Motel in Christchurch

“I stayed for a few days on holiday the owner hospitality was great she offered help to dry my clothes without any extra cost while my granddaughter and i could go to Christchurch for the day every thing in the unit immaculate and anything we wanted know they would be so helpful i recommend this lodge Motel to anyone or groups who want to stay in Rangiora also it's very close to the town and picture theatre 15min walk awesome.”

“Absolutely welcoming host who made sure my dog could stay with me – really appreciated that! The kitchen was super functional and the space itself was a great size. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend!”

“I was actually very impressed with the room 33. Very clean and cozy, well heated, comfortable bed, good hot water pressure in the shower, no noise, everything new, high quality and functional. Good selection of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, shampoo, conditioner. Large TV, hair dryer, additional blankets, pillows, towels etc available. Free parking just in front of the room. The reception was very polite and warm, offered milk, answered all queries. Required a small bond which was promptly refunded after check out. Room well serviced. Definitely way above expectations for the price. The location is also exceptional for central city events.”

“Comfortable rooms, comfortable bed at a good price. Clean rooms, well serviced. Location is close to Riccarton / Westfield Mall. An easy walk to shop to you drop! Mc Donald's is also easy walking distance. Some staff at time did not seem to have english as a first language, but communicated ok... On Riccarton Road, so good access to central Christchurch city centre and also towards the main number 1 highway and airport. Good value for money in my view. Reccomend if you want a comfortable stay at a good price and location.”

“Had a wonderful stay here. My partner and I moved down to Christchurch so I can study at the university. We had nowhere to go and Colonial Inn offered us longterm accommodation. The staff were very welcoming and understanding of our situation. We are so grateful for the team. It's also really close to city center and bus stops nearby for anyone visiting. 10/10 recommend. Would definitely stay again if we move and come back to visit one day. Good affordable accommodation and lovely staff members.”

“Very clean very friendly, good location, we had bikes so was easy to get around”

“booked for their shared toilet, double bed room, very nice host, very helpful and generous. Room are small but clean, the room doesn't come with toilet or shower so I have to get our from my room to the bathroom and locking my door on the way. But considering the price it's a nice choice. Though people who prefer less noise shouldn't choose this, as in the door are a bit loud. But I still give it a 10 for its kind service.”

“Stayed in this motel for few weeks everything was perfect and staff were very friendly and provided me everything I needed, staff there take care of customers very well , highly recommend people stay here”

“I stayed for four nights and had a wonderful experience. The room was clean, warm, and very comfortable—perfect for escaping the cold Christchurch weather. The kitchen and bathroom were well-equipped with everything I needed, and the WiFi was fast and reliable. Best of all, the price was incredibly reasonable for such great quality. Highly recommended for budget-conscious travelers who still want a clean, cozy, and convenient stay!”

“I can not recommend Cheryl high enough, we had our 3 babies with her over Christmas just been (2023) for a week. Due to no fault of her own (our vet being lazy) our 11 month old kitten fell very ill, Cheryl went above and beyond and did everything she could for our precious peach. If you want to take your cats to someone who cares, you can’t get any better than Cheryl at 4 paws”

“Well appointed, clean and well presented, we loved having the lift as my husband struggles to get upstairs, Phil was very welcoming. We would most definitely stay there again.”

“Excellent location near many central attractions, nice rooms and good value breakfast. We had room 1, which is quite spacious, large bathroom and shower, all wheelchair accessible.”

“Great motel. Friendly and helpful, I would definately return. They even had an ironing board! Thanks 123 Motel ;)”

“Stayed here before flying out of Christchurch. Uber is around 50nzd to airport. Owner was amazing and loved some banter! Very accommodating and even though he had over bookings (because of third party booking apps) he made it work for us. Rooms are simple but have everything you need. There is a bar at the front and the staff are lovely there too. True kiwi hospitality! Chur!”

“For anyone looking for a special treat then I highly recommend going to a Long Table Lunch. The service and the ambience is exceptional and you can just feel the history oozing out from inside and outside of the lodge. Chef Jimmy is an absolute whiz in the kitchen and it was a true honour to sample several of his masterpieces. I'd also like to praise the exceptional efforts the lovely Lucy took to make me and my octogenarian mother feel at home. She was a true star and we really appreciated her assistance during our meal and garden tour. It was a gorgeous excursion and an experience we will warmly cherish forever. Merry Christmas and our best wishes to all the wonderful team at Otahuna Lodge.”

“Peter and Tessa are exceptional moteliers, they go out of their way to accommodate the needs of their guests. They were prompt and reliable with airport pick-ups and were also very obliging with dropping us off at a family event. The motel rooms were large, light and airy, and very well equipped. We appreciated the space of the one bedroom unit. The gardens are immaculate and very colourful. We’ll be back!”

“Absolutely beautiful little retreat, the rooms are the perfect size for a couples getaway, the views are incredible and the best part was the hot tub at night with the stars and one of the best wines we have tasted. We feel refreshed and renewed. Lots of extra details that made this place such a gem, from Bluetooth connectivity throughout the room to the luxury bathroom and of course the super comfy bed. Well done to all who make this place so special, couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to start our NZ holiday. Thank you :)”

“Whilst attending my daughter's wedding celebrations, I booked three rooms, for three nights, for my family members travelling from Melbourne. I cannot speak highly enough of our hosts Frank and Jenny, who took us into and shared their home with us. The location is within walking distance of the village of Lyttleton and its services. Our hosts were attentive, friendly and supportive, but, not intrusive. Their rooms were a delight, comfortable, spacious and serviced daily, unless one signed that it was not necessary. Ensuites, heated towel racks, room heaters ensured a comfortable stay. The views over Lyttleton Harbour are breathtaking, complemented by the external open patio, complete with outdoor furniture and barbecue for guests to relax and enjoy. Complimentary cereals, yogurts, fruit, tea and coffees ensure a relaxing start to the day. Frank and Jenny are approachable, friendly and helpful, we enjoyed our stay and commend you to them when next you visit Christchurch or Lyttleton areas.”

“Super clean everywhere! It was so well stocked with everything we needed. The host was fantastic. So lovely and helpful Plus they have a shop downstairs which is great! Thank you for a lovely stay!”

“Stayed at Golden Hotel for 2 nights. This hotel exceeded my expectations. Very clean and tidy, amenities were great. Very close to food places and Westfield mall. Will be coming back here whenever we come back to Christchurch.”

“Cute place near everything. We walked mostly. Parking is close quarters but at least they have some! Rooms are spacious and comfy. Staff are awesome.”

“totally awesome place to stay in everyway!.....hosts are so accomodating and helpful.....everything spotlessly clean and tidy, comfy bed and nice personal touches in the room. Will def. stay again and highly recommend for location, price and comfort in one of ChCh's best suburbs.”

“Worked a Corporate Challenge in Christchurch this week. Commodore Hotel was exceptionally localed for both the event and airport. It has the most luxurious bed. It was like sleeping on clouds. The kitchen was open for a late night dinner, which was very much appreciated with finishing so late. The breakfast this morning was delicious. Offering both a Continental Breakfast and brilliant A La Carte. I opted for the Continental which was perfectly satisfying.”

“Friendly easy going. Nice rooms, nice we shopping center butchery, bakery pub and restaurants just up the rd”
