Pet friendly hotel in Christchurch

“I highly recommend Ashleigh Court Motel in Christchurch. It is a gem. The room and bed were very comfortable. The kitchenette was well equipped with enough glasses, mugs and crockery. There was a great shower with really hot water and good quality towels. It is in such a quiet, serene setting with lots of trees and birds, so close to Mona Vale and Hagley Park as well as Riccarton Shopping Mall so is super convenient! The new owner was very helpful and kind. We were there at Christmas and the new owners treated us to lovely Christmas lights and a sweet treat for the family which was so special. Thanks Lulu - we will be back!”

“Great friendly staff, great Irish bar across the road. Also a washer and dryer in the room. A warm room and a comfy bed. Also a really quiet place. I will be back.”

“Enjoyed staying here, stayed in the family room, was a very cosy home away from home, even had a bath, also very friendly staff who gave us a good deal.”

“Room is spacious. Everything is clean and tidy. Great location. Full kitchenwares. Owner is very kind and friendly. As my schedule changed so I decided to checkout 1 day earlier. I just asked without expectation for the refund but the owner did refund 100% of 1 night to me.”

“Spotlessly Clean, comfortable and restful unit. The shower has a great pressure and was sooo relaxing after a day of travelling. We had a two bedroom unit which was spacious enough to accommodate a 3 yr old running about. Office staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.”

“Perfect place to stay, nice city view, fantastic services.”

“This is our go to when staying in Christchurch. With young kids, they are safe because when you open your front door you are in a secure courtyard, not right into the car park. Across the street there is also an awesome playground. The rooms are large and clean. The courtyard has aplenty of space, picnic tables and a BBQ. Perfect for family groups or sports teams.”

“Gerald was excellent to deal with, I very much appreciated his service and also his help during my stay at the motel finding a house. Thank You”

“Really impressed with this motel for the price! The room was clean, modern, and spacious. The room was large enough to have an infant cot and still good space around it. The kitchen was petite but exactly as I expected for a studio. The bathroom was spacious, with nice amenities, and great shower pressure. Nice toilet paper too! Haha. Also impressed that our room was serviced even though we only stayed two nights in total. Great location, a short drive to Riccarton Westfield Mall, Tower Junction, and a short walk to a great cafe Addington Co Op.”

“Coachman inn motel were very accommodating we came from the north island as my partners dad was very ill we didn't know how long we would need to stay they made sure our stay was welcoming and accommodated us for all the days we needed thank you so much for making a difficult time easy when it came to our accommodation”

“We stayed in Rm 2 and Rm 6, the rooms are very clean, bed are very comfortable and the kitchen are very nice and clean. The location are close to everything park, restaurant, supermarket and mall. The host is friendly and vey good service. We will stay again and again... we found a good place to stay.. Thanks Roger..”

“Very clean and tidy. Could do with minor repair in bathroom but overall great. Good location to woolfbrook arena and Addington raceway.”

“Wonderful staff in the office! A small and peaceful campsite, near the beach. Probably the best water pressure I've ever seen for a campsite shower too”

“Peppers Clearwater really blew us away. We booked a Lakeview Suite through an Accor Plus More Escapes deal that came with breakfast, a three-course dinner, and a cheese platter with a bottle of wine – such great value. The suite itself was gorgeous, the perfect spot to unwind and recharge. Sitting out on the deck watching the ducks and swans glide by, with the sun setting over the lake, was just magic. The staff made the stay even better – both the bar and restaurant teams went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. Dinner was a real highlight: duck salad and grilled scallops to start, then fish and lamb for mains, and tiramisu plus panna cotta for dessert. Every dish was spot on. Breakfast the next morning was à la carte with excellent barista-made soy lattes, and I have to say, the eggs benedict was the best I’ve ever had. We were lucky with the spring weather too, and enjoyed our cheese platter and wine out on the deck in the sunshine – pure bliss. The little touches also made a difference, like being able to do a load of washing and plug in our rented Tesla overnight in the garage. We honestly couldn’t recommend Clearwater more. Huge thanks to all the staff for making us feel so welcome and completely spoiled.”

“Friendly staff and very spacious, clean rooms. Highly recommended due to its central location—close to town and the casino. We love the the area and were very pleased with our stay.”

“My stay here was quite pleasant. I arrived past check-in hours. So, they emailed me the code to the lockbox outside the lobby to retrieve my key. My room was on the second floor. There were two convenient sets of stairs. The room was clean, quiet and well-equipped. I had a rental car and there was ample free parking. There were some reasonably-priced snacks and sodas in the room available to purchase. I spent $10 over the course of a few days and it was worth it. I will definitely stay here again. Front desk staff was very helpful.”

“I’ve been staying at this backpackers hostel for the past 2 weeks , and my experience has been very good. The stay was comfortable, the facilities were well-maintained, and the environment was friendly. Overall, a pleasant and hassle-free experience.”

“We stayed in the three room family apartment. It was very clean, modern, and well set out, with a TV in each room, and a large and functional bathroom. Super comfortable beds! Close to the city and very reasonably priced, this was the best accommodation on this quick trip around the south island.”

“This place is Amazing! We had a wonderful time there! The room are tidy, beds are clean and comfortable, bathroom is shining! The most impression for me are the paintings. The owner said his wife did them! She must be a life loving person! That’s probably why the rooms are so tidy and clean! The owner is very friendly and nice! He recommended a lot of good restaurants and fun places for kids! We had a wonderful in Christchurch! This is the most valuable and comfortable motel in my whole trip! High Recommend!!!”

“Hello, I would love to visit your farm. Are we allowed to pick cherries on December 7, 2025?”

“So peaceful. A place to relax and refresh the batteries. Staff are great and make everyone feel like family. Great price Great atmosphere Great people”

“As advertised. Not a 5 star hotel but for a motel unit was quite fine. Staff was helpful and friendly, room was nice. Water pressure In the shower was amazing. Would stay again.”

“Wonderfully clean and tidy motel in a great location. I was unsure about whether there would be a lot of traffic noise but it was amazingly quiet as the units are double glazed. Good kitchen facilities, and friendly staff. We would happily stay here whenever we are in Christchurch”

“I had amazing stay here. Staff is very friendly and polite. The lady at the front desk is very kind and helpful. Great rooms, very clean and spacious. Children had good fun in the swimming pool.”

“Ok supermarket, which is well presented. Plenty of car parking and centrally located in Rangiora. Countdown has a good variety of products. Reasonably priced with most of products that you will need. Good customer service at the check outs and reasonably easy to find assistance if you need help. This supermarket is an ok place to get what you need. Nothing brilliant stands out about this Countdown apart from it's a quite new building, so it is has a very good layout inside and outside.”

“We had the most amazing time here and didn’t want to leave! Perfect location just a bus ride into the city which leaves from outside. The room was perfect exactly what we needed and the bed was so comfortable. The food in the restaurant/bar was amazing and extra points for the good Guiness which my partner said was the best one he’s had in New Zealand!! Top class service and hospitality, shoutout to the manager who really engaged with us throughout our trip and who was always up for a chat, he took care of everything we needed throughout our trip and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend staying here to everyone traveling to Christchurch and would love to return again.”

“Great location! walking distance to city centre. Staff are very friendly.”

“I arrived in Christchurch on a red-eye flight for a solo trip and was a bit nervous since it was my first time staying in backpacker-style accommodation—especially arriving at 2am. I spent two nights in the all-female pod room and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was great, with a diverse mix of ages and travellers. The facilities were clean, from the shower and toilet block to the kitchen. It’s also super convenient, with a grocery store, café, and car hire all just a short 2-minute walk away. The staff were wonderful—relaxed, friendly, and very accommodating. I’d definitely stay here again, especially for late-night or early-morning flights. Downside: Pod aircons could do with a service. Mine was a little noisy and struggling to cool my pod (This is the only reason why I did not rate the room 5 stars) I can sleep through the aircon but if your a light sleeper, I’d recommend booking a private room rather than a shared room.”
