Pet hotel in Christchurch

“Exceptional & top marks for Abbella Lodge Motel! The business operators - Anita and Shane went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable! The motel was perfectly located just across a major Supermart (Pak n Save), and their prompt service made check-in seamless. Communication was effortless, and the cleanliness of the beddings and surroundings was impressive. Most importantly, Anita and Shane's friendly and helpful nature made us feel right at home. We'd highly recommend this stay and would book again in a heartbeat!" More power to you guys! Villanueva Family - Philippines”

“Had a fantastic stay at the Randolph Apartments over Labour Weekend! Fantastic well appointed rooms, so clean and tidy, host really friendly and helpful! Also walking distance from some good restaurants! Also loved the fact that they had a bottle of dishwashing liquid not those horrible little sachets! Will definitely stay again!”

“Well located motel just minutes from the Botanic Gardens. We arrived in 5 deg C weather and the heating was turned on for us to enjoy the room immediately. Very thoughtful gesture. Our room had 1 king bed, 2 twin beds, a kitchenette, a dining table with 4 chairs, and a toilet. Comfortable space for 4 adults. Only issue is that the beds are a little on the soft side but pillows are firm & high, which made for a pretty weird sleep at an angle. Washer & dryer available, which were very useful! Kitchen had a full sized fridge, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, French Press, and an induction stove, hob, and pots and pans. Functional! Definitely recommend this place for those looking for a simple, fuss-free but comfortable stay but don't mind soft beds.”

“We live staying here; both the units and the old house are fabulous and the team on site are the best… always prefer to stay here if we’re visiting Christchurch”

“Definitely a place not to be missed - you will meet the most lovely alpacas here. We had a restful night’s stay with comfy beds and fluffy pillows. Many thanks to Kit for the farm tour and sharing stories which we truly enjoyed. We will be back to visit again!”

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

“Such a lovely unit, everything you need for your stay, the gardens are immaculate, the unit very clean and comfy ... And even had a Christmas tree in the unit ... The most Christmas we've seen since arriving in the South Island. Very much appreciated ❤️”

“I can’t speak highly enough about this motel and the awesome owners Brendon and Tina. They bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay, even allowing us an early check-in and late checkout to work around medical appointments. Brendon even brought in some mobility aids to make life easier in the unit. It was like a home away from home for us…spacious, clean, quiet, well equipped and very handy to some great eateries. They even had pot plants to give it a homely feel. We will definitely look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Christchurch.”

“My wife and I had a wonderful stay at The Milano Christchurch. The room was very clean, spacious, and highly functional, making it extremely comfortable. The service was friendly and welcoming.”

“Great central location with an easy walk to many highlights of the city, especially New Regent St for coffee, gelato and dining. Warm comfortable suite with everything we needed for a 5 day staycation. Beautiful building and lively atmosphere out front was always a great welcome home. Communication from Zeenie & Sarah was exceptional given unexpected change in travel plans. Would definitely book again.”

“Came across this place when looking for a place to stay in Little River after cycling the Rail Trail and before venturing further into the peninsula. This place was amazing - it really was - I just wish I had more time than an overnight stop to enjoy it. The design philosophy and practice is totally inspirational. I hope to stay again one day.”

“Absolutely delightful atmosphere with a video showing floral landscapes and tranquil music. Cappuccino good. Friendly staff. As a follower of Jesus, I felt very comfortable here. 4:44 pm on September 19 2025”

“Situated in approximately 26acres of bushland, adjacent to the Ashley gorge and Ashley River. This is a beautiful area with plenty of space for everyone. There are clean and modern bathrooms and well appointed kitchens. A small playground, with swings and a slide etc, sitting on a raised area full of bark-chips for safety. Lots of time and effort has been put into this park over the last few years, and is a credit to the new owners.”

“People who don’t use Everything Dog daycare would honestly have no idea how fantastic this place really is. I’m amazed how many ‘daycare’ facilities offer a concrete yard, or a paddock with nothing else in it. No climbing (which my dog loves), no puzzles, no variety, no pools, toys, balls, enrichment, no sensory experiences. This is the Rolls Royce of daycares, a completely deluxe experience, that all dogs deserve, but few get. I’m so grateful to be a customer here.”

“Thankyou Penny Lovely stay and very clean comfortable and comfortable Would recommend”

“Excellent care of both nervous cat parent and the cats themselves. The young woman I dealt with, both at drop off and pick up, clearly has an infinity with cats and I was super impressed with her handling of both cats. I've used this cattery before and will use again without hesitation.”

“very clean and tidy, luxurious room at a good price, close to city and had everything I needed! Highly recommend, would definitely stay here again”

“Major home run here. This place is really nice and especially at the price. Clean and mostly new. If we return to Christchurch this is where we are going to stay.”

“Good service, very welcoming. Will come again for sure”

“Our room was clean, modern, and had everything we needed. It's a busy area but still quiet. Walking distance to a really nice mall and McDonald's. The people running it are very nice and helpful. I definetly recommend staying here. We used points to stay, but the regular price is really good!!!!”

“The owners are lovely, very friendly Definitely will be back, would definitely recommend staying here, the wee units are warm and clean, and close to pakn save and other shops”

“It was just lovely the service second to none very quiet exceptionally clean and comfortable I would Highly recommend this motor lodge”

“Lovely 3 night stay. Immaculately clean rooms, comfy beds, very quiet and simple breakfast available from very friendly hosts. Walking distance from the city and convenient location if you are coming from the airport - just get the No. 3 bus.”

“This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners are terrific. The rooms are a little dated but I didn’t mind. It’s affordable, clean, and comfortable. I would stay here again.”

“We loved staying here, perfect for what we needed. Warm and clean. Bon is wonderful. Would come back here definitely.”

“Great overnight stay. Surprisingly quiet given how busy the Street is. (I'm a light sleeper too). Everything needed was in the little cottage. The coffee plunger was a nice treat and appreciated. Thankyou.”

“This motel is one of the top three motel rooms I've ever stayed in and I'm nearly 50 years of age...that's in Australia and here...certainly the best one we stayed at on our trip in New Zealand. The mattress has actually fixed my back from the previous motel rooms that we stayed in elsewhere on our trip. We got the top of the line room and it was so worth it... had everything and really spacious. The television has a normal remote control as well making it easy to use. The help and availability from the manager was really comforting as well...so friendly. Put a smile on the dial of my dearest and made for a great evening for the both of us. Only 200 metres from the only pub in town too...5 stars.”

“We have just stayed at this wonderful motel. Spotlessly clean. Could not fault it all. The most comfortable bed we have ever had a motel. We will certainly be back.”

“A stunning wee motel on the edge of Kaiapoi. Our host was helpful gracious and fun. The rooms so nice, clean and just what some weary travelers needed. A great stay”

“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.”
