Pet hotel in Christchurch

“This hotel is so new and the location is good it's like a 15-minute walk to the Riverside market and the staff were very nice and welcoming.”

“Most beautiful stay. We were traveling through Christchurch when we decided to stay an extra night to visit friends for dinner quickly booked this place on booking.com easy as service just pulled up needed a PIN code to get into the house and had everything wifi hot shower clean tidy bedroom. We will definitely recommend to other friends and family. May even come back though and stay a night on our way back.”

“We spent the first night of our trip at The George (after much hassle with flight delays, which the team was extremely accommodating for!) was one of the most spectacular nights of our trip! The service was unmatched (Thank you Matt!) and George bear will be our travel companion forever! It was the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate after a long journey and breakfast the next morning was spectacular! My only complaint is that I couldn’t stay forever! I would come to Christchurch just to spend a night here again!”

“The accommodation was fantastic! I stayed here for 2.5 months and it was a really good stay. The hostel is clean, the staff is nice and the prison theme is really cool. If you want a special hostel experience, this should be your choice in Christchurch.”

“Great location for an airport hotel and surprisingly great food great view and wonderful staff. Highly recommend this as a hotel to stay before or after your flight. Beds were very comfortable and spacious rooms with good showers. Buffet breakfast is a must with great selections and as a platinum member we were given barista coffee. Unfortunately there wasn’t an executive lounge for us but still a great hotel.”

“Close to airport, rooms clean and comfy beds, staff very friendly and helpful and organised a taxi for our early morning departure which arrived on time.”

“The best service! We had a large group booking for staff with a wide range of change requests all actioned quickly. Response time is fantastic, very accommodating of our needs. Maria is fantastic.”

“Perfect place to stay at the heart of Christchurch. Cheryl and Jeff made sure that all the rooms are being taken cared of. Always clean, towels are changed daily.sparkling clean and homey.”

“I stayed in November 2024 for 2 days with a late check out. I wanted to give this motel a review as I found the staff extremely helpful as it was my first time in Christchurch. I want to commend the staff making our stay great. The location is fantastic - great bus routes to airport, city and beyond and the Riccarton Mall literally across the road. Being self contained and having a mall across the road made it easy to get supplies to cook food etc. I really recommend Dean Bush Motel - ring them instead of going thru a book app to get the best deal.”

“Everything is perfect during my stay! Spacious, clean, comfy bed, cooling aircond, heated water, walking distance to town.”

“Very clean, modern rooms with all the necessary requirements. The owners could not be more obliging. They went out of their way to accommodate us. Affordable accommodation, central to train station, city centre and airport. Well worth the $$”

“Very nice and clean rooms for a cheap price. Now it’s the amazing service that really want to write about in this review. They had the kindness to ship something I had a left in the room for me back to my address in another city, thank you ! Highly recommend!”

“Very clean and comfortable rooms. Sky TV etc, and at a very reasonable cost. Great host, even took me to my room. Thank you. I will be back.”

“Really cool place & the bar had a great atmosphere. The people running the venue were lovely and very helpful. It is by a main road but great value for what you get and conveniently close to the airport.”

“Very nice motor camp with a great vibe. Great value for money very tidy and clean facilities. I booked one night in the Tui caravan and 2 nights in one of the cabins. Loved the Comfortable beds in the caravan. Friendly helpful staff and very accommodating when my plans got messed around by Airnz. I Will definitely recommend and will stay there again if I’m down that way.”

“We have been sending our girl to Alameda for 2 years now and it’s her absolute favourite place to be! So much so she’s waiting at the door every morning and cry’s the whole way there!! Our girl goes for daycare everyday and we can never thank the team and Davina enough for giving our girl the space to burn her energy and a safe space to stay when we are away from home! I couldn’t recommend a better place and better people! Thank you all for the hard work you do, it doesn’t go unnoticed ❤️”

“Just want to thank the lovely family who manage the Vita Nova Motel for a great stay. We landed at midnight and we were able to arrange a late checkin. The unit was really clean, bed was so comfortable, Netflix to chill out at night, had all the necessary amenities and great service. Daily house keeping was excellent, she was thorough and showed great attention to detail. Laundry facilities were useful. Location was great, central to everything. Would definitely stay again. Thanks again.”

“Unplanned stay with short notice, the room was ideal for a family of 5. Bonus having a kitchen. Plenty of space”

“A rare find! The view from the garden room is stunning, with the sound of the stream lulling you to sleep. Best ever linen. Very welcoming hosts. Really recommend a walk at nearby Harry Ell Track and a drive up to Sugarloaf Scenic Reserve if you’re visiting!”

“I give this place a 5 star in terms of the rooms are spacious, clean and has a home away from home feel. Bathroom is good. Honestly couldn't find a fault with this apartment for the price. The reception staff are wonderful and welcoming. Thank you for your hospitality”

“Prime location, clean room that met all needs. Very friendly, helpful staff. Certainly returning when next in Christchurch. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay. Many thanks.”

“We could not fault our stay. Excellent location. Very friendly obliging owner. Immaculately clean with every anentity we required. This is our new go to place to stay when we come to Christchurch several times a year.”

“A gem of a place to stay! With warm, clean, comfortable rooms and close to supermarkets, restaurants and service stations it was has everything you need. What elevates it is the wonderful staff. Warm and inviting when you arrive and helpful and kind throughout, would stay again without hesitation.”

“ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS 10/10. Ace host's, beautiful accommodation. Very very helpful and a good laugh too. Fiona could be my mum any day even though she's a year younger. Big thankyou for putting us up. Xxx”

“Second time staying here. Again a lovely stay. THANK YOU for allowing us to book in way earlier than the stated time. Will comeback again fir sure.”

“Have been here a couple of times for a drink and most recently a meal. The staff behind the bar are friendly and my meal (chicken salad) was restaurant quality and delicious. Will definitely return.”

“Had a really good experience at Rydges Latimer Christchurch with my Lion group from Taiwan. I was struggling to find a place to park the coach, and Lama from the Front Office came out straight away to help. He showed me the possible parking spots and then personally guided my group through reception to the restaurant. Even though he was busy at the front desk, he still made sure everything went smoothly for us. We had dinner at Bloody Mary’s, and the restaurant was great. Everyone had steak booked, but since I don’t eat steak, they kindly arranged chicken for me. The food was really good and the whole team looked after us well. Big thanks to Lama and the staff at Rydges for making our visit easy and welcoming.”

“Such great customer service. They replaced our sheets, washed the dishes and left new towels for us every day. The communication was also clear and fast. Even though it is near a main road the traffic was light in the evenings and the rooms have double glazing, so I was able to get a great sleep. The heater was left on before we arrived so the room was nice and warm. Also really competitive pricing. Thanks!!!”

“Very clean and central! The bed and sheets felt top quality too! Great spacious clean shower. The reception man was friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend! I’ll be back for sure!!!”
