Pets in Christchurch

“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”

“This place has a very confident hotel and the room number was four. There were three beds and the shower was comfortable and hot shower was hot and comfy. I know the owner is a little bit strict about the hotel rules, but if you use it nicely he will say nothing so I love this hotel. There is a free wifi there too! I recommend this hotel to everyone!”

“Gorgeous! Found some absolute gems here. It's a big store so take your time, great quality stuff here!”

“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.”

“I dined here with my partner for dinner and from start to finish we had outstanding service. Very friendly and welcoming staff with warm smiles. Our food wasn’t rushed out which we loved including not rushing our our main after entree. The food was amazing! One of the best we have had and so nicely presented. I highly recommend this restaurant!”

“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.”

“This particular store is quite unique in that they a sell unusual items which you don't find in your typical Chch supermarket. If you're struggling to find something you may just find it in this supermarket.”

“Great customer service. Clean and tidy store.”

“Many things are selling cheap here probably because they are just newly opened. One thing that surprised me was that, in the refill station, they have smoothie stuff which are protein powder, and superfood powder, which I couldn't find in other Park N Save, which I really need. Good job!”

“Even thought it's one of the smaller Warehouses, it always has a really good range of products.”

“Shopped at Woolworths Rolleston last week with my baby and had a great experience. I prefer cashier checkout as I have a baby in my hands and always have a great experience with beautiful staff helping me at checkouts. But this last shop Sagar made my day. He was very friendly, he actually cared about my groceries so he packed them very well so nothing gets squished etc. He showed me how to use boosters in the app so I could receive more points and save more in the future. I really appreciate his service and will come back as these kind of days stay in the memory and brighten the week.”

“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.”

“One of the older stores I've been in, but tidy, well stocked, friendly staff. A little smaller than other ones but efficient.”

“Always a great experience with OurVets, they are accommodating with bookings and have fit us in last minute several times over the years, and the team really care about our dogs, always greeting them when we come in and the vets being very thorough with our consults. The reception team are lovely and I wish I knew their names but one of the ladies in particular has been so helpful with the process of transferring our dogs' info over as we move to Aus. Really appreciate it!”

“What a nice place to stay. We were waiting in Christchurch before taking the TranzAlpine. The staff were so friendly. General amenities were present and the hygiene and cleanliness was up to standard. Perfect for anyone”

“Very tidy and clear aisles. Staff super busy. At prescription counter staff all heads down working. Phone ringing and attempts made to answer it between servings customers. The man who served me was lovely”

“The owner is passionate, caring, and really accommodating albeit a bit crazy (I mean that lovingly). The room smelled great and was clean. This my fault for not reading clearly, but the room doesn’t have air con and there is no fan. I just came from Antarctica and therefore super hot- maybe it wouldn’t have been a big deal otherwise. PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE BOOKING THROUGH A THIRD PARTY- Agoda made things really difficult for the owner and me by overbooking. The location was good for me due to what I needed but it’s a bit far from central. With everything said, I’d stay here again for the owners genuine.”

“Okay, so I have reviewed this place already. But I feel it worth it to add another positive review after my last few stays. Have stayed at 162 many times now. It's fairly short drive from the airport makes it a convenient overnight halt for me. The rooms are well appointed and clean. The owner is a absolute delight to deal with, his customer service is above and beyond. Showers have great pressure, rooms are toasty and warm, and beds comfortable with quality linen. Full Sky TV offered, and the motel is across the road from the Westfield mall. Waking up in a motel on Christmas morning is never fun, but I was glad I was staying at 162! Thanks team, keep up the great work!!!”

“Lovely, clean motel that's been recently decorated. Good location, walking distance to the Uni. Really friendly staff who go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable. Will definitely come back here.”

“Special mention of helpful service from Miami, Mason, and Camile. A great calm experience getting all the products on my list. Great team work, thank you.”

“The manager was extremely accommodating by letting us store packs before check in and after on both times staying here. He dropped us off at the train and picked us up. Fantastic location and tidy rooms. Very good value for money”

“What a pleasant store ! Went here for the first time today and will be my new go to from now on. Very fresh veggies and appealing bakery and meat deals, wide isles and minimal customers when I went there. Saw a great deal I'm going to get next Thursday, cooked chicken with a pottel of slaw and 6 little buns $15”

“Had to go to Christchurch a day early than planned. And booked here last minute. The service and communication was amazing. The rooms is fantastic. The bathroom and shower great. Beds are so comfortable and a great night sleep. Would definitely recommend booking here”

“The rooms are a bit small but the amenities are great. The staff was friendly and location was right in city centre, only an 8 minute walk to the bus station. The soap dispensers were weird though, you have to squeeze the bottle”

“i do my shop here every week and always receive great customer service, especially this morning being served by the lovely blonde lady at checkout and another woman who i think is the manager who guided me to an open checkout, she is always super friendly. great supermarket :)”
