The location was fantastic! Room was wonderful. Only one issue, I a was travelling for work & required iron and ironing board! These weren’t in the room and I had to ask another guest to borrow them! Would have got a perfect score apart from that😞

Clean and comfortable stay

Staff was wonderful, and a clean nice place to stay after landing in Christchurch after a very long flight. Walking distance to shops and restaurants made it also convenient and there was a place to park our campervan too which was awesome.

Once I worked out the key situation, I was in a warm, clean, spacious room with modern facilities that functioned well. Having now stayed at a few places around the park, this has by far been the best. Staff were responsive to emails through the night and helped with requests. Well done!

A very good motel to stay. It is clean and in very good condition. The bed could do with replacing as it was pretty well worn, saggy, but we did have a good sleep.

Location is good, check in was a bit strange. Never had a photo of my ID taken, especially when booked by an app. Rooms are very basic and stark. The only art on the bare white walls was a smoke free site and fire escape instruction. Pillows were so flat it took 3 to get comfortable. There was a set of house rules that was more loke a school dorm set of rules. Visitors only allowed between 8am and 8pm, rooms to be kept tidy, no alcohol or smoking, etc... It matched the feel of the room..... not a first choice...

Assez spacieux et assez bien équipé pour se faire des repas. A distance de marche du parc, nous étions à vélo, donc tres facile de se deplacer à partir du motel. Personnel sympathique
