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.

Two day mission to Christchurch.

The Daffodil motel is in a very good position. It is a nice walk into the city through Hagley park. There are many shops and eateries close by. The room was large and very clean and well equipped. The staff are friendly and attentive. It was the perfect place for me to stay at for my two day mission to Christchurch.

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!

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😞
