The room was really spacious with a full kitchen and separate bathroom. The beds were very comfortable. The couple running the place are very nice. Its very close to the railway station (we walked back in the morning as the night before the taxis were charging $45 for a 4 min ride! The walk was easy). We would stay here again!

Very friendly staff, clean room.
We stay here every time we come to Christchurch.
Older style motel.
Stoves, table & chairs, lounge chairs, seating outside every unit, 12 in all I think.
Close to city, Hagley Park.
Gas station next door, other shops close by, including pub, takeawayfoods.
