"Great choice if looking for a budget option near the airport. Amenities were quite nice, bathroom was clean, and staff was very helpful. Not a ton of space, but very doable for a night or two."

"It's a backpackers hostel with the option of private rooms too. Lots of interesting people and a great area to explore as a tourist by the sea with easy bus routes to the city too."

"The motel is conveniently located and good value for money. It is basic but we didn't come to Christchurch to spend time in the room and it was fine."

Stroll through the Botanic Gardens then hop on a historic tram to explore the rebuilt city center. Punting on the Avon River offers peaceful views while day trips to nearby Banks Peninsula reveal hidden bays and walking trails.
Loved how they held to the theme, even signs are to inmates from wardens. Be sure to take your own towel. Lots of fun, but probably not what mature travelers will prefer for long visits.

Such friendly and welcoming people who work here. Had a wonderful, charming time during my two week stay. The space heater worked great and made my room cozy during cold nights. The shower water was hot. The food at the restaurant downstairs was impressively delicious especially for being at a hotel/bar. The TV was massive and very comfortable bed. Free WiFi and towels. Very affordable. So many things here to be grateful for.
