This was a great stay for our group. We utilised their airport transfer service, they were prompt and proactive with phone contact to arrange pickup and our room was open and ready when we arrived at the accommodation. Room was clean and had everything for our needs. Staff were friendly and super helpful right up to the Railway station transfer tne next morning. Would definitely stay again.
Thanks
It was our 2nd time staying at Tower Junction Motor Lodge. We really like it because it has everything we need and its within walking distance to the Mall and to the Tower Junction shopping Centre. We also appreciated the lift to our day on the TranzAlpine train.
A very good option when taking the TranzAlpine train the next morning as only a 10min walk. The studio room was very good, clean, bed was quite ok, microwave & kitchen utensils useful….. recommend.
Lovely owners, helped us when we had questions about the property and places to visit in Christchurch.
I fully recommend this place .
We will stay again when we visit chch again .
Staff were awesome check in and out process was simple and easy. Room was absolutely amazing for the price, could not have expected more. Overall a beautiful place to stay wish it was longer
Excellent location near the train station and the motel manager does complementary transfers to/from the station and also provides plunger coffee in the room. Great value for money in a great location.
