Lake Forsyth

I stayed here for 4 days and I can't speak highly enough of this motel the staff and owners were so friendly and helpful. The motel is centrally situated to almost every holiday highlight you want to see in Christchurch also so many restaurants and fast food outlets.

The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. However, the main reason I chose this hotel was for the rooftop bar and restaurant, only to find it's closed on Sunday and Monday nights. I also paid $53 for breakfast (for two) because of the great reviews from others. However, the restaurant was closed for the public holiday, so instead we were given a voucher to have breakfast at Ibis, only a 2 min walk away. Unfortunately, the food and drink were awful, and the staff unhelpful. If I'd known the standard would be so poor, I'd have asked for a refund instead.

Great location to the city centre. Friendly staff and many places to eat close by.
