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.
Friendly helpful owners and staff. Easy walk to nearby food outlets.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Good value for money has a full kitchen shower and lounge living room two chairs which is comfortable a dining table in the kitchen and a full stove.
Bed was firm, but it was comfortable. Unfortunately they turned the fridges off which was very annoying because it was 30° outside and it took forever for a fridge to cool down.
although it’s on main road it’s not overly clear noisy.
Friendly staff probably would come and stay again.
Fantastic affordable family accommodation.
Although the property is older it was very clean and tidy.
Nice and comfortable, perfect for our family of 4.
