Nice and close to the beach. Communication was great and the room had everything needed to cook a small meal. Outside of the busyness of Christchurch, this is a great town to visit and place to stay.

Despite helpfullness at office, was disappointed on arrival to find my door was awry on its hinges and wouldn't shut. (It was fixed later which was good). AlsoThe bathroom basin plug was jammed closed so unable to let water out. I felt that the cleaners must have noticed these faults and should have reported them to the office. Other than that it was a clean and pleasant apartment and I would consider booking again.

Great location. Loved the private outside seating area. Free use of laundry. Sadly the TV Signal was lost throughout the motel. It would have been helpful if we were told this at checking. Things go wrong we understand. Fixed on day 2. Free Netflix. Helpful staff. Clean and comfortable stay we would recommended it .

Wow! The friendliest welcome we have ever received 😊
Apartment is neat and tidy and has everything we need. The pretty quilts on the bed make it feel like we are guests in someone's home and not in a motel.
