Location was great, short walk to the mall! The heater was on for us on arrival, it was even turned back on for us after we had been out for the day which was awesome! There was a porter cot provided for our baby. The owner had a cute little dog named Skittle. On departure there was 2 bottles of warm water for us to de-ice our window screen which was great, we didn’t have to wait for ages for it to defrost with a baby.
All the windows were wet from the heater being on and the cold weather outside I assume, and the bathroom was wet after having a shower, even with the window open.

The Staff was friendly. Welcome drinks were served and we appreciate it. Not all Motels would offer the same.
I felt that the sheets and pillow cases were not newly washed. The towels have off smell as well. Though they look clean, I prefer the smell would been better.

Very clean, and the shower was excellent! Way nicer than I expected for a roadside motel.

The hosts were welcoming, helpful, & accommodating. The space was well-sized and well-appointed, with everything we could need in bedroom, kitchen & bathroom.
On the second night we had to ask other guests to please keep quiet, as a group gathered in the courtyard between their room & ours to ‘party’ with loud voices & music. I spoke with them about 10.15pm, after which they obliged & went indoors. I informed them of our need to sleep in preparation for an early morning flight.

What a great place to stay. Very handy to Riccarton Mall and the bed was firm, but comfortable.
It was hot and we wanted to sleep with the window open. The blind kept banging against the window frame, which was a little annoying. Everything else was great.
4.5
Location amazing close to shops and supermarket, spacious for a family. Laundry facilities and they provided washing powder. Air conditioner was great on hot day.
Maintenance issues such as carpet coming up, sealant around bathroom coming off. Lots of dust around skirtings such as in toilet and pockets of areas not cleaned 100% such as shower. No tin opener so they provided one but it didn’t work so ended up using a knife
4.5
Kitchen was very well-equipped with a full size refrigerator and dish washer.
Laundry room came with easy to use washer and tumble dryer. Dying rack was handy for drying laundry that you do not want to put in the dryer.
Short walk to the supermarket, shops and eateries.
Nothing much, but would be nice if the beds were firmer.
Closets a little tired looking, but still functional
4.5
The house was daylit and naturally ventilated with windows open. Very homely feel. Short walking distance to supermarket, mall and McD's, yet quiet at night for rest. Also walking distance to farmer's market.
The kitchen could do with more appliances and perhaps more complete set of cutlery as we had to mix and match for our group of 5. There were also some instructions on cooking smell so we were quite conscious of that.
4.5
This motel is always clean, the staff friendly and accommodating. Its location on Riccarton Road makes it close to town, park and hospital and malls. Every time we stay there our room is always well presented, clean and very satisfactory.
4.5
The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable. All facilities were there that I could have wanted including microwave, iron, hairdryer, tv etc. The coffee plunger with sachet of coffee was nice. Free cookies with the tea/coffee.
The location was a little further from town than I would have preferred, but it was on a main road and easy to navigate into the CBD. The room was upstairs with no lift. Milk was just in the little sachets rather than a half litre container. There was no shower cap and soap and shampoo were in dispensers, so no freebies.

4.5
Was welcomed on arrival in a very friendly and courteous manner, room was ready and was as promised in the advertising. Bed was very comfortable and room was very clean with good heating. Early checkout was trouble free.
Spa bath water had a slight musty smell to it but a minor problem.
