We really enjoyed our short stay. The Receptionist was lovely and helpful. The premises was clean, tidy and homely. It could do with an update though however that did not take away from the hospitality or comfort. We would stay here again. Thank you Team Southern comfort xox

It was very last minute so I was really happy with the accommodation. I felt it did smell a bit damp and the bathroom light wasn't working. I also found a hoodie hanging on the back of the bathroom door.

we were very happy with our stay here. It was quiet, clean and comfortable with easy parking for our daughter who would pick us up each morning and drop us back at night. We did mention to the receptionist that the shower was too hot. To get it to a reasonable temperature the force of the water had to be excessive. But we are looking forward to returning on our next visit to Chch.

Room in good condition, clean and staff were friendly. Could do with a new sofa/pull out bed. There was only 2 of us, and didnt require a pullout bed, and was uncomfortable to sit on during the day/evening. Otherwise was sufficient for the length of time we were there (9days) close to the city

Close to the park. Generally, a decent enough place to stay. A $100 deposit was requested, which I did not notice on any of the info given on the motel. When the EFTPOS machine didn't work, I was asked if I had enough money (worked the second time with a different method). There was an incident at about 1:30 AM where a person was persistently yelling and knocking at a different unit and lasted for at least 30 min intermittently.

The room had a really good shower, comfortable bed. Staff were very friendly, house keeping everyday. Only things i can fault are, the room we were in was right by the road and all you could hear was the traffic 24/7 because its a main road & when we arrived at 530pm all windows were still open, room was really cold.

Pros. Cheap. Central location. Comfy bed. Clean enough. Last minute booking for an overnight stay. We were delayed on the road & called ahead. They waited 90mins past the final check in time for us, very kind.

Staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean. The shower unit could have been bigger, but that’s me personally, the only bad item was the heater was loose and coming away from the wall
