Andorra Motel is situated on 1 acre of peaceful, spacious grounds in a quiet and relaxed garden setting. Free WiFi is provided.

All rooms include a flat-screen TV, a lounge area to relax in after a busy day and a kitchen including tea and coffee-making facilities. The rooms come with a private bathroom equipped with a shower. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and a hairdryer. Hands down - from a guy who slept at more than 1000 different hotels. This is the best one. Ever. Sally and the staff there made an unbelievable effort to make this a fantastic stay. All the details were right: from providing a late check in to everything detail in the room - towels folded in a nice way, clean room, unique flair, great kitchen and such friendly staff - we would come back anytime. Loved it.

In the Sydenham district of Christchurch, close to Academy Of New Zealand, Designer Cottage has a garden and a washing machine. This 3-star bed and breakfast offers luggage storage space and a housekeeping service. The rooms have a terrace with quiet street views and free WiFi. Abselutely wonderful stay. Very welcoming and helpful hosts. Nice breakfast served at one big table so that one gets to talk to the other guests about travelling in NZ and what is going on around the world. Clean and nicely decorated room. On the outskirts of citycenter which we liked. It’s a 20-30 min walk to the citycenter but there’s many restaurants and take away oportunities a few minutes walk away.

Just 3 minutes’ drive from Lake Benmore, Ahuriri Motels features a barbecue area with outdoor seating and lovely mountain views. A flat-screen TV and a microwave are standard in all rooms. Guests receive 250MB of free WiFi, and free on site parking. Loved that the staff were quick thinking enough to leave our room keys in an envelope outside the office to allow us to check in late. This was really kind of them and I highly recommend Ahuriri solely based on this experience. The room itself was clean and perfect for one night's stay.
