Guest rooms at the motel are fitted with a seating area. Every room comes with a kettle and a private bathroom, while selected rooms also offer a kitchenette.

Bed comfy and plenty of hot water. John, the owner, even left us cookies and milk - which were delicious. Motel is in a quiet area just on outskirts of Geraldine.

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. The Cottage is a lovely and cosy place where you're warmly welcomed. If you love jam then you will definitely enjoy the breakfast with many different kinds, as well as cereals, fruit and toast. Different kinds of coffee will be prepared just for you. Apart from having good chats around the house my girlfriend could also have her breakfast in our room when she unfortunately got sick after our flight to New Zealand, which was great. We would come back any time if we're about to return to Christchurch!
