If you are looking for a place next to the train station, this would be perfect. Not big but has all the commodities you need and decent shower with good pressure. Bed are good. Staff really nice they waited for us almost 2 hours after check-in finish ( our train had issues and we were delayed arriving) we kept them informed and they were awesome.

A very central property for an overnight stay in Christchurch. The motel is very clean and tidy, you can tell the owners take pride in the property. I was impressed at the thoughtful touches that are in the unit. The lady who greeted me at reception was so helpful and friendly. I found the bathroom was well laid out and the shower had good pressure. The only negative for me was the very firm bed but that is a personal preference.
