Family owned by a very nice couple that are on site. The room was very modern and not the normal hotel room layout. It was very clean all around. They had a booklet in the room that offered discounts at some of the surrounding food spots. We used 2 free drink cards from that at RR down the street. Parking is right out front of the rooms. The location is very central and walking distance to a small mall. There are several eateries offering mostly Asian eats but some of everything else too. The hot tub jacuzzi in the bathroom was nice to have. We would highly recommend this place to stay. Nicest so far on our NZ trip.

New Zealand lodging at its best!

It was a great experience-- we were welcomed by lovely owners who went out of their way to accommodate our requests and provide information. Conveniently located near wonderful restaurants recommended by the owners and had a fabulous meal. The room was very clean-- and by my standards, that is saying something! Would highly recommend.

Very clean and comfortable rooms with facilities even to do a simple meal in the microwave. Shower is super. Very pleasant property run with lots of care and interest given by kind lady and gent. Wi-Fi very good fast and uninterrupted. Lots of eating places near by in walking distance. Ideal for people like us who get long flights from abroad to Christchurch to relax before tour around the country. Highly recommend.
