Motels in Canterbury, New Zealand

A cute chalet in the town centre. Nearby the petrol station n also grocery store. Internet connection has been good. Has a small kitchen with stove, microwave for cooking. Cooking utensils are provided. Pls take note not to cook anything that has a strong smell in nature. Has a tv set n a sofa set n a dining table. Overall, satisfied with the chalet, although bathroom us a bit small.

The hotel is centrally located, not very expensive at price - it also corresponds to quality. The reception times are very unfavorable and are not respected. As we were following the CHC only in the afternoon, we wanted to leave the baggage at the hotel. In the early evening we asked when and whether we could deliver the baggage. The early time (from the motel view) is to wait for the opening of the reception at 9:30. On the check-out day we waited just half ten before the reception and we found that the reception was still closed and the staff were not even entered the building.. We have to wait before closed doors until 09:45. When we (And the employees!) were finally entered, we could only deliver under baggage in half an hour... thus we are swept the remaining time in CHC.. We wouldn't come here anymore!

The hotel facilities are better than ordinary motels and better than ordinary budget hotels. There are cutlery, plates and a microwave kettle in the room for simple cooking. The view from the hotel is great. Watching the sunset over Mount Cook from the hotel is very beautiful. Parking/driving is right outside the room door, which is also very convenient. The only drawback is that the hotel seems to have central heating and you can't turn on the air conditioning yourself.

Room was very comfortable and clean. good facilities. TV was amazing. Lots to choose from on it. Microwave for cooking supplied. Fridge also. Washing facilities if required and all Free! Staff were amazing. So very accommodating. Listening to all your needs and running with all your requirements. Very friendly team. Beds are very comfortable. Situated within walking distance of hospital and lots of places to eat around as well. A mall is not far away. Prices to stay were excellent.

Great location, short walk to Lake Tekapo and many other eateries around. Laundry avail for use (paid and hours apply) Room was generally clean, with some rooms on 2nd floor overlooking Lake Tekapo and you'll be able to see stars at night on a cloudless day! Large garden for your kids or pets. Parking area (free for hotel guests - located at the back of the hotel) relatively small but should still get a lot. Overall a decently good stay

We arrived at the hotel around 5pm - busy time on the road, and it is a pretty busy road (though quieted down after rush hour). The hotel is in a residential area,not too far from the Arena, but not any shops/restaurants right nearby. One could walk to these places - about 20 minutes away, but I wouldn't be that keen at night even though the owner said the area was very safe. The owner got us quickly checked in. She didn't offer any milk or give us the wifi like all the other motels we've ever stayed in, but otherwise she was friendly and efficient. Our room (#10) was upstairs, about halfway back. I was a bit worried about the noise (i'm a super light sleeper), but once we were in the room it was quiet. The space is small (we had a queen bed 1bdroom?) and a bit weirdly laid out, but very clean - which was really the most important thing. There was a closet with iron/board/ extra pillows and blankets which is always great, and a tiny fridge for snacks. The bed was clean and comfy, nice and dark too with the curtains closed and door shut. The bathroom was tidy, nice to have small shampoo/conditioner, and the water pressure was spot on. We couldn't find any details in the book about wifi, we ended up going to the office and getting it as I tried calling from the room and it just kept ringing out. Don't know the issue - she was in the office. She said there was a 'white paper with the wifi code written on it' in the room - finally found it in the bedroom. Overall a good, quick 1 night stay.

We were recommended to stay, by friends, and we were not disappointed. Very clean, tidy, cosy unit for an overnight stay on our way to Christchurch. Friendly hosts, Shirley and Morgan, and our unit 12, Studio unit had everything we needed. Quiet from highway noise. You do hear the 2 trains but we love hearing them. Loved the fact that we could go out the gate at the end of the property and walk onto the beautiful, pounding surf beach. Sunrise the next morning, with snow on the mountains, was stunning. We will be back.

Excellent place to stay & more like a hotel than motel. Very friendly and helpful staff, well-organised and made us feel welcome from the get-go which is always a great start to a holiday. Spacious room, all amenities provided - iron + board, hair dryer, kettle + tea, coffee, cocoa, sugar, air conditioning, satellite t.v., comfortable recliners, cutlery and so-forth. Very comfortable and large bed, lots of drawers etc. to store belongings. Even the bath had water jets! Cleaned well every morning. All ran like clockwork. Would most definitely recommend this location for all of the above and location - is a short walk into town and the airport bus is literally around the corner.

The manager Sourab was very welcoming helpful and generous. He had helpful information about the town and eateries, was very kind to allow us access to a clothes drier as the motel one was having issues and generously went over and above his role to help us.. the motel was comfortable and clean close to town and the local pools and golf course, we have been here twice now and would highly recommend it. The restaurant next door also provides breakfast until 10am and midday and evening meals, the quality is good and fairly priced.

We were in town just for one night, before taking the morning train to Greymouth, We selected this hotel due to proximity to the station. It was absolutely fine-no issue with the room or amenties or check-in. The lady at reception, who may well have been the owner, could not have been more helpful with advice. She also ran us down to the station in the morning. If you need a hotel near the station, this is a great choice.

Beautiful and quiet courtyard, complete kitchen facilities, and convenient living around. Especially the Korean bosses are warm and kind and responsible for their work. One day, my husband answered the phone in the yard, accidentally put his bag on the stool in the yard and left. Our passports, ID cards and other important things were all inside. Twenty minutes later, we found out that the bag was gone, and we were in a hurry. When the domestic epidemic was tense and international flights were cancelled again, we would be unable to move without a passport. We told the Korean boss about this, he asked about the situation, let us not worry. Ten minutes later, he delivered the bag to our room. There were a lot of passports and cash in the bag. We are very fortunate to book this hotel, and met this honest and kind Korean owner, who is away from home, this hotel is trustworthy. Call the owner!

Perfect stay at a perfect price. Rooms and linen are very clean. Hospitable and friendly service with a smile. Close to the centre and very easy walk to the CBD. Facilities are clean and there are no maintenance issues. Kitchenette is perfect for what we needed. All the sports channels on the TV and the bed was very comfy. The guide to the area that was left in the room was incredibly helpful. Very quiet too! Thank you Toscana and we look forward to coming back one day!

This is the second time we stayed here. We found the experience very relaxing and the hosts extremely accommodating. They went out of their way to please us and succeeded in doing so. The room we had was perfect for us. The motel itself is probably a bit dated but nonetheless, comfortable, clean and tidy. The rooms are a good size and contain all that is necessary for a long or short stay. I believe there is a pool although we didn't use it. Outside the gate there is a bus stop for your convenience and a Z petrol station right next door. Plenty of eateries in walking distance. If you want a comfortable stay with very good hosts this is the place for you. Thank you so much to our hosts for all they did for us.

A very nice hostel. I only stayed in this hostel for one night but I will definitely go back there. Rooms clean, quite large and modern decor. I did not stay in a dorm room but the whole building makes such a good impression with good vibes that I would recommend it to anyone, even a solo traveler, especially the May bar where everything is reasonably priced.

We stopped here for a night travelling between Picton and Mt Cook. The Motel was on a main road and close to SH1 but set back and quiet clean and pleasant. The manager / owners were friendly, helpful and pleasant, especially after we left our radio behind. They happily arrange postage back to us after we paid the cost Would we stay again. YES - highly recommended.

Raymond and the staff made our family feel really comfortable. The facilities are clean, modern, and efficient, with everything functioning perfectly. Having plenty of places to plug electronics in and a strong wifi signal really lifted our moods after our nearby home flooded (hence the reason for a lengthy stay). The studio sufficiently accommodated two adults and a preschooler. If my house floods again, I'd be happy to book another stay, and would definitely recommend to friends and family. Great price, central location, and easy access to nearby amenities.

Wow just mind blowin how great this place is. So accommodating for all the staff are lovely, room is modern except the couch definitely needs a upgrade but that's all I can fult the bathroom floor is super slippery when wet but this is a issue even in my own home. The bath is great it's huge seams bigger than other hotels and Deep which is amazing. The building next door has really bright lights that shine through the bedroom. I'll definitely be back I didn't want to leave wish this was my house because it's great. I love how there is a separate lounge to the room and this is the first time my baby has atcually stayed asleep. Well done team you have done well and I'd say this has to be the most affordable comfortable modern accommodation in chch thanks for our stay. Can't believe there are 2 tvs as well

The motel is in walking distance to the city but far enough away to not be right in the hub. Our room was quietly tucked into the back corner so we slept very well. We asked for more milk for our 3rd day which didn’t arrive but it was a minor slip up. The linen and room was clean and bed comfortable.

Our room was most clean and comfortable with everything one could need, including emergency toothbrushes and one of us needed one:-) Very kindly the manager had put the heating on in the room for our arrival. Location is great. Please don't be put off by exterior appearance which is quite bland - lots of grey gravel. Great value and certainly recommend.

Nice motel near downtown Christchurch. Big room and in a quiet neighborhood. The Wifi was a bit poor. Not a bad place to stay.

Booked here through booking.com all was fine was going to good review until the wife came out until the second day when the wife came out and asked who the guy was leaving unit 11 as I was in my car texting so I wasn't looking where he came from I said he probably came from some from some where else she said she saw him come out of that room, she said if it happens again we will kick her out. Secondly my friend vacated the room he went in rang me and said she been smoking the room he can smell it, I said there's an outdoor area she had no reason for smoking inside plus it would of set off smoke detectors, I told him she was ripping apart used ciggerretes to make another one, he demanded for me to come back an look when I was already across town and threatened to charge me for something my friend didnt do! These owners are hostilenif you are from out of chch and ask your family or friends to visit they will question it!

We had confirmed bookings via Agoda for 2 nights at this motel, for 2 adults and our 2 young grandchilden. On attempting to check in the person in the office said we had a booking for one night only for 2 people. This person said she would not honour the bookng as she did not trust Agoda. After a very long and almost heated debate we phone agoda. They were amazing and contacted the motel while we waited on the phone. This office person would still not honour the booking even after talking to Agoda. Agoda ensured that the motel would not be charging us. Fantastic service from Agoda, but be warned, don;t ever go near Annabelle Court Motel. The person in reception should not be in the hospitality industry.

Nice and clean good location

To every one who is reading my review,this motel is a very good one to stay at,the Manager there was very helpfil.he help us out,the cleaners were very good an helpful and nices to chat to,the room was very nice an tidy,excellent accommodation,on the next visit my family an i i hope to stay back there,so any one looking for accommodation stay at the Fyffe on Riccarton Motor Lodge Christchurch ,so thanks to the people etc running the Fyffe on Riccarton Motor Lodge,they all do an excellent job,keep up the good work guys hope to be back later on next yr 2022

Good enough motel for an evening or two stay. The rooms are decent, they have a microwave and kettle with a selection of some teas and coffee. The rooms also have sky tv with a good range of channels. Very handy if you wish to visit the Riccarton Westfield mall or if you are travelling on the Trans Alpine.

I only stayed one night but it was great. Fully appointed room with everything you could want. Compact and complete with shower, toilet, kitchen, TV and wifi. Wifi and TV speed and clarity was very good and the water pressure and temperature on the shower was excellent. Would stay again. At first I thought the road was bit noisy but once I closed the small window above the bed it was nice and quiet.

I stayed 2 nights in New Zealand with my friends. The location of this motel is perfect. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, about a 10-minute walk from the Riccarton shopping centre, and bus stops are nearby, including a bus stop to the airport. Next door is Hagley Park. The motel was clean and comfortable, and the service was good. The owner was very warm and friendly and showed us the surrounding places and recommended good restaurants. Will stay again, and has already recommended this motel to others.

Excellent location with buses and mall just down the street. Very clean and good value for money. Had everything you could possibly need and spa bath a delight. Great service, and really helpful freindly staff.
