The owner was very helpful and gave us a map with many destinations and great advice. We found the location excellent to walk to dining, shopping and sites. I would stay there again!

Quiet
The room was generally good but it did have a really odd smell - like farm animals? - and the upstairs bedroom was a bit annoying if you needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. On the upside the rooms were quiet and dark and parking was convenient.

Perfect stay in Christchurch.
Our flight was delayed, but the team did such an incredible job accommodating, to the extent of ensuring the electric blankets were on, and the place was ready for us to feel comfortable as quickly as possible. Thankfully we found this spot, so close to many things downtown as well as in such good condition.

Great modern motel that is quite walkable to the town center. The parking area is a bit tight, but that is really the only issue. I would definitely stay there again and would be happy to recommend it to friends.

We had a nice stay at Colombo in the City Heating was very good . We were kept nice and warm in the room even though it was very cold and didnt even need the heater at night. Convenient location and friendly staff. Going back to stay another two nights after our South Island tour.

Well maintained property, about 10-15min walk into the city. Easy parking on site. We were upstairs and there were a lot of stairs to the bedroom which could be difficult for some.

Henrietta is an excellent host, it was very cold when I was in CHC, Henrietta had put the heater and the electric blanket on in my room, a very nice warm and thoughtful welcome after a cold day out. Very clean and well presented property in quiet but central location.

We loved the apartment. It was warm & clean it was and it was so quiet which we really liked. The office lady & cleaning ladies were lovely & friendly. We loved how they were so accommodating to us. The only thing we found was that the dryer down in the laundry didn't dry our clothes so we had to find a laundromat to dry them. Other than that we will definitely book here again.

Enjoyable Stay
Good location of motel which is about 10 minute walk into the city centre. Rooms are a good size and in good condition. The only real downside was that the wifi signal could be a bit weak at times. Overall i would stay here again.

Tidy motel and in city area. The room we chose online wasn’t quite small child friendly but they happily moved us to a ground floor room when requested which was great. Would be happy to stay again 😊

We checked in in a breeze. The owner or staff (a mature man) checked us in. We were able to park our car easily within the place. The room was clean and laundry room (which you have to pay $2 for washer and $2 for dryer) was functioning well. Bed was comfortable too. The restaurants and shopping area was near, about 15 mins walk. Highly recommended. Thanks to the lady and the man for attending to our requests and guiding us to our room.
