Staying at this motel made my trip so much fun. It was the perfect base for my travels

"First of all, the two managers were incredibly welcoming and their quick responses gave me great peace of mind. The location is excellent, and I felt very safe with the gates closed at night. With free parking available on-site, it’s a wonderful motel that can accommodate any travel plans."

Heel goede overnachting gehad, vriendelijk onthaald door de gastheer, begeleid naar de ruime kamer. Voordeel dat de slaapkamer afgezonderd is van de kitchenette, alles netjes verzorgd. Alles was aanwezig voor een goed verblijf. De volgende ochtend een vriendelijke vaarwel gekregen van de gastvrouw. Aanrader als je Christchurch bezoekt, op wandelafstand van de meeste bezienswaardigheden. Die het gastkoppel met veel plezier toelicht.
