Northwood Motor Lodge is a 4-star motel on the edge of Christchurch, only 5 mi from the airport. The motel offers modern, air-conditioned accommodations with free Wi-Fi.

Highly recommend staying at this lovely hotel for the owners alone, who were some of the most friendly people (and cats) I've met! The room was spacious and clean, and being very close to the Christchurch airport made it the ideal location to stay at for an early morning flight. The owners also provide free airport transportation within the given times (paid if done outside the given times), which was a great perk that we didn't personally partake in this time but will be considering when staying over next time.

Located in Christchurch, within 3.3 miles of Canterbury Museum and 3.5 miles of Christchurch Art Gallery, V Motel provides accommodations with a terrace and free WiFi throughout the property as well...

Large unit and good bed, the shower size was great and the tiles were nice. I loved the coffee table which converted into a dinner table, such a good idea. The balcony was nice and even being close to the road there was minimal road noise.

This was our first stop when landing in NZ and we did not look anywhere else when returning to Christchurch for our flight to Auckland. Loved our breakfast patio, the hosts were great and location near park was ideal. Highly recommended.

    The owners were very friendly and helpful, very quick to pick up the phone when we ran into a challenge and doing their best to help. The apartment was lovely; modern, warm and spacious, with views of Hagley Park and good wifi. There is no onsite car park but plenty of free parking available on the road, and usually close to the entrance.

    We mainly chose Airport Gateway Motor Lodge because we were on a flight the next day and the motel provided shuttle service to the nearby airport. All rooms had kitchenette and living room so it was very comfortable, except for the very weird doors. We had a wonderful dinner in the very popular adjoining restaurant that night and that was definitely a plus.

    The rooms and kitchen were very clean. The owners were friendly and helpful. We felt very comfortable staying at the Casino Court Motor Lodge. It was very easy getting into the centre of Christchurch with bus stops outside the motel. And if you are up to it, it is a nice walk to Hagley Park and into Christchurch.

    Free parking available at the motel premises. There is a mall right across the street and plenty of shops within walking distance. The room is cosy and comes with a small kitchen for us to heat some meals. Convenient check-out by simply dropping the key into a Key Box. There is a common laundry for guest to use at a very small fee ($1~$4 if I'm not mistaken).

    Samhil Motor Lodge was in an excellent location being close to Hagley Park and the CBD. It meant we could park our car and walk into the city to explore Christchurch. It was also close to restaurants. The room was comfortable and clean with good wifi. We took our own breakfast and the motel had all we needed to prepare meals. We were greatly warmly when we arrived and were given milk for our drinks. A good value stay.
