    More coffee and sugar sachets (lol). Overall nothing to complain about. I was out and about most of the time so really only showered and slept there.

    The apartment was clean and cozy, with the heat pump making you forget about the cold outside.

    It was slightly hard to get to at first, but once we got our bearings, it was fine. Slight traffic noise but it didn't hinder our sleep.

    Great room configuration. Comfortable beds. Great location.

    There is no rangehood over stove. Needed to open windows. There is no extractor fan in the bathroom. No visible smoke detectors sighted. Unit a bit dated. It was functional for our family.

    Motel was in excellent location to explore Christchurch. Close to Botanic Gardens, Westfield & main roads. Cooking facilities helped save money on eating out. It was warm & comfortable. Staff friendly & helpful.

    Comfortable bed and an extremely well-equipped kitchen, but a 5G tower right outside.
    • Leisure trip

    • One-Bedroom Family Apartment
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The 5G tower parked right opposite the building is the only reason I would not return here. I felt jittery and on edge the entire time we were in the apartment, struggled to sleep, had a mild but constant headache and sinus congestion. I am exhausted now that we're back home. It seems that all of Christchurch is covered in 5G towers every few hundred metres, as we could see one or more of the horrid things pretty much anywhere we were in the city. I can't imagine there will be many healthy people left in town with this much EMF radiation going on all the time.

    A nice apartment with a very comfortable bed and an extremely well-equipped kitchen. Very clean and secure. The manager was very friendly and helpful.
