Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    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.
