Strathern Motor Lodge

Stayed for 1 night. Location is great. Close to all amenities and city center. Owner greeted me - not overly welcoming however there was a young woman who was tending the many pot plants and was very welcoming. Room was lovely and clean. Loved the hand and body lotion. If I had read the compendium earlier I would have purchased a bottle from reception. Unfortunately reception wasn't open when I left at 7am.

No complaints or suggestions for improvement.

Check-in was very welcoming. Location is great. Cheap Uber to/from town, and easy flat walk to Merryvale shops and restaurants. Whilst on a relatively main road, its not noisy inside the unit. Kitchen has everything required. Restocked supplies and towels nearly everyday, tho we didn't ask for that service. Unit 7 is lovely and sunny in the afternoon and we parked right outside our door.

The decor in Unit 7 is dated - the couch is well worn! We noted on website one has been refurbished, hopefully that continues to others.

Clean comfortable. Spacious. All kitchen facilities are clean and new. Has a expresso machine, clean hand towels etc. Absolutely 👌.

I thought the facility had induction stoves but they had a electric fry pan which did the same job. Just got surprised which may have been my misunderstanding. Just a feedback on clarity. Though nothing taken from a great place to stay.

The room and bathroom were nice and clean which was excellent. The beds were comfy, range of TV channels for the kids was great of an evening. It's within around 20-25 minutes walking distance of the Canterbury museum and tram stops, and not far from Hagley park for a nice walk. We were also on the side away from the road so it was peaceful. Would definitely stay again.

Only downside really was the space for turning the car on the side we were, if there were no other cars it was fine but if the spaces were full it is quite difficult to turn.

Large upstairs room with comfortable furnishings and the largest of flat screen TVs to relax after work and watch a good sky movie on... Exceptionally clean, with good choice of toiletries...

Nothing to note...

The unit contained everything we needed for a 3 night stay. It had been freshly refurbished & was tidy & spotless. Great having a seperate bedroom & enjoyed the free Nescafé coffee & machine. So close to town & the bus stops right outside for a 10 minute ride to the centre. Highly recommended.

The bed was a bit uncomfortable for my tastes & I prefer another option than a winter weight duvet.

It's our favorite accommodation in Christchurch and I think of booking here each time when we come to Christchurch. I like the furnitures and amenities. The kitchenette has good range of Kitchenware. Staff are always friendly and kind.

Aircon was needing to be fixed and it was hard to get warm. Thank you to the staff lending us an oil heater, it took a while but got warm in the end. The bed mattress sank too much for our liking.

Good location. I was close to pubs, fuel station, and bottle store. Shopping and supermarket a wee bit further down the road. We got a free upgrade. So, super happy! Generous with coffee supplies 😊 Staff were friendly, and the room was spacious and clean.

we liked everything. the owners were fantastic, location was great, it was very clean and tidy. I loved the new decor, really modernised the unit. When we arrived on dark and opened our door we were greeted with a lovely warm unit. 😀😀. we have just come back from up north and stayed at different motels which were all cold and some without extra bedding. admittedly, you wouldn’t expect the weather to be as it was but that should have been covered.

N/A

I booked for 2 bedrooms and was told on arrival after a l;ong trip that that would cost 3 times the one bedroom rate ...so ended up on the fold out couch...in the lounge. This was fine but unexpected.
