The room is very clean and has a fully functional kitchen. The motel is quite close to a big shopping mall and also a busy area with many Chinese restaurants. When I was checking in, I also got a bottle of fresh milk from the owner!

I had a lovely one night stay here and will definitely return next time when I’m in Chch. I asked to be able to stay 15 to 30 minutes longer in my room as I had someone coming to pick me up a bit later than the checkout time… They happily let me stay :)
