Brilliant and awesome. My wife Colleen and I and Colleen’s two sisters had an awesome six nights in Christchurch, staying at the Colombo in the city motel. The unit was spotless and was serviced daily. Beds were comfortable, and a very comfortable leather lounge suite the owners were very helpful with everything we asked for. Must say was the best experience Colleen and I ever had staying at a motel. We are all gold card holders so stayed in a lot of motels in our travels.

Service above and beyond Large room that was very clean. The managers were friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They even squeezed an extra bed into a double room to make it work for us. This is an outstanding motel in a very central location and offers great value. Definately recommended if you are wanting a motel walking distance to town.

City Break We were very pleased with this roomy accommodation so close to the city. We asked for a room with a bath and they were very accommodating. The room was serviced daily to a very high standard. 15 mins walk to the centre of town and great easy off-street parking.

Spacious, clean, full kitchen surprise in Christchurch ☺ This was a great surprise. The room was extra large with a king bed, a single bed, two large armchairs, a round table and 2 chairs and a fully operational kitchen with all the utensils you’d ever need. When booking a Motel (as opposed to Hotel or even an Airbnb) I was expecting a standard small room with an ugly door. This place has a beautiful, wide sliding glass door with a small flower arrangement in front and a couple of chairs outside it if you cared to sit there. Plus all the goodies inside. Great option. 10-15min walk to downtown. Easy.

Such a lovely place to stay in Christchurch! ☺ A really lolely place to stay in Christchurch! The location is great, the staff were very thoughtful and the room was super confortable! We enjoyed it a lot! ☹ The room was a little bit cold even with the heater on, especially the bathroom. But the bed heaters did the trick!
