Fantastic motel room. Thoughtfully designed, lovely colours. Great shower and bathroom. Everything immaculately clean. Private back patio area with chairs and a table. Fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee/tea. Very quiet at night and a 2 minute walk from the bakery and supermarket. Easy to get in with key pick up from coded lockbox. We were here for a 1 night stop over between Cardrona and Christchurch. Highly recommended.
