Waikari Holidays

I stayed here for 4 days and I can't speak highly enough of this motel the staff and owners were so friendly and helpful. The motel is centrally situated to almost every holiday highlight you want to see in Christchurch also so many restaurants and fast food outlets.

Great property.. Great location..

The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. However, the main reason I chose this hotel was for the rooftop bar and restaurant, only to find it's closed on Sunday and Monday nights. I also paid $53 for breakfast (for two) because of the great reviews from others. However, the restaurant was closed for the public holiday, so instead we were given a voucher to have breakfast at Ibis, only a 2 min walk away. Unfortunately, the food and drink were awful, and the staff unhelpful. If I'd known the standard would be so poor, I'd have asked for a refund instead.

We were upgraded which was very unexpected but was very appreciated. It made our stay special. We loved everything about the hotel and the staff were particularly courteous and helpful. The restaurant was particularly great value and wonderful quality. There was ample parking and the location was ideal. Very quiet and peaceful.

The host was very welcoming, room was clean and tidy, with all the amenities we needed for our stay. Nice quiet location with good off street parking. Very handy to nearby supermarket and within a close proximity to the places we went to.
