We stayed overnight at Birches Motel as we had an early international flight out the next morning. The motel is in the middle of Reno’s and upgrading the rooms but we found our room to be perfect! Clean and comfortable which was just what we needed. Would happily stay there again!
The shuttle picked us up at the airport which was great. No shuttle in the morning as we left at 5am but that was fine. Overall great overnight stay😊

Very easy place to stay one night before heading off in a hire car to drive around South Island. Only 6 minute drive from the airport.

The only issue was the security light on all night outside, shone through the curtains making the room too bright to sleep - maybe they could be on a timer to turn off at 10pm?

Close to the Airport. The owner was nice to drop us off at Jucy rental for our rental camper. I would recommend this motel if you need to fly out early on the next day

Bed was comfortable but semi circular recessed into the wall. The bath shower was in the corner of the room with partial height glass brick wall. Steamed the room up no privacy
No comfortable seating. Not a good vibe

Specifically booked this motel for shuttle to the airport only to be told it dosent operate until 9am. Also booked a room with a spa bath only it didnt work. Very poor experience in every aspect. Room smelled like smoke and not clean. Would never stay here again

Very handy for the airport

This was a quick overnight trip and the motel was fine. The patio was extremely private, which I appreciated, and the bed was comfortable. I'd say the furniture / cabinetry was quite tired and could do with a refurb but overall the experience was acceptable. Would I consider returning? Yes.

On the positive side , my room was clean and neat.
The establishment was quiet even though it was fully booked.
I was disappointed that the office was closed during office hours on Saturday morning when I needed some assistance to arrange transport.
Overall though a happy client

Good quiet and clean facility within easy location of airport. Unfortunately had thought there would be a shuttle service, but hadn’t realised this was only after 9 am and not at 3.30 am when we had to leave. However taxi service was on time.

Quiet and comfortable

I arrived a day early for an organized trip and this was a great place to start. It's close to the airport with a shuttle that picked me up. It's quiet and comfortable with an option for breakfast at about $6 US.
