Although wouldn’t let us stay 30min longer in morning, which was abit of a disappointment as my daughter was really tired, as we had been to a concert the night b4.

Unfortunately, on checking in, we found that the room we had booked was supposed to have a spa bath, as shown in photos. However, staff was very courteous and offered to swap the room subject to our inspection. Took the room with spa bath, but it was not a good bath. Pressure very low. Also, the carton of milk in the fridge had been opened. Otherwise, clean & tidy.

The unit was excellent but the when we arrived and I asked if he wanted the Expedia booking reference he rambled on about ‘fat cats in America’ taking money offshore and that it’s better to look up the price on there and then to call the motel direct (to cut out the middle man).

Was unimpressed to be lecture us like this? if you want to advertise on their platform accept get they take a commission and don’t try to circumvent the process that brought the customer to you.

We recently stayed at the Riccarton Motor Lodge for only one night before we left for our road trip round the South Island. The room was clean and the kitchenette appeared to have all that was needed. We had a second floor room at the front and there was some road traffic so I suggest you ask for a room towards the rear of the property. Reception staff was friendly and provided some useful information. There is parking on site. The Lodge is up the road from a Westfields and there are a number of cafes and restaurants close by. My other piece of advice is don’t forget to draw the door curtain or you will have light coming in all night.

Nice and easy Motel.

This Motel had most of the comforts of home. Just a touch on the smaller size, but still ok. Parking ok, location ok too, but a bit far he you want to walk to the Riccarton mall. I have stayed here before and Happy to stay again if required.

My family of 5 adults stayed in a 2 bed 1 bath apartment on the Ist floor (ground 1). Since there are only 2 floors ( ground, first), there are no elevators, so we had to carry our large bags up the stairs. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful and helped us carry the bags. The rooms were very comfortable, all.amenities were good. The check in/check out was simple too. We found a kerala cuisine \"pothichor\" at a 3 minute walk and were elated. The airport is about 20 minute drive from here. There is a westfield mall at a 25 minute walk. There is a bus stop rignt in front and can be used to go to the city. Westfield mall.is one stop away. This location is away from the city so we took multiple ubers. Didnt know that NZ does not have uber XL for five people. They only have uber for 4 people. Also the buses do not accept credit card, need to buy the transport card.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at riccarton and would definitely consider booking them for a future trip.

Main living area was very small and more suited to a maximum of 2 people. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was OK with basic necessities. Sofa in living area was quite uncomfortable. Overall not a bad place to stay, but nothing outstanding about it.

The owners went the extra mile to fit us in for another night at late notice, and helped us find accommodation at the neighbouring property when they were full.

Helpful staff, clean property. Good location - right by a number of bus routes into the city and to the airport, close to uni and shops - although this means it can be a little noisy for the front units.

Riccarton Motor Lodge again

As per on other stays the Riccarton Motor Lodge is the best. Great hostess and host. Staff always pleasant and say hi. Lovely big room. one point we did think great was the TV as in some motels we stayed in we have had trouble but the tv was explained by a leaflet circling what you touch and where. Comfy bed, great shower, facilities great.

We didn’t arrive until after 1am due to plane cancellations and delays. Greg was great with his communication with us throughout the day and gave us clear instructions to get our room key and made the room toasty warm for our arrival. It was so appreciated!
The room was clean and tidy, the beds and pillows comfy and early check out was super easy. We would stay here again.
