If you are searching for short term accommodation in or around Christchurch, then renting a motel room may be a viable option for you. Motels are frequently located on main travel routes, on the outskirts of urban areas, and are easy to find. They offer the prospect of uncomplicated overnight accommodation. Many motels offer studios and apartments. The stay is possible in 1, 2 or 3 rooms, with own bathroom, refrigerator (with the standard mini-bar), TV (usually with sky channels) and sometimes basic kitchen facilities, and if you are very lucky a spa-pool. Some motels also have restaurants and swimming pools. Prices depend on the season, and rooms can be rented for one night or more. For your peace of mind, we recommend that you book in advance.
