Clean, modern, value for money. ”
I cannot say enough about this motel! We loved it. Super clean. Modern. Crisp white sheets. We booked a 2 bedroom unit (one couple & me) and were surprised by how reasonable the rates were. I don't do reviews, unless I'm extremely pleased with a service. Highly recommend.

Great place”
My partner and I spent a night at the Strathern Motor Lodge prior to our appt at the hospital. In addition to it being well situated, it was super clean, quiet, affordable and the staff were very welcoming. We’ll definitely return in the future.

Cleanest motel in Christchurch”
Cleanest motel every day, quiet and great beds to sleep in. Probably could do with a refurb but was very comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay!”
I've stayed at the Strathern Motor Lodge a couple of times. It's a great place to stay. It's in a convenient location to the hospital and to the city centre and it's affordable accommodation . Yes, it's a bit dated but is very clean which, to me, is vastly more important. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Cozy and clean”
We stayed with a toddler (9 months) and that worked great. The room was clean and we had what we needed. Staff were nice and it was a calm area. It was great to be able to wash clothes in the guest laundry (for a cost). The one thing I remember was that the doors squeaked so a good thing would be to fix that. Besides that we were super happy with the place.

Great for Locals, OK for Overseas Travellers”
We had stayed at 4 different locations prior to arriving at Strathern for the final leg. 8 days. Our stops were 3-8 days of similar value and allowed us to compare. In short, if I was a Kiwi, Strathern would be just fine. Good: Value for money if you're local Friendly staff and always available, apartment cleaned every day, quite close to food outlets and Merivale mall. Not so Good: Wi-Fi was atrocious. Previous places we stayed at had 100Mbps free Wi-Fi. This lodge, the Wi-Fi might last 1-5 mins with speeds of around 1-2Mbps. There were 3 of us (iPhone X, iPhone 8 and Samsung S9) and we struggled to even get maps to work to find our way around. We ended up paying for Travel packs to cover our data usage. Bring along your own shampoo, cream and soap. The May Chang products don't work well with the Hard Water. Also the lemon grass smell is overpowering and is the major ingredient in all their products. Dated. Shower cubicle had some grubby spots. Shower head 1.65m from the floor.

Very good”
Motel is 30 years old. Needs a good do up to bring up to date.All the garbage bins needs to be hidden at the back intead on frontal view. This is unexceptable to view all day long..Pricewise of good value..

Absolutely fabulous weekend break”
We were visiting family in Christchurch for the weekend ( with our two small dogs) and wanted to be independent. Have stayed at Strathern Motor Lodge in the past and found it a relaxing experience. So I looked on Agoda and got an awesome price for the honeymoon suite. Well, what can I say? Nicely decorated, black out curtains, extremely comfortable huge bed, very clean, fabulous spa bath. Was great to have a coffee pod machine and sit outside in the evening sun. Despite being on Papanui Road, there was no road noise at all .....very quiet. . Thank you so much. We will return..

Michelle, the perfect receptionist, at Strathern Motor Lodge.”
Very clean and comfortable Motor Lodge, Michelle at reception is extremely professional and helpful, she could certainly teach other receptionists what customer service is all about, greatly appreciate that the heating had been turned on before our arrival, was warm and cosy.

Better than expected ”
Our first time in Christchurch, also first time staying in a place other than hotel. We actually liked it better than a hotel. The building might be old, but very well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay there. Thanks for the hospitality.
