My family of 7 arrived in Christchurch at midnight; and we called Airways motel's free call number to arrange for the free pickup from the airport to the motel (we've already made airport pick-up request upon booking). 10 minutes later, the shuttle arrived. The driver dropped us in front of the townhouse, and let my family to enter the room... More

Excellent. Good Shuttle service. Nice staff. Particularly good if you have a really early start. Clean, functional rooms. Nothing spectacular but they are great for the cost and location. The shuttle service is excellent.

These guys are great - treated me like a long lost friend and couldn't do enough for me. Shuttle at my beck and call to and from the airport, room was good and FREE WIFI! Practically no-one does free wifi, it was worth it just for that. Keep up the good work guys :o)

Some places just seem better because of the owners attitude. This is one of them. Garreth thoroughly enjoys his work and it shows. Nothing was a bother and he suggested places for dinner and organized pick ups to the venues as well as collection to the airport. I have no hesitation in recommending this to you.

Great location - 5 minutes from the airport. Owner is a great guy - a bit rough around the edges but very sincere and will definitely oblige most requests. Room was very clean - he also allowed us to check in early which is a great bonus instead of having to lug your gear around. I would definitely recommend this... More

We have just returned from Christchurch, after attending a wedding. We choose to stay at this motel as it was conveiently located to the bride & grooms place and as my husband was in the wedding party, was the perfect location. On arrival the manager was more than helpful but found the room to be quite musty smelling, although after... More

Pick up from the airport was prompt. The room is very small, but hey it was just overnight. The staff were very pleasant and arranged for our car hire company to pick us up from the motel. People were arriving and leaving at all hours so expect a bit of noise, not the motels fault but wish some people could... More

The location is good, the rooms clean and nicely presented but the staff let the whole motel down. The lady who provided the transfer belittled our children. I was astounded at how rude she was to them. Not a great introduction to Christchurch. The man who did the checking out procedure wasn't very endearing either. Also organising the promised transfer... More

Not the cheapest but a nice little place close to airport. We arrived at 00:30 midnight and they happily came to pick us up. Place is small, but clean. Has a kitchenette. When we were there it was rather hot and we coudnt find the A/C. Windows can be opened but there is no flyscreen, so bugs do get in.... More
