Reviewed By GayleNoel

Hubby and I are at the end of a 3 month road trip and have spent 11 weeks in the south island staying in motels. This one has to be the best. Very, very clean, hob plus oven!! Has the most cooking pots pans etc that we have had anywhere. Air con/ heater. Across road from supermarket. What more could you want. Certainly lovely to stay in. Pity we were only here for one night.

Brilliant

Reviewed By devonroamer

We were very lucky to have booked this motel, Sally the owner was very helpful in sending some valuables we left in the room. Sterling service. We had room 7, excellent with a little garden we sat out and ate in. The kitchen facilities were more than adequate and more than most motels we stayed in. Great bed, good shower. What's not to like.

Visiting Family Over Christmas/NY

Reviewed By MaggieKiwi

I had a wonderful stay at the Lilybrook Motel over Christmas and the New Year. Excellent service, quiet, nice room. Handy to shops, very friendly, helpful people. I visited my family daily and went into Christchurch a few times while there. Could not find fault with my motel or the owners. I will stay there next time I stay in South Island.

Good surfing beaches are nearby, and in the winter, several ski fields are less then a 2 hour’s drive away. Golfers have many choices… from good, 18-hole club options to more demanding Championship level courses. Rangiora itself has an eclectic mix of retailers – from high street chains to numerous boutique outlets and numerous cafés. A super museum, detailing the early history of Rangiora and the local district, is open on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons. Dining options abound in Rangiora and neighbouring Kaiapoi and Mandeville North. Taxi and shuttle services, if required, are best booked in advance and Riverstone Motel can provide details.

With the enhanced northern motorway and road network, the motel is only 20 minutes from Christchurch International Airport and 30 minutes to the Christchurch CBD.

Lots of space - more than a normal motel

Reviewed By kaueli2

We stayed for one night in the large four room unit. We were able to sleep 2 couples and three singles in four rooms each with an en suite. The unit was very clean and well appointed. Furnishings were modern and comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us. Booking was a breeze, and while the check-in was remote, it was personalised with clear directions to the room. As it was the owner came out to greet us which was lovely. We had an extra car which was able to parked on site and ate at the restaurant next door. We would definitely stay here again - and would recommend the large unit.

We originally booked in for 2 nights, now we knew check in was before 8pm and we were running excessively late so rung ahead to see what the go would be expecting to be told nothing could be done. Lewis the awesome human you'll see he is, opened our room turned the heater on and left the key out for us. Arriving at 3am on a bloody chilly night and being greated by the warmth that was our apartment room was nothing short of heaven. Our original 2 nights turned into another and then another and then another, without a worry Lewis rebooked us each one of those nights even though the complex was full and we were sure we'd be told exactly that. Our room was clean spacious and completely comfortable. We were offered new amenities every day and a cleaner with a bright smile asked us if we wanted our room cleaned on each aswell. I can't say enough good words about the running of this motel and it's staff. Thank you Lewis and team for a wonderful stay, each one of you are amazing and I hope many good things come your way for your kindness, hospitality and genuine good nature. Andy & Peanuts :)

As Kaiapoi’s only motel, we look forward to making your stay as comfortable as possible. Courtyard We are on the main street coming into Kaiapoi from the south and close to all local amenities as well as being close to Christchurch. This means you can enjoy the peace and quiet of Kaiapoi, but know you’re not far from the many attractions throughout Christchurch and the Canterbury region. Just 20 minutes north from central Christchurch and 15 minutes from the Christchurch International Airport. We have six modern, self contained quality studio units and one 2 bedroom house. Our units are north facing for all day sun.
