lean Motel in Christchurch
We loved our stay at the Coachman Motel in Christchurch! The room was immaculate, the res ice was great, and we were within walking distance of several eateries. They upgraded us to a larger room and our bed was very comfortable with a heated mattress. We would highly recommend the Coachman Motel when in the Christchurch area.

We recently stayed at the Coachman motel Christchurch... we found the staff to be very friendly people, on viewing the motel we found the recently refurbished living area was very pleasant and the beds were very comfortable with quality bedding :) how ever the shower was mouldy in places and the shower head would fall off when trying to adjust the level, also the plug to use the hair dryer was no where by the only mirror which made styling difficult. The patio area was not inviting to sit outside with rusty tables and chairs, un mowed lawns and garden not maintained. We were also very dissapointed discount with our nz super gold card could not be given due to booking through Expedia. We wish the management a happy new year but will not be staying in the future.
