Nice outdoor area No where to put anything in the bathroom.
Wasn’t a problem for one person for one night but if there had been two of us for longer we would have had our toiletries stored in the floor which is less than ideal as the water from the shower spreads quite a way.

- Guy (8/5): -
- Sabrina Florencia (10/5): Will be back for sure! - Loved the property, it had everything we needed . It was renovated so everything was excellent! The fact that the fan in the bathroom turns on everytime someone goes to the bathroom and is not ideal at night.
- Annette (9/5): -

- Adam (10/5): Excellent! - Lovely room with modern bathroom. Everything you'd expect and need. Quiet at night considering the location, and a short walk to the Riccarton mall.

Comfortable and great location
- Trish (8/5): - Good location close to everything needed.
Friendly manager most accommodating.
Laundry service open till 9pm.fantastic.
Great rooms
Good kitchenette No space for toileries to be left in the bathroom. Maybe a soap dispenser in the shower for the bodywashes rather than on the small glass shelf. (Would save getting water all over) there seemed to be enough space for a small stand in the bathroom under the small glass shelf. Thsi is not a negative.
- Rakesh (9/5): Lovely accomodation -
- Sarah (10/5): Perfect space for a short stay, comfy, super clean, welcoming. Thank you for a lovely stay - Great location, close to the university and shops, compact, super clean, comfortable. We had the two bedroom apartment with two teens. Very welcoming. Slept like a log. Had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Lounge space was very small and table for 2 only. But it was still really great and we will stay again.
- Bruce (10/5): - The unit was excellent but the when we arrived and I asked if he wanted the Expedia booking reference he rambled on about ‘fat cats in America’ taking money offshore and that it’s better to look up the price on there and then to call the motel direct (to cut out the middle man).
Was unimpressed to be lecture us like this? if you want to advertise on their platform accept get they take a commission and don’t try to circumvent the process that brought the customer to you.
- Lucy (8/5): great stay apart from WiFi - clean, good location, friendly , helpful staff WiFi didn’t work

There is no lift to the first floor, but the reception is kindly help me to carry my suitcase down.
Close to the bus stops and plenty of busses on Riccarton Rd to many different destinations.
Happy to stay there.
- McKenzo (6/5): Don't forget the door curtain - We recently stayed at the Riccarton Motor Lodge for only one night before we left for our road trip round the South Island. The room was clean and the kitchenette appeared to have all that was needed. We had a second floor room at the front and there was some road traffic so I suggest you ask for a room towards the rear of the property. Reception staff was friendly and provided some useful information. The Lodge is up the road from a Westfields and there are a number of cafes and restaurants close by. My other piece of advice is don’t forget to draw the door curtain or you will have light coming in all night.
