Great value for money, spacious and clean cottage. Well-equipped kitchenette and friendly host. Good wifi and handy location.

The breakfast option could be improved with the inclusion of place mats for the dining table.

Great service, good value and really clean. Very comfortable and would go again without doubt. Cheers

Good Location. Owner Mr. Phil is very nice friendly & considerate person. Good value for money.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cranford Cottages. The host, Niranjala, was incredibly helpful and friendly. The cottage itself was private, quiet, and well-equipped, with a kitchen area that had everything we needed. The off-street parking was convenient, and the location was close to the city center and airport, but still in a quiet part of town. The front patio area was a nice spot for smoking, with a small table and chairs. a fantastic place for a peaceful stay in Christchurch.

Do recommend this hotel.

It was quiet.

Owner kindly refunded a nights stay, but I'd rather have paid full price and got what I expected. After pre arranging an early check in - turned up to completely unserviced room from the previous customer. Had to walk around for an hour 1/4 with small child in tow, only to come in to the room looking unhoovered. Had to clean the microwave before I could use it. Ground level plug socket not secured to wall and promise of fixing it never eventuated. Broken heater in room. Had to ask for pillow case missing. Had to ask for tea/ coffee. No soap in the dispenser. Cot was not ready although was pre requested - had to ask twice before told 'i'll do my best but can't promise anything'. (I explained this to my one year old - she said she'd just wait to have a sleep then! ) Had to ask for a smoke alarm - was not put back in after a kitchen upgrade - don't blame the workers - it's your motel - check it!!!! Long dark hairs on the main bed sheets - were they changed?!?!

Warm Welcome from the helpful owner, room ready & smoking area as requested,e/mails answered fast. Book this one early as Xchurch short of motel rooms due to heartbreaking tradegy. Could not fault anything, it was spotless, very comfy bed(for the 3 hrs I slept as early A.M. flight dep.), fullsize kitchen, great power shower & loads of hot water, room heater, good tv reception/free Sky movies, close to city, bus stop at door, nothing too much trouble for them and thoroughly recommend. I can't fault it. A 1970's breezeblock -type motel but holds her age well for a 'driveup to door' motel which I need as can't do stairs due to leg injury. Absolutely no complaints, suggested to owner to update photo on site as current one didn't do it justice. Phil, I will be back when do the North of the Sth Island via route you suggested.

We loved the convenient location near Edgeware Shopping Centre and the easy access to the bus route. The privacy was great for us as foreign tourists. The staff were friendly and helpful, promptly replacing a damaged ironing board. The fully equipped kitchen and utensils made it easy for us to cook in the studio. The hot shower was a nice touch. The gas BBQ allowed us to have a lovely dinner with friends. The laundry facilities were excellent, and the hosts were accommodating to our needs.

We felt right at home at Cranford Cottages And Motel, and the staff went out of their way to ensure that nothing was too much trouble.

Manager was very friendly & obliging

No niceties - generic hand soap for use in shower & not very much of it. Only one wine glass & had to ask for milk

The owner was very helpful , unit was ver clean and tidy , the unit had all the required facilities for a comfortable over night stay. Not the newest motel on the block but all of the above makes up for the age of the units. I would go back without reservation.

Nothing springs to mind

We had a fantastic stay at a lovely self contained cottage in Christchurch. The accommodation was top-notch, with modern amenities and a comfortable bed. The warm and friendly welcome made us feel right at home. The location was great, just a short walk or drive to the city center. We also enjoyed the nearby eateries and supermarket. The small sit-out area was perfect for relaxing on warm evenings. we highly recommend this delightful accommodation in Christchurch.

It was a fair walk into the city centre, but that can't be helped given the state of hotels in the cbd. I did, of course, choose the day it snowed in Canterbury!

It was warm, spacious and well appointed.

The pressure in the shower was quite poor but this may have been something to do with the earthquake. We still managed to shower adequately.

The motel had everything we needed to have a wild time. With a relaxed garden setting, we had dope BBQs and chill sessions. The big screen showed live sports, and the gaming machines were a sick way to pass the time. Plus, we had a blast skiing, shopping, and soaking in hot springs nearby. Our crew had the time of our lives!

Only thing missing was an epic party room for us young party lovers to throw down and turn the volume up to maximum!

Neat and tidy rooms and friendly and helpful staff. Property is being improved.

The friendly helpfulness of the owner and his staff and handily placed for public transport to the city centre and nearby excellent restaurants.
