It was a delight to stay at Designer Cottage and the cottage could not be faulted in any way shape or form. The owner was very obliging and went out of his way to accommodate us which was greatly appreciated. It was a pleasure to communicate him and he was extremely timely in his responsiveness. We would have no reservations in booking to stay there on our return trips to Christchurch. It would in fact be our accommodation of choice compared to other places we have stayed when visiting Christchurch.

we loved the motel. It reminds us of chalets in Malaysia like langkawi/terengganu areas. The place has access to a private beach area with a little walk. Our little one played by the beach making sandcastle. The room is spacious. The staff was great, very flexible and understanding. laundry is also cheap.

Location was relativity close to the city centre, good size room, lots of parking. Sky TV option. Heating was okay, downside was it’s on a 2 hr timer so room goes cold often.

Steve was our host. He was polite ,had a warm personality and very helpful as to what attractions to see and food outlets restaurants etc to be found locally. The cottage was within walking distance to the city centre, and was quite a quiet location.The continental breakfast was just fine for our needs. Steve even set breakfast out in our cottage for our early start the next day.

I travelled to Christchurch to take some days off. The motel was very nice for the purposes I needed it. The room I rented had a kitchen and cooking appliances and a small outside area on the back; it was spacious and had a nice shower. It also has a laundry service, which is quite cheap. The location was perfect, very close to the city center but also to all the roads to get into the highways easily. The communication with the motel staff was good and friendly.
