great location, in front of new region street, close to city center. facilities are good, there are several bathrooms and toilets, never waited for one. kitchen is big, didn't use them but I think it's enough for backpacker to cook and storage their foods in fridge. I living in room for single, got a locker wardrobe and a window inside. I think there should be a table inside but there isn't, not big deal. the window was tricky, I don't.know how.to open or close it, it's like a trapdoor, maybe during winter it would be cold.
1. Prime location, with Great Lake view in front, 200m walk from local supermarket;
2. The facilities are good but also very horrible, really big kitchen and common room for guests to cook and eat, outdoor seats with BBQ setting, all kinds of cooking stuff, etc. but shower on the 1st floor is block and the entire toilet is flooded!!!! The basin is blocked also!!!! Flushing of Toilet sometimes doesn’t work, there is hairdryer;
3. I quite like the room, clean and quiet, there is a small light, usb port, and small cabin and curtain on the bed, 2 lockers for each guest, bed is very comfortable;
It was Easter 🐣 week so the shop was closed, so I called and they opened the door for me.
The shop is a bar, so it may be crowded on normal days, but I think it's a good idea to check with the staff. Everyone is very friendly and kind, so you can enter the room with peace of mind. The private room is as shown in the photo, and it even has a refrigerator. It was kept clean and very comfortable. It was raining and the outside temperature dropped, but it didn't affect the room. The shared space is the kitchen, shower and toilet, but this shop has been there since the 1800s, so you can feel the history. However, the kitchen has been remade and is induction compatible. I have only ever used gas, but I was able to use it without any problems!
I also decided on this hotel because I was planning to watch a rugby game. It is about a 15-minute walk away, and there are McDonalds and other places, and the street lights are basically on, so I think the security is not a problem.
I highly recommend this hotel over other Doritomi, so please give it a try!
Thank you for a wonderful time!
I checked in around midnight. There's a key safe at the entrance, they send you a code, and you take your key card. There are many cool people inside. The place is very clean, the staff is friendly. For the price, this place is just perfect for a couple of nights.
I booked a 3-bed female-only dorm.
This is a hotel that was converted from a historic prison. The staff are very nice and the guests are very friendly. It feels like a big family living together. It is not too far to walk to the city, so everything is very convenient.
Gute Ausstattung, es ist halt ein Hostel.
Leider auch etwas laut und die Hochbetten sind wackelig, sodass man merkt, wenn sich der andere unten bzw oben umdreht.

Hostel vibe that has everything you need. The location was great as it was very easy to walk the seal colony and whale watching tour.
We did our laundry their too which was easy to use and the host was very helpful with that as well as when we had issue with checking in.
A few hobs didn’t work in the kitchen which make it a bit challenging to cook if there were other people.
Very Good

YYangyang05The location is next to the road, so there will be noise at night when cars pass by quickly and the houses here are generally not soundproofed. But if the room is near the parking lot, maybe it can be improved. Everything else is perfect, because there is a living room and an open kitchen, two bedrooms (one with a single bed and one with a double bed), a separate bathroom with dry and wet areas, and a hair dryer, which is a great deal
GGuest UserVery good location as it is just walking distance to the food hub and airport is about 10 minutes walk away. Nice lounge and kitchen area. Pods were clean, however the individual fan inside the pod was quite noisy and hot so it affected my sleep quality. Also would be good to have shampoo and body wash dispenser set up in every shower room.
LLouis ConnorWe were running late and were going to miss the advertised check-in time, so I called ahead to find out what to do. Although no-one answered the phone, we were informed by the automated answerphone that if you missed check-in, they would leave your keys to your room in a lock-box outside reception. This is a major plus for travellers as it can be so hard to execute your travel plans to schedule!
The facilities in The Lodge, where we were staying were mostly communal and hostel-like - people seemed to hang around in hallways. For some this could be a great way to socialise or otherwise intimidating. These communal areas were slightly untidy and unclean. We stayed in a room with en-suite facilities. It was very basic with two large twin beds pushed together to make a King-sized bed. The shower temperature fluctuated massively but we had a comfortable stay.
We did not eat on-site as we found it to be overpriced but we did notice that there was a wide range of social events such as a pub quiz which would have been super fun if we had more time!
DDragan S**Comfortable Stay with Great Service**
I had a pleasant stay at **Rosewood Court Motel**. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with all the essentials, including a comfortable bed and a small kitchenette. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and the parking was convenient.
The staff was friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with any requests. The location was also great—close to shops, restaurants, and easy access to the city.
Overall, it’s a good choice for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. I would definitely consider staying here again.
AAnonymous UserGreat room, everything you need for the night.
Location not close to centre, but super close to the railway station for the Costal Pacific train, which was my reason for booking this motel.
Reception staff very friendly, even providing bottle of milk for the morning coffee!
TTomFraenkNice stay in Christchurch. Two nights in the motel with a very friendly and helpful staff. Big advance - the shuttle service from/to the airport with just a few minutes drive. Very good service and availability by call. Room with a big space, very clean. The furniture wasn‘t new, but well maintained and quite clean. It needs around 30 minutes with the bus to the city Center. No convenient stores or shopes close by.
GGUIYINGThe hotel has a parking lot and no breakfast, but the location of the hotel is very good. It is a few minutes away from the large supermarket, Chinatown and food street. It is very convenient to eat. You can also come to the supermarket to buy food and cook for yourself. This hotel has Chinese service.
GGuest UserThere are snow-capped mountains outside the window, and the scenery is beautiful. The hotel facilities are very good, exceeding expectations. It is very convenient to climb Mount Cook!
But there is very little food in this place, and there is no supermarket. It is best to bring some cooked food and bread and fruit with you.
But please note that if the cooked food has a strong smell, you may be charged extra
GGuest UserIt was my first time staying at a motel so I was a bit nervous, but they were very accommodating to my early check-in and the room was very clean.
There was also a laundry room, which was helpful for a long stay.
Ddurbin78The Intercity bus stop is right in front of the hotel. The internal facilities are complete, and the shower has a spray head. The room is clean and tidy. We were even able to check in early at 1 PM when our bus arrived. The media room, common areas, and even the trigger (I'm assuming this refers to an amenity like an arcade game or a specific type of lounge) are all very spacious, and the environment is excellent. The first picture shows the common area, the second shows the front desk and hallway after entering, and the third is a direct shot of the Milky Way from a phone that night.
