Ideal for nature lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and have kitchen facilities. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than vacation homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
Great location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean. Great to be able to use the kitchen facilities in the lodge despite staying in the motel. The onsite bar/restaurant does room service. The food is exceptional.
Enjoyed our layover night stay at the Airport Gateway Motor Lodge, the staff helpful & efficient, the room clean, warm and comfortable, good kitchenette and shower.
Proximity to airport and free 24hr shuttle made for a great stay for early departure. Recommended.
We arranged a trip to Christchurch in July back in April. Initially, we booked another accommodation, but after comparing reviews and careful consideration, we decided to switch to Lorenzo Motor Lodge. It turned out to be a very good decision. The location is convenient, with many different styles of restaurants and bars nearby. The room is quiet and comfortable, and all the amenities seem to be updated frequently, so they are very clean and new.
Lovely hostess. Was a pet friendly motel, had above average cooking facilities, including a microwave, a tabletop grill and an actual oven. This is the first place we have stayed at that has had an oven. One of rhe other highlights for us was that the motel was close to Central Christchurch. Less than 10 minutes to get to several appointments. Thank you Classique Lodge Motel!
Our room is comfy and clean. Kitchenette is great. The manager of the lodge is friendly and nice. They offered us a free shuttle to the airport. There's a big garden where you get to enjoy sunshine. Free parking.
The Airport Gateway Motor Lodge was a great place to stay. We were only there one night before our flight the next day but it had everything that is required. The kitchenette had all the utensils required for cooking, the bathroom was lovely and the bed comfy. The free airport shuttle was a bonus. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.
We always stay at the Airport Gateway Motor Lodge when we are travelling to and from New Zealand as our flights always arrive in the early hours of the morning. No matter how many times we stay, the service is always excellent, the rooms extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The shuttle service is excellent.
We actually preferred the excellent room we had upstairs in the Lodge with ensuite and enjoyed talking to the backpackers. .Motel rooms felt as though no privacy .. It is a great place to stay overall . We always add in Breakfast added in as good value and free cancellation just in case.
I have stayed in a few lodges and motels over the past few weeks but this was by far the best. It was homely, well equipped and very comfortable and the proprietor went out of her way to make you feel valued. This included a lift to the station on the heavy rain.
