Adelphi Motel

Christchurch

We stayed two nights at this excellent motel. A spotless apartment, fully equipped, comfortable bed and ideally situated for an on-foot exploration of Christchurch. Highly recommended. Staff helpful and friendly.

First-class Christchurch motel

Stayed with my 4 children last week for 2 nights. Property is clean and tidy on the outside and rooms were great too. There was  a little bit of a funky smell in the kitchen cupboards but we werent fussed. Window locks on the windows that faced out to the balcony. Hosts were lovely and very polite and welcoming. We have stayed in many motels and found Adelphis wifi the best! There was no lag or connection issues. My kids enjoyed their stay and have asked to return on our next visit. Would definitely recommend a stay here

The room was newly renovated, very clean and comfortable.  The hosts were super friendly

We stayed in the two bedroom apartment, 2 kids   2 adults.  The building looked old from the outside but has been renovated inside, so was very modern and clean.  Good size overall. Comfortable beds. Kitchen had a variety of items that we used. Didn’t need the washing machine, but handy if you were staying longer. No dishwasher. Big fridge. Nice bathroom, big shower. Pleasant 1 night stay, would come again.

Very clean and comfortable. Everything that we needed was there. And the room was already warm with the heater running when we checked in

Really nice property (quite modern and well maintained) and the staff were really friendly.

I've worked in tourism and hospitality in Queenstown including for a motel and now design bespoke houses and apartments there. Adelphi is an older motel, and my expectations were modest.  It was booked for me and to be honest it may not have been my first choice if I was choosing.

Check in with Erin was easy and on walking to the room I noticed young apple trees and grape vines in fruit.  They had planted them to allow guests who might have never picked an apple to pick their own.  Wow- who thinks of such a simple delightful experience?

Family people, that's who.

On seeing my room (No, 2) I was very pleasantly surprised- on trend white & wood Scandinavian furniture and bed- and solid & comfortable table chairs and sofa.  (All the motel chairs and sofas I've used before were thinly padded cheapos that made it a relief to stand up)  There was even a genuine David Trubridge Hinaki lampshade.  And clean!

When you read the other Trip Advisor reviews it's clear it was before Erin & Mike bought it and refurbished it, and those are obsolete.

The stylish King bed is comfortable, the room has a heatpump/ air con- generous fridge freezer and a first for me- it's own full size washer & dryer!  Cutlery & crockery is generous and solid, soft close drawers and the bathroom stylish, light & airy.  There's an ironing setup, microwave, hob, toaster- even a grater.  Everything you need for a multi day or week stay.  Seriously, you could live in here easily.   Space is generous- there are much smaller apartments  in Queenstown.

Erin and Mike are generous hosts- with time and knowledge to share- genuine folk who care.   

So- there you have it.  Based on the Google Streetview I might not have chosen Adelphi- but having such a comfortable stay here, I don't imagine staying anywhere else in Christchurch.  

Well done Erin, and thank you.

An unexpected delight

Erin and her mother are attentive hosts who provided helpful tips--and meat to feed the eels! They take time to answer questions and help guests any way they can. Peanut and Coco are friendly bonuses if one likes pets (which we do!). The room was very comfortable, with every amenity one could need, including washer and dryer. The decor is modern and clean. Even though our room was very close to the road, once doors and windows are closed you can hardly hear any noise (and there's ac if it's hot). Wifi is very good. All in all, an excellent place to stay in Christchurch.

Awesome little motel

Host,Erin, was very welcoming and fast in responding to my emails and requests. The family room we stayed in was on the ground floor (you just rolled in your heavy luggage) and was recently refurbished and offering you just what you need for a very clean and cosy stay. I heard from the host all the other rooms will complete refurbishment soon too. This motel is definitely way above what we had expected.

Very pleasant stay

A beautifully decorated unit with a king bed. Spotlessly clean and close to everything. The owner gave us milk in a reusable glass bottle which is a small but sustainable gesture. Great value for money. Would use again if in chch.
