Very helpful staff. We needed a fan as our room had no air conditioning. They bought us a decent sized fan which was great. The washing machine was wonderful as we were there for 5 days and washing powder was provided. We stayed in the accessible room as Im in a wheelchair. Lots of grabrails in the bathroom and room for the chair. I thought the whole room was set out well for a wheelchairGreat pub on the corner for food, Jimmy's across the road also great food, liquorland 1 minute walk away, yummy café 5 minutes walk, botanical gardens 10 minute walk away and are absolutely beautiful. Nice central location.

This is one of the nicest motels I've stayed in. Incredibly clean, friendly management, felt like home away from home. Car parking spaces are very narrow though and the motel sign is slightly obscured coming from centre city.

We loved our stay at De Lago Apartments. Will the manager was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The room was massive with a Jacuzzi bath and a private balcony although we did pay extra for this and it was well worth the money. It is about 20 mins walk into central Christchurch and all the attractions. There are plenty of restaurants nearby as well as a petrol station and liquor store. The kitchen was perfect and there was nothing that we required in addition to what was provided. Loved it here.

Great place for exploring city and close to airpor

Great stay here. Close to city centre and easy walk to tram line and cathedral etc. Great advice from host on what/where to go. Perfect room for our last trip before leaving NZ. Good size to finish off packing and sorting kit. Close enough to airport for Uber ride on last day. Would recommend.

Quiet & comfortable

Friendly & accommodating. Large studio room with, couch, chair, coffee table, bed, bedside cabinets. table & chairs, and kitchen area. The bathroom has a shower over a big spa bath. I enjoyed a bubble bath each night 😁 Quiet room with so much space. I didn’t need the bag stand as I put all my belongings into the wardrobe & shelving. I would stay here again.
