Northcote Motor Lodge Christchurch

Review by hotel critic

During my recent stay at Northcote, I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful amenities that balanced comfort with value. The one-bedroom unit was exceptionally clean, featuring well-maintained facilities, a comfortable bed, and fluffy towels, which added a touch of luxury to the experience. The spacious kitchen was equipped with essential cookware, including an electric kettle and even a bottle of milk on arrival—details that demonstrate a commitment to guest convenience. The location proved practical, situated conveniently near a petrol station and local shops for any necessities. Although we didn't experience air conditioning, the large standing fan provided sufficient cooling on warmer days. A seating area in both front and back offered flexibility depending on your preference for sun or shade during relaxation. What stood out was the genuine hospitality from the hosts, accommodating our early check-in request without hesitation. For those seeking a balance of luxury and financial wisdom, Northcote offers a solid option for travelers, particularly those in need of family-friendly amenities and a welcoming environment. I would consider returning, appreciating both the comfort and the thoughtful touches within their services.
