Reviews of Annabelle Court Motel
Phil Staples
Stayed here one night whilst passing through Christchurch and wished I had not. Grotty little place with basic amenities and unfriendly staff. The room was cold and unwelcoming. The bathroom was cramped and basic. Definately not value for money.

Wonderfully clean and tidy motel in a great location. I was unsure about whether there would be a lot of traffic noise but it was amazingly quiet as the units are double glazed. Good kitchen facilities, and friendly staff. We would happily stay here whenever we are in Christchurch

Attendant said they cannot give refund, and the manager won't be back till after we left. We gave...
Jeff and Jamie
Stayed 6 nights. The room was of a good size, very clean and well set out. Kitchenette was well set out and held everything you required to cook. Bed was comfortable / shower On my God was it decent. Plenty of parking so don’t worry there, with plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance along with major shopping centre. Easy enjoyable walk into CBD
