Reviews of Tower Junction Motor Lodge- Motel with Airport and Railway Station Shuttle Service
Paul Dudumas
We stayed in a 2-bedroom unit with our adult daughter at the Tower Junction Motor Lodge for 3 nights during our recent NZ holiday. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. The Unit is very well located and in walking distance to the train station. The owners were unobtrusive but happy to assist with transport etc. Parking is available and free. Highly recommended.

I stayed in Tower Junction Motel twice in Aug/Sept 2025 at the beginning & end of my travels (5 nights). Location is very good with easy walk to train station, pub for meals, & Riccarton shopping centre. The rooms are comfy, clean, well setup & reasonable prices.

Amazing, accommodating hosts, who generously allowed us to go into the unit ahead time, who helped with luggage, explained use of amenities and took us to the train early in the morning. Friendly, helpful. Super Comfy bed. Kitchen facilities more than adequate for our needs. Warm. Clean. Very very happy with this stay
