Reviews of Tuscana Motor Lodge
Mirren Palmer
Perfectly met our needs for a week long stay. Spacious room, lovely decor, very clean and bathroom has a heater for those chilly ChCh mornings. Kitchenette was perfect for breakfast and light meals. Friendly staff.
Michele Sutin
This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners are terrific. The rooms are a little dated but I didn’t mind. It’s affordable, clean, and comfortable. I would stay here again.

3 star standard. A few hairs in the bathroom. We didn’t appreciate arriving in the room to find an unattended candle burning. For me this raised questions as to the fire safety knowledge and standard of the motel management.
Maurice Blair

Kath Jones
Lovely ground floor room with kitchenette and microwave and spacious bathroom. Very clean and there was even a guest launderette that you could use. Plenty off road parking and a beautiful park 10 min walk away. We went down to the beach area which is a car ride away and enjoyed driving along the sea front and walking around.
