    A ten minute walk from the university campus. Comfy bed. Netflix. Bus from the city centre stops very close to the motel on Riccarton Road.

    Located along Riccarton Road, the property is easy to find and has off-street parking. The room was very quiet and traffic noise is not an issue. The room was clean and comfortable.
