We loved this surprise find in the Christchurch area. The people were wonderfully friendly and helpful. They seemed to really care about making sure their guests were taken care of. Rooms were clean and spacious and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. The Merivale area was fun to walk around and was close by. My only regret was that our second […] stay there was cancelled because our flight out of Queenstown got cancelled. I would stay here again in a minute. Read more

Merrivale Manor was an excellent property. The room was clean, up to date and included microwave, refrigerator, which came in very handy. Proprieters were extremely nice and accommodating. Good location.

In our three-week stay in NZ, we only stayed here 2 nights but thought it was the best accomodations and value we had. It's an excellent location in Christ Church. Easy walk to city center and botanic gardens. Our room was extremely modern and clean with a great, well-equiped kitchen. Lots of free perks like laundry use, breakfast of cereal and milk, […] wifi and parking. The building is charming and well landscaped. We stayed in newer units that had been added to grounds of a historic mansion. Read more

Very clean, and great service. But the location was a long walk from downtown, so we needed to get in the car anytime we wanted to go somewhere. Also, depending on which room you are in, there may be some street noise.

Beautiful historic building with good location and amenities. We stayed within the manor in a well-appointed room which included mini kitchenette and breakfast items. Hotel is located within 30 minutes walking distance of downtown Christchurch. Highly recommended.

Merrivale Manor was a lovely place to stay though the room rates above the studio were a little pricey for a location with a ton of motels. The charm of this place is that it is an old historic manor but the rooms are contemporary and comfortable. The studio was a little on the small side but the other rooms were very nice and big. We sat out of the […] patio for a lovely morning of reading. The continental breakfast was disappointing since it is only some bread, milk, and cereal in the room but they replenish daily. The kitchenette was nice but there was a problem with the fridge. It was great to have free wifi and free laundry. The front desk staff were not particularly helpful in terms of recommendations or bookings and they didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about helping visitors have a great experience in a city so damaged by recent earthquakes. I would recommend this as a decent place to stay but if I went back to Christchurch, I would explore other options. Read more

I only stayed for one night but was very satisfied with the accomodation. Trip Advisor was right this is a very nice, clean, centrally located manor. A great first stop after 23 hrs of flying.

The people were very friendly and helpful and the place is very smartly decorated. I would have liked to stay longer.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location is very close to restaurants and a grocery store and just a half hour walk to downtown. The owners are very friendly and the main building is a 150 year old house that has been renovated with modern appliances (microwave, stovetop, and fridge)--a great example of historic preservation. The bathroom is small but well designed; the TV is […] wall mounted so it avoids being intrusive. I picked this motel because of the customer ratings and was very pleased to find out that the ratings were correct. Read more

This motel has wireless which I needed. They also had a heating blanket I also needed. Their heaters worked great in the room. My only complaint here was that my bathtub had some left over hairs from the last guest... Workers were very helpful and taxis come within one minute..

The hosts were extremely nice and helpful. We flew in and arrived at 2 am. I contacted them prior to coming to let them know we would be in so late. They left a key in the lockbox and instructions on where the rooms were located. Getting into the rooms at such a late hour was very easy. The rooms were very large and modern. They even contained a small […] kitchen and some breakfast food (milk, cereal, and toast were provided). The beds were very comfortable. The hotel is located outside of downtown in a neighborhood that was not as badly damaged by the earthquakes. Read more

Very pleasant and helpful hosts made our last night in NZ a most enjoyable experience in an attractive and historic house, the inside of which has been completely refurbished for 21st century comfort. Breakfast provided is cereal and toast - fruit would have been nice.

Wonderful start to our holiday! Lovely spa bath, which was really appreciated after a long flight! Everything provided for our first morning, which was very thoughtful. Only downside was noise from busy road. Would happily stay there again & recommend to others.

Merivale Manor is a very good quality motel in a great location. Units are finished to a high standard and everything is immaculately clean and well maintained. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It's also in a great location with plenty of lovely restaurants, bars and shops nearby and easy access to the city centre. Excellent value for mon […] ey.

Historic building with beautiful furnishings and high ceilings. Kitchen facilities allowed us to prepare our own meal. Laundry facilities also very good.

Excellent motel with free laundry and free WiFi facilities. Good bus route into city and to airport. A good pub just up the road with very good meals. A good supermarket was within easy reach on foot. Good cooking facilities in the motel room. A very clean and well equipped room with air conditioning.

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel has all the usual features, incl air-con, and has been recently modernised. It is located in the posh suburb of Merivale, about 20mins walk from the earthquake-damaged CBD of Christchurch, but far enough away not to have suffered any serious damage itself. Although the CBD itself is still mostly […] rubble and a no-go area (Dec 2012), Merivale is still ok, and has lots of shops, restaurants and even a couple of pubs within 10mins walk of the hotel. The rooms were very clean, with an excellent TV - the ownerseven provided milk and bread for a diy breakfast. This was an excellent place to stay and makes a very good base from which to explore Christchurch or the surrounding areas. Read more

The room was well appointed with a very comfortable bed and nice shower. Despite being on Papanui Rd (quite a busy arterial) the room was lovely and quiet. My room was upstairs and although the place was fully booked, I did not hear my neighbours. I would definitely stay again.

Clean and very comfortable, close to shops and restaurants. Free use of washing machine and dryer was a real bonus, able to do all my washing before flying home. Adequate cooking facilities. Free wifi.

Fantastic big studio rooms, helpful owner, just a few metres walk to three or four good places to eat. Delighted with it

The upstairs room was spacious and well appointed. Very modern kitchenette and appliances. Free wifi and a digital tvand a cd player provided options for entertainment. The proprieters were friendly and accommodating. A great place to say. Although on main road the room was in the manor house at the back of the block and was very quiet, no traffic noise […] at all. Will get return business from us. Read more

One of the two best hotel / motel stays in our recent trip to New Zealand . The location is good ( or as good as it can be given the devastation to the central part of the city ) . Our room ( in the manor house ) was well equipped with fridge freezer , large digital TV , microwave , cooker and ( especially appreciated ) free Wifi which we came to realise […] was not always the case in NZ . The owners of the motel were extremely friendly and helpful and I would certainly recommend Merivale to visitors to Christchurch . Read more

Stayed in the 2 b'rm part of the manor, downstairs, absolutely gorgeous! High ceilings, beautiful big rooms, great aspect. Would definitely stay again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed in a manor room which was lovely. Full facilities and a very comfy bedroom. Free wifi which was a boon, and an extremely helpful owner. Well worth wandering up the road to the brewers arms for a feed. You're presented with a very hot stone on which you cook your own food, great fun.

The Merivale Manor Motel has come off reasonably well during the Christchurch earthquakes. A small reminder in a crack in the architrave above our rooms door and a recent crack in the stairway wall, plaster only, allowed one to understand this ongoing trauma to such a beautiful city. The Motel was lavishly decorated, clean and most comfortable. The […] double bed was not comfortable however, ending up in two sleepless nights for us. I understood there was breakfast with the room...this ended up being 3 boxes of sanitarium cereal and milk, or pre-frozen sliced bread (which we were charged for, to my disgust). The chap that saw us to our room was helpful, and only slightly faltered when we mentioned we have a 6 yr old with us too, therefore requiring a fold away bed to be placed in the room. We said yes to a paper in the morning, which we never received, I'm unsure as to weather we got charged for that or not. The bathroom was lovely, the kitchen well equipped and the TV huge. All in all I would give Merivale Manor Motel a thumbs up, just a few things to be aware of if you choose to stay there, we wouldn't normally spend as much on accommodation-so this was a treat. They just scrapped in with making me feel that it was money well spent. Read more

We had a lovely stay in the Manor Room of The Merivale Manor. The hosts were extremely helpful and knowledgable and our room was both beautiful and functional. Electric blankets were a real treat as we did not encounter these again during our time in the South Island. We would highly recommend staying at The Merivale Manor. There is also a bus stop […] right out the front and you are within 5-10minutes walk of great pubs and delis. Thank you Read more

A wonderful place to begin our trip to Christchurch, and South Island.. very warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble, and really appreciated the continental breakfast provided. Close to great eating places, in particular Italian restaurant, Tutto Bene. Huge serves, full of locals, good prices - make sure you are really hungry, advance booking a must. […] Motel has easy access from airport. Although located on a main road, double glazing ensures quiet. We have enjoyed it so much we have booked to return for another stay after touring South Island for 3 weeks.. Thanks for providing everything we could possible want.. We will certainly recommend this to our friends and hope to return again soon.. Read more

공항에서 찾아가기는 좀 쉽지 않았습니다. 공항에서 City로 가는 버스를 타고 근처에서 내려서 한참을 걸어갔거든요- 그치만 숙소 바로 앞에 City로 가는 다른 버스들이 많아서 City를 오갈 때는 편하게 이동하였습니다. 객실 상태도 깨끗하고 아저씨도 친절하고~ 대체로 만족스럽게 지냈습니다.
