Bella Vista Motel & Apartments Christchurch

All the amenities were functioning. The room size was good. The hot tub in the room was a nice touch and utilised by all. There were plenty of nice restaurants , convenience stores and attractions nearby. Parking was available and convenient. The staff members were attentive and helpful and gave us some great tips for sightseeing and shopping.

The Bella Vista is located on the fringe of the Christchurch CBD, which makes it easy to find and central to a lot of places. The CBD is an easy (and flat) 20 minute walk, plus there are shops and very good eating places in various directions, all within a 15 to 20 minute walk. The complex is immaculately presented and the hosts are attentive and friendly. We stayed in a Queen room. It's compact, but cleverly designed to make the most of the space. We appreciated the table and comfortable sitting chairs. All rooms at Bella Vista have a good little kitchenette. The bathroom was small, but worked well. Our only challenge was where to put two suitcases, as there was little floor space. The hotel is on a busy road and it is fairly noisy in the early evening and morning, but apart from the occasional sirens and hoons, it's not a problem. Our only complaint is the level of light in the room at night that disturbed our rest. The curtains were private, but were inadequate to block the strong external lights. The door was also semi-transparent and introduced a lot of light. This seems to be a common problem with motels these days, but could be simply solved with heavier drapes. We recommend the Bella Vista as a great place to stay in a beautiful city and would definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay. Recommend and would stay there again. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Our apartment had everything we needed, was warm and cosy. Very comfy beds and pillows and plenty of hot water for the showers.

Clean and welcoming - the basic Bella Vista experience - ideal for the night before flying from the airport. Thank you. The WiFi not strong but we have had worse. Everything for a stop over - can recommend but not as a destination

I booked the compact studio and wow it's the smallest room I've ever been in. Alright for an overnight stay for one person but I wouldn't want to be in it for longer. Lovely bathroom and bed; not a fan of eating a meal while seated at a bench beneath the TV. Each room has its own car parking space.

A friendly welcome and room was ready - big bonus after 20 hours flying from UK. Map provided with recommendations. Perfect 2 bedroom with upstairs for the bedrooms and lovely spacious bathroom with fab shower and spa bath. Beds really comfortable and all very clean. Road is busy and could be noisy - we requested rooms further away and good double glazing. Emma the owner was so friendly and helped us with various requests. Fantastic coffee van was parked up both mornings. Turn right and opposite and there is a fabulous cafe Affogato - brilliant for breakfast. Turn left and 10 minutes to a great locals pub. 20 min walk into city if you don’t grab an Uber or catch the bus.

Very handy location Available parking Room’s very clean , and well appointed Great shower , could get the dirtiest body clean with the pressure Reception, very friendly and helpful Novel attraction. They have a coffee cart at the front in the mornings

The location was close to the CBD, & to Southern Cross Hospital, the later is where I needed to get to/from Reception was excellent : they helped with getting dinner ( no car ) , they helped with getting a few things from supermarket ( again because I couldn’t get there ) They looked out for my safety &checked on my welfare ( I was disabled )
