Pineacres Motel and Park

Beds need updating - they are too old and bedding is old, pillows uncomfortable. Units not soundproof. No milk provided for a cuppa in the morning.

The accommodations and the host were very nice. A large campground behind the suites was unexpected

Handy to State Highway 1. Easy to find.

Busted pipes, limited water for 2 days, then no hot water for shower…

I received a cancellation notice due to plumbing problems. Tried several times to contact the place and could not get through. Friends booked for the same night the day before our function and were given a room. I was extremely disappointed with the owners for not contacting me to see if I would still like a room if their plumbing was repaired. Their service is non existent

Nothing to complain about. They were very busy.

Was a little noisy as right on the state highway but overall a clean tidy place to stay 🙂

We booked through wotif, arrived at the property only to be told by very uninterested & unkempt manager that there was no room there for us- he was fully booked and would not listen when we said we had booked ahead and paid. “I hate these booking agencies” he told us. We had to, in the gloomy light, drive on frantically searching online as we drove. Eventually, 30 min later, we found somewhere: in the dark, very tired, very frustrated and humiliated by the experience

Pretty basic chalet on a holiday park. Close to a restaurant and bar and not far from Kaiapoi town which was lovely. The park manager was helpful and friendly and the room was clean. Bit close to the main highway for noise but we still slept okay.

The unit was comfortable, clean and tidy. Two queen beds ...the one we used was very comfortable

The owner was lovely. But they need to service rooms, we didn’t get services at all the bed was very low so we put other mattress on top of the other one which was good but the need to clean under beds. Might have been the owner was on his own.

Even though we had booked and paid weeks ago he did not know what Studio (cabin) we would have. Initially shown into one that smelt as if something was rotting under the floor. Then to another that was a bit better. Even though we were expected the studio was not aired and it was stifling hot. Other peoples drivers licences were on show at the counter of the office. No privacy act adhered to here. The studio was anything but clean. We had to do dishes before we could use them. The tea towel was hanging on a very grubby wall. The shower curtain was mouldy. And the cobwebs in the bathroom show it either was roughly cleaned or not cleaned for ages. Theres a shaving plug in the bathroom however no mirror. I doubt the kitchenette floor was swept let alone washed. Lets not even discuss the chair on the balcony. Thank goodness we had no time to sit out there. Very disappointing.

Tidy wee rooms. Mattress is a bit uncomfortable though

Room was very simple, and lacked comfort. No carpet or mats on floor, and no air conditioning had a negative impact on the Floor by fridge had yucky gooy stains..

Clean and tidy, great value. Handy location just off the motorway

Good for a short stay, e.g. if going from or to Christchurch Airport.

Old dude was absolutely LOVELY!! fridge was a bit noisy at 5am, but lovely stay for 2 nights, lawns freshly mowed 2-bonus- will def be back!!

Restaurant and bar next door good. Motel distinctly below average, more accurately a shambles

Comfortable, clean. Quiet.close to town easy walk to supermarket.

3rd time here now , new paint and freashn up looks great .
