Pineacres Motel and Park

Owner was very nice when we arrived the studio was nice and clean had everything we need for a night away and it was ver

The restaurant was nice

Misleading room details photos were from the bigger nicer rooms but i ended up stuffed in one of those smaller units, dirty, no smoke detector, bugs on the ground, bed looked older than me, note im 36, electrical power points/light switches broken, test tags all out of date, floor that uneven that the crappy outdoor table thats inside wouldn't sit flat on it, expensive for what it is considering its next to the main road

Location suited us as Christchurch fully booked out.

Stuck in a Container unitShower did not drainNo TV Remote for 4 days

The room itself was nice enough Quite new, 2 double beds. Plenty of space. The bloke at reception was clearly having a bad day but was very friendly and apologetic about all the chaos.

It's right beside State Highway 1 so there is a lot of traffic noise. The bar/ restaurant on the same property closed early- before 7.30pm, so we had to go back into town to eat. The whole complex feels run down.

The room was great and located right next to a pub which does nice meals. I did need to buy a new pillow as the one's in the room where too hard. There is a laundry in the camp sight which was convenient as stayed for 6 days. If had not gone to the laundry would not have known the campgrounds are a bit run down as room stay is separate and in great condition.

pub next door has very friendly staff.

It was close to kaiapoi town center and there was a nice restaurant and bar on site

Because it's by a busy highway you can hear Traffic passing day and night

Fantastically comfortable, great private rooms and such a lovely welcoming on arrival. Lovely and friendly my toddler and I were able to have a long solid sleep after such a big drive.

Could be cleaner but overall absolutely coming again

Difficult to find but once we knew how to get in there all good Very noise neboursat night had an argument and we could hear every word the yelling at each other But it was a lovely place thank you ?

New towels for the second day would have been amazing

If you're looking for accommodation right next to a restaurant & bar then this is your place.

There were no extra blankets, only 1 blanket on bed & the pillows weren't the best. I'd definitely take extra blankets next time.

It was fairly private.The room was warm and in a sunny position.It was close to Kaiapoi and a short drive to Rangiora.

The driveway into the place needs a serious upgrade,full of potholes.The room needed a spring clean,the standard of cleanliness was not very good.

Staff were friendly and helpful

Facilities a little run down and need an upgrade. Beds were uncomfortable

Very good

the receptionist (a elderly man) could have been dressed more appropriately, instead of shorts and no top

Liked location and comfort of bed

Only 2 sachets of coffee and 1 teabag for 8 night stay

Gentleman at reception was pleasant. Even gave us chocolates. Though on hindsight this was a sweetener for the poor accommodation.

Room wasn't ready on our arrival early evening. Room wasn't clean. Toilet hadn't been cleaned, floor hadn't been brushed or washed.Curtains were filthy. Not at all pleasant.

No one responded to door bell at 630pm even though door sign said open. Said use phone on outside of building after hours but note on phone said broken.Rang the number from my mobile.A blunt man answered.I explained I had a booking, just arrived from the coast after a three hour drive.He said he had nothing available.I said I have a confirmation from booking .come and when I booked it said one room available.He was grumpy and rude, said he told booking .com he had no rooms.I said ok sir, he said ok madam and hung up on me.

EverythingNo serviceNo care given about nowhere to stayNo recommendationsThe place is run down and unkeptPleased I didn’t end up being able to stay there

Waynes humour and attitude! He's a bloody good sort and I thoroughly enjoyed bantering with him at check in/out. Even gave us a box of chocolates for the long weekend (after we were very late checking in to our room)

Bed was broken and propped up by wooden blocks. Bit of a surprise when you go to lie on it and the slats all fall to the floor.

Poor

It was an Emergency housing facility, which I wasn't aware of. This was not disclosed on the website.

Bad

We didn’t like turning up for our booking and being told there wasn’t any for us. We had booked online and they had double booked We we’re not the only ones it happened to. We would not bother coming there again. Not funny looking for accommodation at night

Ideal location for a holiday breakGood facilities for a studio unit

Got a bit cold overnight but heat pump sorted that

Didn't have breakfast.

The shower was dirty. No couch or anywhere comfy to sit.The TV is way too high.The room was freezing when we arrived.
