About this place Sherborne Motor Lodge

Sherborne Motor Lodge is a motel in St Albans, a residential suburb just north of central Christchurch. It is a gay-friendly mainstream place, not a gay venue. Like most New Zealand motor lodges, it offers self-contained units with parking at the door, which suits road trips around Canterbury. The rebuilt city centre, Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens are a short drive or a 25-minute walk away. Christchurch has a small gay scene. Google reviewers rate the lodge 4.7 from about 170 reviews, with cleanliness and the hosts often mentioned.

The very nice place to stay with the friendly helpful owner. We booked 2 nights in this place for our last holidays in New Zealand. The room is clean, fresh, nice and tidy, all in perfect conditions. Located near the main road but not noisy at all. The price is reasonable and you get a free car park and free wifi. Enjoy it

Me and my family stayed here for a weekend, when a neighboring Motor Lodge couldn't accommodate us due to an issue with the room. This was a true blessing as we had a wonderful experience and stay at the Sherborne motor lodge. Rick was the perfect host and very accommodating and friendly. The room was clean and very comfortable. We highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a comfortable clean accomodation with the perfect host. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

I stayed at this accommodation last December. Although the location wasn't exactly in the city center, it was fine since it was quick to get there by bus. The facilities were clean and spacious, which I really appreciated. The kitchen was well-equipped with tableware, and there was a supermarket nearby, making it convenient to cook meals. What I remember most is the host. Thinking I was traveling on foot, they drove me to the airport bus stop. I accidentally lost my passport on my way to the airport, and I was deeply touched by their continued support in finding it at the airport and bus terminal. Thanks to them, my memories of New Zealand have become even better. I would love to visit again.

One of the best places I have stayed at in a long time, so this was a repeat visit. At the time I booked for my cousin and I, even weeks out, it was a busy time in Christchurch and accommodation was limited. I ended up booking through one of those other sites, which was a mistake, as they did not pass on we wanted a twin room and we ended up with a double. It was getting on into the evening by the time we arrived and Rick had one other room left, which he then offered to my cousin, to make up for the mistake the other booking site had made. We went out site seeing the next day and when we returned, the queen bed in the original room, had been made into two singles. The mistake was not of Rick’s doing, but he went right out of his way to make it right and make our stay a good one. The rooms are clean, quiet and spacious with excellent facilities and I will be booking to stay here again soon.
