Belle Bonne Motel

On Christchurch’s Riccarton/Sockburn fringe, a compact motel just a short drive from Riccarton Park, Riccarton Road and the University of Canterbury. Christchurch International Airport is only about 6–7 km away, with Hagley Park and local shopping close by.

A small, 10-room motel with a friendly, no-frills vibe—think kitchenette-equipped rooms, private balconies and fridges. Rooms also offer basics like TV/DVD players, showers, desks and coffee/tea makers for an easy, stay-in-place kind of comfort.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet, free on-site self-parking and a garden terrace with barbecue grills set the scene. Book tours or ask the desk to arrange transfers and car rental. Outdoor furniture and a relaxed courtyard make for easy, breezy downtime.

Laundry facilities, a safe-deposit box at the front desk and wired/wireless internet available throughout. An airport shuttle is offered for a surcharge.

Continental breakfast is available for a fee, plus rooms include coffee/tea makers and kitchenettes for DIY meals. Barbecue grills on-site and a cluster of nearby eateries—try the local Japanese tempura spots—give you options for quick bites or hearty dinners.
