This is a very nice place to stay, rooms equiped with cooking facilities and utensils, everything necessary for short and longer term stays, including a laundry room.
Rooms are kept very clean and weekly cleaning is offered by staff.
I have currently been here 1 month with my dog after losing my job and home and the staff have done exceptional in making sure all guests are welcomed and have a comfortable stay.
Very animal friendly which is hard to find!
I would recommend AAA Northland's to anyone needing a place to stay with a dog. Ground floor units do have sufficient outdoor space for your animals needs with also a shared garden space for upstairs residence.
Walking distance to parks, library and shopping malls with easy access to the rest of Christchurch via motorways!
Definately deserves a higher star rating!
Thank you AAA Northland's!

This is a great budget friendly place, the rooms are a bit run down, but the new owners are really friendly and helpful and they are working hard to upgrade the place and create an awesome stay for the guests. We stayed here for a few weeks whilst we were waiting for our rental to become available and the owners went out of their way to accommodate us at short notice. We especially loved the free washer in the guest laundry (you will need $4 in coins for the dryer though).

Rooms were clean, modern and fresh. I had everything I needed for my stay. Location was great for what I was travelling for. Overall for what I paid, the room exceeded my expectations for the 8 night stay I was there. I just wish I had a few more cooking utensils to make things easier. I also had dogs with me which I felt comfortable having inside the room. The hotel owners were friendly and helpful when I needed it.
However....
My room was located next to a young couple who are long term "tenants" from the discussions that were had.
The first few nights were fine, however as my stay progressed they got more and more disruptive to my stay. I think I maxed 2 hours sleep 6 of the 8 nights. I heard volatile fights, I had them partying and people coming and going until 3am in the morning. They even did loud vacuuming or watched the tv loudly in the middle of the night. It got the point where I couldn't use the backyard of the room due their dogs. One night they left at 8:30 pm and didn't return until 1am in the morning leaving their back door open and dogs loose. The only time I could use the backyard was at 5:30am in the morning and as soon as they heard me up and out there the door to their room opened and I had to bring my dogs back in. We also believe that they may have tried to enter our room through the internal doors one day as the door had been pushed in. Thankfully I had a dog crate blocking it so nobody could get through.
So would I stay here again? If I was in that same room - no!
