Bella Vista Motel Ashburton

A good place for a weary traveler to rest, the rooms are clean, comfy, good shower pressure, good, safe and free off street parking. Friendly and obliging hosts, meets the need for the traveler and in a good location on the main street on the north end of the town.

Absolutely amazing! We called super late and not expecting to be able to get a room. He let us take a room downstairs and to sort everything in the morning. Plenty of on-site parking with plenty on the road if need be. The room was super clean, bed comfortable, quiet area even though in the main drag. Good shower pressure and hot hot water after a long day.

It was a pleasant stay. Easy to find and near town. We arrived late, we phoned ahead and let them know and they were not fazed. Organised things for us. Restful sleep, nice ambience. Had breakfast nearby, then on our way. Easy access to get onward to Christchurch.

When you stay several times at Bella Vista Motels you know what to expect. Our room on second floor was rather small for two. Luckily we don't needed to take our luggage out of car - there is not space for them. Friendly manager. Clean room, comfortable beds (double and single) and functional bathroom (but shower very slippery). The biggest issue is very heavy traffic day and night (SH 1). We needed ear plugs...and it was not for us possible to sleep windows open (there was very hot day in Asburton). There is a local restaurant and Robert Harris café within walking distance. Bella Vista is not in the city center.

Absolutely 💯 hosts. Lovely clean rooms, wonderful hot spa bath 🛁. Comfortable beds with plenty of room a spread out. Affordable for a family of 5. Wonderful continental breakfast. They are super helpful and really caring. When we come back we will be staying again.

Greeted warmly by the manager who dealt with the formality of checking in and receiving payment. The room was located on a second-floor level furthest from the Main Road on which the Motel is located. The size of the room was adequate, with a large comfortable king-size bed taking up most of the available space. There was also a singular chair available which meant (being a couple) one of us had to sit on the bed to watch a wall (but non-adjustable) wall-mounted television. The room had plenty of lighting, which was essential given the lack of daylight able to penetrate. Heating was also provided, and essential. A large amount of complimentary tea/coffee was provided along with a jug (which needed to be filled through the spout as the top appeared to be unopenable). The bathroom was of an adequate size. Heating here, however, was entirely ineffective. Complimentary toiletries consisted of a handwash pump which was almost non-functioning and shower gel which was so diluted or ineffective that obtaining a lather was next to impossible. Resorted to using one’s own to achieve a sense of cleanliness. The shower pressure itself was, however, particularly good despite the difficulty of adjusting the nozzle. Despite the room’s location, there was still a considerable amount of road noise being able to be heard from the main Road. Its location is a little distant from the main township although there is a restaurant within 10 minutes' walk that provides a discount to those staying at the Motel. Okay for a night’s stay.
