As always, your facility was immaculate and you went above an beyond, even providing the right colour thread for an urgent wardrobe repair! Thank you for you assistance, and as always- we will recommend 219 on Johns to friends and family travelling through Christchurch.

Our requests/needs were met and exceeded. Totally appreciated the extra effort Bonnie and her staff made to make my Mother more comfortable in the disabled chalet. 🙂

My stay was way above my expectations. The hosts were very friendly and more than helpful. Even welcomed my German Shepherd Dog, and had a paddock where he could be to stretch his legs; I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending 219 on Johns Motel and Holiday Park, and will be doing so to my friends. Thank you!

Thank you for being so welcoming to us and our dogs, also for helping us get our trailer parked in the best spot. Being the second time i have stayed with you, your service is amazing 🙂

219 on Johns is consistently my favourite place to stay. It is so reasonably priced, lovely owners, wonderful friendly communications, clean, just overall awesome!! I LOVE it. I tell everyone how great it is and many people I know have stayed there due to this and also really enjoyed their stay.

“Your place was PERFECT. We had been stranded with nowhere to stay due to cyclone Gita but your place became available and you accommodated us far beyond our expectations – allowing us in a lot earlier than was usually expected and your facilities were the best (and the cheapest) we had stayed in in our 3 weeks in your beautiful country.
Facilities in the large cabin were 10/10. Staff welcoming, friendliness and helpfulness 10/10. I cannnot speak highly enough of how you made us feel safe and welcome which is always welcome when your travelling away from home. So thank you again !! “

Was exceptional service from the time we dropped the car with you before our stay…as we were a late check in our car keys were in the unit..fabulous and thank you very much.

219 on Johns is a wonderful place to stay. I have recommended it to many people. I love it there. The prices are so reasonable and the staff and Bronnie and Steve are just gems. Keep up the good work. Fantastic!!!

When we arrived on site, we found the unit we were going to wasn’t quite what we were expecting. Where we thought we had booked a motel unit, we instead had booked a room with beds only and shared bathroom and kitchen.(OUR FAULT) The management and staff then tried everything to put us in a motel unit, which they achieved 2 nights out of 3. No mean feat in the middle of January. We were given a complimentary package to help us out on the 3rd night, usually a charge. Then we were given a discount on the charges for the upgraded unit. One of the domestic staff even came and found us before 10am and told us the motel unit we were going into was ready for us. An excellent PR job. And it was our mistake not their’s. A huge thank you to staff and management. We will be back.

“It is always a pleasure to stay here. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Every time we stay here we feel right at home. The service at reception is always super friendly. We love it! Thank you!!!”

The cabin was more than we expected for a family of 4 and for such a reasonable price. Great facilities, lovely staff. Highly recommend this facility, especially for those travelling with children.

We have stayed at 219 on Johns multiple times now and always have a great experience. We really appreciate your help when arriving late and leaving early – so efficient and when we do see or talk to your staff they’re very friendly. Thanks again!
