Ashburton was a short stop over 1 night stay on our way to Dunedin and further south. I would recommend Kelly’s cafe on the Main Street. I probably wouldn’t return to Ashburton unless I was just passing through. The beach had the most amazing flat round smooth stones if you are into stone painting at all.

Perfect for the overnight stop to do a local meal and a show at the event centre. But I would be more than happy to stay for a few days at this quiet, well-set-up large motel. With more programs to work from on the TV than most homes anytime.

You get what you pay for. Definitely the place we will stay each time we pass through, it’s not perfect but it’s better than other places. Nice staff. Nice room, I wish the cleanliness was a little better but aside from that a convenient place to stay.

I liked the fact that everything I needed was on either of the main streets (both the shops street and the by-pass road). People are pleasant and helpful, and Ashburton doesn't feel too big or touristy. A great place to stay if you want to use as a base to explore other activities in the area.

We stopped here to see the Aviation Heritage Museum. It was a great place to stop and rest prior to travelling into Christchurch. We found it a very friendly, slower paced area that allowed us to rest before the city exposure.
