I always love to stay in new motels, linens still smell new, kitchen appliances are stainless. Bella Vista is a new motel in Ashburton. We stayed in a one-bedroom unit and was spacious enough for a family of 4 like us. Thanks to jet lag and the comfortable beds, we overslept past the check-out time at 10.00 am. The hosts, Heather and Evan were so kind and understanding and did not impose extra charges even though we finally only managed to check out at 11.15am. Conveniently located with eateries within walking distance and definitely a motel that I would recommend to those who plan to stopover in Ashburton for a good rest.
