"Room was large and clean, underfloor heating in bathroom, and heated towel rail. Room includes a kitchenette which was well appointed. Restaurant meal was excellent and high quality, saved looking for a place to eat. Free shuttle service to and from the motel to the airport was an excellent service. Would definitely recommend this motel."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Southshore?
The best time to visit Southshore, Canterbury, is during the warmer months, particularly from December to February, for excellent beach weather and outdoor activities.
