Sudima Christchurch City 5 stars

Hotel in Christchurch City-Centre, Christchurch

New in 2019, this 5-star boutique hotel is ideally located on Victoria Street in the city of Christchurch, amongst a variety of cafes, restaurants and bars. Our stay at the hotel was fantastic from start to finish. We received a lovely welcome dessert on arrival as it was our honeymoon; the room was fantastic in terms of facilities and overall quality/comfort; the nearby gym and complimentary on-site laundry were a great convenience; and the food in the restaurant was also great. Most importantly, the reception manager Abhishek saved our day by helping to defrost our car so we could get to the train station on time, and was good-humoured even while we were very stressed. A top-class hotel all round!

Poshtel

Hotel in Oamaru

Boasting a shared lounge, bar and views of city, Poshtel is situated in Oamaru, 38 km from Moeraki Boulders. The accommodation features luggage storage space and free WiFi throughout the property. we had an apartment with a separate entry and it was awesome. The character of the place was great, having kept the vault door in the bedroom made it really unique. The decor in the lobby and the historical artefacts of Oamaru was really interesting. The breakfast concept also suited us very well. All in all, it’s a very well designed boutique hotel with very nice and attentive staff. Definitely worth the stop.

Grand Suites Lake Tekapo 4 stars

Hotel in Lake Tekapo

Grand Suites Lake Tekapo is set in Lake Tekapo. Featuring a terrace, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The apartment was spotlessly clean. So much so we thought we were the first guests to stay in it. Really comfortable, great view of the lake and the night sky (fantastic to see this in this area). Everything was there to make your stay hassle free. Andrea at reception was so helpful and friendly. Highly recommended
