Top Canterbury Hotel Reviews

Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had wanted to stay at Mt Cook resort but it was booked out so we chose the nearest location (60 kms away) at Twizel. There was a paucity of accommodation of what we wanted and we eventually opted with some trepidation for on-site accommodation at the Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park. We had expected a very spartan arrangement but what a surprise. We had one of their 8 motel units. It was the best such unit we had had on our trip. Very spacious, suitably equipped, lovely outlook on the lawn and lake. The park had a superb barbecue area and a sauna (we did not use). Management was really convivial with the manager Tony and his support Britany very helpful. The other surprise was the town of Twizel. We had expected a one horse town with just a general store and a pub. We were wrong. It had fully developed market place with multiple shops including two supermarkets, several restaurants and a great pub in a very relaxed atmosphere thanks to abundant parking. So overall we had an enjoyable time and also got to see Mt Cook."

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"BreakFree On Cashel is a great choice if you’re looking for centrally located accommodation in Christchurch at a very reasonable price. The hotel is right in the heart of the city, with tons of dining and shopping options within easy walking distance. It’s also extremely convenient for public transportation, just a short walk from the central bus hub and tram stops, and only two blocks from the new stadium. I stayed for six nights and found the room comfortable, particularly the wonderful bed and great shower. My room was an internal room with no windows, which was quite small and would likely be a tight fit for two people travelling with luggage. Something to keep in mind when booking. Breakfast was good, although the selection became a little repetitive over six mornings. Laundry facilities are conveniently available on three floors, which is a nice bonus for travellers on longer trips. Overall, a very good value hotel in an excellent location. Comfortable, convenient and affordable. I’d happily stay here again!"

Sudima Kaikoura

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodations were convenient and top notch with a free car park behind the hotel. The reception staff were welcoming and delivered friendly professional and personalized service. Our room was a king with ocean view and was very comfortable and absolutely beautiful. There is a nice sparkling clean pool available with comfortable poolside seating. The bar and restaurant had great happy hour specials which we took advantage of and followed with a nice local fish dinner expertly prepared. We were very pleased and will definitely return and highly recommend."
