Recent Reviews in Orari Bridge

ASURE Scenic Route Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful very spacious very large living and bedrooms. We slept like a baby and it was a self sufficient stay with a proper kitchen, milk stocked, coffee etc. etc. The TV were a bit outdated as they weren't connected to the Internet which could have been better but overall, fantastic property and a great overnight stayer if you are heading to Christchurch to catch a plane or have arrived in the evening at Christchurch and are heading to an alpine retreat"

Riverstone House

10/10 Excellent

"We feel that the breakfast is overrated. Sorry 😞"

Andorra Motel

8/10 Good

"This is an older property, but well maintained and updated. Friendly and efficient staff. The original fittings in the kitchen and bathroom in the 2br unit made me smile - memories of my family home:)"

The Vicarage Geraldine

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room and right in the middle of town. Perfect spot."

Four Peaks Motel

8/10 Good

"A lovely property with all you need on site. Laundry also available. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice location and close to town."

Holiday House with Style - Geraldine Retreat

8/10 Good

"Great size living, dining and kitchen area. All well equipped. Easy communication. Wood burner didn’t appear to be for use. Would stay again. Recommended."

Tui Haven - country escape in Geraldine

10/10 Excellent

"This was the cutest little cottage, shared on the property with the owners house - totally separate and they were so so lovely and totally gave us our space. In the fields we saw sheep, cattle and even deer near the forest. We came inside and had a beautiful combustion log fire. The cabin was warm and snug in no time. Big comfy bed. Cooked a yummy roast (bought from Christchurch before we headed to the cottage). Owners supplied breakfast with fresh eggs and bread for toast. Yum. Absolutely loved our stay. Hint, best to bring your dinner & drinks as once you are there, you don’t want to leave and not a lot in the closest town."

Geraldine Motels

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Copper John, close to the Ski Fields here in the McKenzie. Quiet and private.

8/10 Good

"Beautiful location, great quiet spot to unwind and relax. Stunning outlooks and rural overview - wonderful!Over all was a well presented well equiped space. It was a little let down with finding old rubbish in bins and old food in the fridge (previous people). Also no dishwashing liquid (only an empty container) and no tea towels.I can see why so many people live this space. Would certainly come back again."
