From £72 per nightEverything!!! Especially after we stayed at Chch central hotel that was too expensive tried to make money for every little adding thing. Your motel was the best place we’ve ever stayed!! Loved it!!! It was crazy storm around Canterbury on the day and we were the only one luckily got to Twizel and they updated the accommodation for us. So flexible and open mind compared to posh stingy hotel in Chch. Also they were happy for our new kitten to stay and he loved it!! Thank you so much for been so lovely to us!! It was a lovely to stay.

Akaroa on the Beach
Akaroa
From £108 per nightThe view is utterly stunning. I could not stop taking photos, as the light changed, and impressed me all over again. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed the space and variety of places to sit to read when not distracted by the view. The weather all over NZ was atrocious, so we went with plenty to keep us entertained, but none of it needed. While the rest of Canterbury shivered and dealt with the rain and gale force winds, we strolled about Akaroa spotting birds and enjoying mild winter sun.

Gladstone Hotel

From £31 per nightThe Gladstone Hotel is an old girl who has given much to the local community over many long years. The room was clean, the bed very comfortable, the bathroom facilities excellent and a bonus was the continental breakfast. Always enjoy my time there, but having been through the Canterbury earthquakes, always say a prayer that one wont hit whilst staying!
