The Observatory Hotel Christchurch
Hotel in Christchurch City Center, Christchurch
Located in Christchurch, a 3-minute walk from Canterbury Museum, The Observatory Hotel Christchurch has accommodations with a fitness center and private parking. This is a fantastic hotel that ticks all the boxes for comfort, customer service and a sense of luxury. The staff were fantastic and made us feel very welcome. The bed was amazing and so was the shower. We also loved how the hotel was decorated; lots to see (artwork, books, etc... not your standard hotel lobby) and the location was perfect for us: short walking distance to everything in Christchurch center. In the same courtyard as the hotel you can find a wine bar which is a lovely place to spend an evening. I cannot think of a single thing that I would suggest to change in this hotel. Our stay was simply perfect.

Hotel in Christchurch City Center, Christchurch
Located in Christchurch, a 12-minute walk from Canterbury Museum, The Mayfair has accommodations with a fitness center, private parking, a restaurant and a bar. They upgraded us to a fabulous huge suite. Barista coffee included as well as snacks and a drink. Modern. Beautiful furniture.
Sudima Christchurch City
Hotel in Christchurch City Center, Christchurch
New in 2019, this 5-star boutique hotel is ideally located on Victoria Street in the city of Christchurch, among 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!

Exceptional location against the hills looking across the golf course to the ocean. Idyllic night sky with mist drifting over the mountains. Jen and Warren are fabulous hosts. Jen made us two reservations at wonderful restaurants the Strawberry Tree and Zephyr. I am sure without her wizardry we would not have got into these great places. The next day Jen made us a Jen gin and tonic. She could be an honorary Canadian as it was exactly as we make them at home. Koura Bay Golf resort is an outstanding home away from home. The rooms luxurious spotless well appointed and so quiet. We would highly recommend Koura Bay for all travelers and particularly if you are looking for a golf resort.

Akaroa on the Beach
Akaroa
From $139 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.

A Canterbury gem, truly a great experience all the way around. Amazing property with immaculately clean rooms, garnsihed with lemon water and New Zealand chocolate. Our host Jasmine was incredible from start to finish with a world class breakfast of granola, berries, eggs, bacon, avocado and home grown tomatoes. Bed was super comfortable and check in was quick and easy. We'll be back soon!

From $40 per nightThe Gladstone Hotel is an old girl who has given much to the local community over many long years.
