Amazing experience. Super cool system with check-in and online keys - loved it (never had this anywhere before). Super friendly stuff. Great central location and close to the bus station. Good bonus - got a free update for a king suit with a beautiful view. Super clean and absolutely stunning design. Definitely recommend and will stay here again.

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.

Gorgeous city, we were only there for a pitstop but will spend two nights there on our way home. So pretty, lovely houses and buildings. Lots of grass/trees etc. Our experience with take away foods wasn't great, I think we are too spoiled living in Melbourne. Also groceries and food int he supermarket were SO expensive, which we had not expected. But a lovely city and friendly people.

Lots of 'view' at Lake Tekapo, but things to do as well! The Haka House Hostel was very clean and comfortable. And private for a dormitory ! Blinds around the bed meant that even though i was sharing a room with 3 others, it felt like i was in a wee room of my own. Great kitchen facilities, comfy lounge with the best view!

Twizel was an area for farming & sheep grazing until the NZ Govt decided to connect all the Alpine Lochs via a series Canals & Power Plants to create a Massive Hydro Power Scheme in the late 60's. It took nearly 20 years, but at the completion of the Power Project the Village of Twizel was established & the Power scheme workers & residents wanted the town to remain. Luckily they won the day & Twizel became part of The MacKenzie County Council set up & is now a Tourist Mecca for Alpine Enthusiasts. A great place to base yourself whilst visiting Mount Cook/Aoraki & the surrounding Ben Ohau Valley Region. Twizel still has that quaintness of a small Alpine Village, a quality that seems to have been lost in other nearby Tourist Meccas.

It was not the best time to visit what would normally be a lovely alpine village, due to a recent major storm event which felled a large number of trees. All the cycling and walking tracks in the forest were closed. We also had trouble with some driving, due to road closures not identified on websites. I enjoyed the thermal pools, despite it being wet at the time. The heating pools kept you warm and there was some shelter in the rain. I was glad to get a good discount on standard entry. It snowed whilst we were there, and it was very scenic seeing the big peaks snow covered in late October. We walked through light snow in the nearby Lewis Pass. We enjoyed some nice food in local cafes and assembled a healthier meal from a trip to the local 4 Square. I would like to come back when the tracks are reopened.

Timaru is a delightful town set in mid Canterbury, and is strategically located so one can enjoy day trips inland. The town itself is prosperous. Caroline Bay is a delight, and has been developed to be a destination for families in particular. There are a range of eateries to cater for different tastes and pockets! An interesting range of cultural attractions worth viewing too.

Mount Cook Village is a great location if you are planning to do some walks in the area. We did the Hooker Valley Track, Sealy Tarn Track, and the Tasman Glacier View after which we were exhausted and travelling to another location would have been a bit much. Staying at the village was the best decision. At night you can travel slightly out to get the most exceptional views of stars and in the morning you wake up to unbelievably beautiful views of mountains. If you are lucky you might just get some snow.
