- From US$842.22 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.5Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 46 reviewsBreakfast and dinner are included in the rate, and the food was always beautifully presented, of high quality and nothing was too much trouble if changes were requested; local produce was featured and freshness evident; staff were welcoming and friendly, always happy to make your stay comfortable and pleasant; the tree house accommodation was spectacular, views to the sea, views to the snow covered mountains, all amenities provided, with fresh cookies daily and complimentary minibar with local produce - extra comfortable beds, lovely soft large robes to fit even larger people, a lovely large deep acrylic bath with supplied candles and a heated bathroom floor, smart curtaining to isolate bathroom area, bedroom area, an electric gas heater as well as reverse cycle air conditioner for heating - at times we were too warm, although outside was very cold especially at night. Modern facilities such as smart TV, smart toilet, smart lighting, etc., made the accommodation a joy to experience. No sensation of other guests at all. So private, and quiet. Watching the deer in the adjacent paddock running in the wind was entertaining, and watching the snow get lower over the few days we were there was nice.Guest review byDiannaAustralia

Lots to see and do in Christchurch.
Lots to see and do in Christchurch. We had 2 full days to explore and managed to see/do the hop-on/hop-off tram, punting on the Avon, the gondola (plus walk from the top down to Lyttleton), the earthquake museum, the cardboard cathedral, New Regent St, Riverside Market and a stroll around the beautiful botanic gardens. Ran out of time to visit the Art Gallery and Willowbank Wildlife Park which were on our list.Guest review byCarolynAustralia - 4.0

I have been Late Tekapo 3 times, it is more expensive than it was. My recommendation is, stargazing is the only reason to make you stay in Lake Tekapo. Otherwise you could find a better and less expensive accomodation nearby.Guest review byAnonymousAustralia - 10.0

My husband and I have been coming to Twizel for several years now. My husband comes for the fishing and I for the photography. We have stayed in all seasons. This time it was July middle of winter. Didn't catch any fish but I got some great photos. Had a lovely meal out at Poppies. Would recommend them. We were disappointed with our accommodation, but it didn't ruin our stay in Twizel.Guest review byUdenNew Zealand - 10.0

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.Guest review byWaldoNew Zealand - 10.0

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.Guest review byMarkNew Zealand - 10.0
Opuke Thermal Pools & Spa are a must see, must do.
Opuke Thermal Pools & Spa are a must see, must do. World class! The mountains are beautiful. If you have transport, close by is Ashburton, Lake Coleridge and much more. The information centre in Methven, "I-Hub" is a wealth of information and things to do. Off the beaten track, an alive, looked after, vibrant small town NZ with genuine charm and a smile. My wife and I loved it, we will be back.Guest review byStevenNew Zealand - 10.0
A unique and beautiful little town.
A unique and beautiful little town. We spent 3 days there and felt that was the right amount of time. The food was great - there's a beautiful French bakery in town and the salmon sold at the butchery was amazing! I also recommend The cake shop - it's a unique little place that serves beautiful cakes and tea in old school teapots and teacups. Alpacas were great too, my daughter loved feeding them. Akaroa Dolphin tours run a great tour as well and there's a dog on the boat! The local cinema is also a cute and unique experience - it was very nice. Overall great little town and very friendly locals, recommend for a long weekend away :-)Guest review byKellyNew Zealand - 8.0
