Hotels With Breakfast in Canterbury, New Zealand

The family room amenities were severely lacking. I forgot to take a picture of the bathroom, but it was incredibly small – the toilet stall was like something out of an airplane, and the shower was tiny too. The room itself was long and narrow. Instead of two chairs where they could have fit, there were two beanbag chairs. The 1.5-meter bed didn't feel like 1.5 meters, and there were no nightstands; the charging plug had to go on the floor. There was no bar or coffee table; the cups and tea bags were just placed on top of the mini-fridge. Hotel parking isn't free, costing $25, unless you park on the street, but then you have to move your car by 9:30 AM. The bottom bunk of the bunk bed was so low you couldn't sit up without hitting your head. The breakfast, however, was decent. Check-out is before 10 AM, and breakfast ends at 10:30 AM at the latest.

This hotel is one of the better options in Kaikoura for whale watching. It offers free parking, and if the lot is full, you can also park for free on the roadside by the sea. The restaurant downstairs is excellent. After whale watching, we didn't want to go far, so we just had dinner there. As for the room, it's on par with domestic Quanji or Atour hotels, but not quite five-star. Still, for this area, you can't be too picky. It was clean and comfortable, which is what matters.

No one manning reception till spot on 3pm, multiple other Travellers all lining up . Seems I was upgraded to a very spacious room. The usual hotel/motel issues, walls don't have much sound absorption because everytime someone entered or left a room the whole wall moved. Overall comfortable and great value

I stayed in North south holiday park on the day of arrival and the night pre departure from Christchurch. It is located about 5 mins drive or 45 mins walk from CHC international airport. You can book their airport shuttle ($5 per pax) during operational hours or the front desk can order a taxi for you at a cheaper price. Amenities are complete and cleanliness is well maintained. The only set back is there is no eateries within short walking distance except burgerking, but not a problem if you come with a car or you can cook at their kitchen(with utensils provided)

I had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Give Christchurch. The location is fantastic—just directly opposite the beautiful Christchurch Botanic Gardens, which is perfect for a relaxing walk. Many of the main attractions are within walking distance, making it very convenient to explore the city without needing transport. Overall, a comfortable and well-located hotel. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Christchurch.

The room was very clean, similar to a high-end hotel chain like Ji Hotel or Atour in China. For New Zealand, it felt quite upscale. There's free parking, which is super convenient for those who rent a car. It's also close to both the airport and the city center.

The hotel is a simple building with thin floors and poor sound insulation. On windy nights, the whirring sound is very loud. The yard is large and parking is very convenient. There is no breakfast, but there is a public area for eating. The waiters they hired to clean the room are not up to standard. Sometimes they don't take out the garbage, sometimes they don't change the towels or floor mats, and they don't sweep or vacuum the room for several days. They can just make the bed in a perfunctory manner. I guess they are hourly workers, anyway, they are not careful.

Booked this hotel near the airport for an early morning flight the next day. Check-in and check-out were smooth and convenient. They offer a 24-hour shuttle to the airport, and even when we checked out at 3 AM to catch our flight, the front desk staff personally drove us to the airport. Very grateful for that!

Location : Good, there is a supermarket Restaurant nearby Facilities : No kitchenette , kettle and microwave, bread baker

You can check in at Achilles Motel reception next door. There is no elevator so if you have heavy luggage you have to carry it on your own if you get assigned on the second floor. Each of the room have its own parking space. Basic kitchen equipment with utensils for a light and easy meal. Overall happy for the price and bring some bath bombs if you like soaking in a hot tub.
