Akaroa on the Beach
Akaroa
From US$138 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.

Bed was super comfortable and check in was quick and easy. We'll be back soon!

From US$40 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!

Pinedale Lodge & Apartment
Methven
From US$110 per nightWell located for trips into the Canterbury high country. Apartment is well insulated so did not need to use heating despite cold nights for this time of year. Very quiet.

Friends who had previously stayed at the hotel strongly recommended that we do the same. They were correct. The hotel, which was a government building, is located in the center of Christchurch. The room was outstanding - 2 floors with all amenities. There is a wonderful pub in the main lobby area, not officially part of the hotel, that was excellent. We would go there again.
