Northwood Motor Lodge is a 4-star motel on the edge of Christchurch, only 8km from the airport. The motel offers modern, air-conditioned accommodation with free Wi-Fi.

Guests have a choice of open-plan studios or larger apartments which have a separate living room. All of the units have kitchenettes, a large LCD TV and DVDs can be placed in the rooms on request. All rooms are serviced daily. The hosts were the best. They were very helpful and friendly while we were staying at their property. The service was exceptional. The location is very close to the airport. They gave us a pickup from the airport and sent us to pick up our rental cars. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and quiet even though it is close to the state highway. The photos are accurate. Highly recommend.

46 km from Mt. Dobson, Starry Lodge is situated in Lake Tekapo and features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. The property has mountain views. The apartment has private entrance.

Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower and a hair dryer. An oven, a microwave and toaster are also offered, as well as a kettle. At the apartment complex, units have bed linen and towels. Gorgeous unit and tastefully designed. A lot of people have pointed out that it offers little privacy due to the many glass panels and windows but we didn't find it a problem as there were ample blinds in all the rooms and shared spaces. The fact that each room had its own bathroom was a huge plus point. The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed to cook a simple breakfast. Location was fantastic too. Easily the nicest place we stayed at during our trip around the South Island.

Featuring river views, Sunset Chalet offers accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 45 km from Mt. Dobson. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi.

This chalet comes with 1 bedroom, a satellite flat-screen TV, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, and a living room. Guests can take in the views of the mountain from the balcony, which also has outdoor furniture. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. We had the best 3 nights at Sunset chalet, perfect walking distance into the centre around 8 min walk. Very homely. Perfect for 2 people. Lovely little touches all throughout the chalet. We loved the outdoor area for a drink and eating our homemade meals. I would 100% stay here again if I was in this area. The air con was good if it got too hot, but it stayed nice and cool even without the aircon in the heat. Private parking on the driveway. Great value for money.

Set in Kaikoura in the Canterbury region, with Kaikoura Beach nearby, Lemon Tree Lodge offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

The lodge offers a seating area with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with free toiletries, a hairdryer and shower. A fridge is also offered, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. The room was airy with two separate sliding doors giving access to the garden and decks with tables and chairs for dining outdoors. The room got the morning sun. The bathroom was spacious, and two glass walls of the shower opened right up. The breakfast was laid out for the guests from 8 to 9am, and included mostly breads and sugary things and dairy, which is typical for European breakfasts. I don't eat sugar or dairy, but managed to find enough: boiled eggs, fresh fruit and cold cuts.
