Absolutely fantastic motel! Extremely clean, kitchenette, comfortable beds. The cafe in the lobby is really great, with excellent customer service. We only stayed for one night between arriving in Christchurch and picking up our camper van, but we would absolutely stay again. The staff was so helpful in providing a late checkout so that we could bring the camper van to the motel to pack up instead of hauling everything to the rental office. This is a motel, not a resort hotel, as a motel it is a 10/10! Couldn’t have asked for better amenities!

    We stayed in the lodge rather than the tree houses. Fantastic accommodation with wonderful attention to detail, and great facilities such as a large spa bath, gas fireplace. Breakfast and dinner were included, and these were excellent. Great views back towards the kaikoura range, and a 15 minute walk will get you down to the beach for more fabulous views. The Lodge arranged whale watching for us, and were very helpful in answering any queries we had. Would definitely stay again.

    Christchurch is a comfortable city to visit.

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.

    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.

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!

    We loved the French village vibe.

    We loved the French village vibe. The shops and cafes are lovely. At The Brasserie, I mentioned it was my husband’s 70th birthday and the owner brought out a caramel slice with a candle! Loved walking along the waterfront and enjoyed a short bush walk with views, near the lighthouse. The Tini House is in a superb setting right by the water and also great gin cocktails and pizza. We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Ma Maison with a lovely waitress. Had a superb wine tasting at Caldera Estate with oysters and a freshly baked seed loaf with olive oil and herb butter. Lovely staff, especially our French waitress, Solene. The bakery in the village bakes delicious bread daily, and the butchery has superb meat products and an excellent variety of deli items. Had a great pizza lunch at French Farm Estate and enjoyed chatting with the friendly family who own it.
