Top Canterbury Hotel Reviews

Christchurch City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very handy location. Right in the city. Cheapest way to get there from the airport take Bus 8 only $3 and get off at Hereford St. Only 1 min walk."

Haka House Lake Tekapo

8/10 Good

"the location of the hotel is perfect, it is the closest one to the lake and the room have nice lake view. It have nice security system to protect our items. The service of the reception is really good. When we found the dryer in the laundry room is not working,they help us to get refund on the fees we pay. Yes,they have a 24 hours laundry room.but one of the dryer machine is not working,so we can only report it in the next morning."

Lakes Edge Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"The person who checked us in gave us a map, but it was to an RV spot, not the motel room. The room is nothing special - it’s functional and comfortable. What is special is the view. Looking out from the room over Lake Tekapo is spectacular. It’s an easy walk to town and to hiking trails. For the area it’s a good deal."
