9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)

Clean room, staff was friendly. The blackout curtains blocked most of the lights outside. Nice stay in Christchurch, and convenient to walk to city center and drive to airport.

8.4/10 Very Good! (23 reviews)

Beautiful rooms and communal areas. The lobby and courtyard are beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. AC/heater was easy to use, as well as the spa bath. Really happy with our stay here, was well worth the value for money and would recommended staying here again.

Popular places to visit

Absolutely stunning! We visited on the opening weekend and it was great. Powdery open trails, get trails for all levels too. Not busy by any standard, and the views from the top are breathtaking.

Advice: It is in a basin where the sun doesn't get to much so dress warmly! And I would recommend a 4 wheel drive as the road is very steep gravel :)

Other than that - just the essentials. Snacks, and a camera!
