This brand new boutique hotel is situated in 100 years old stone building which was part of the original University of Canterbury and is now the Christchurch Arts Precinct. The rooms were not huge but big enough for us as a couple. the beds were fabulous and the staff were attentive, supportive and hospitable. Access to little extras like tea and coffee in the Library and a continental breakfast in the conservatory made our stay superb. Dominic, the manager, gave us a tour of the establishment and was forever available to assist with any of our needs. The Arts Precinct has galleries, a wine bar and a cafe and these facilities just added value. We were a 5 minute walk to the centre of Christchurch and a pub was just around the corner. The Botanical Gardens were also just down the road. We can't recommend this hotel highly enough and we will return to stay.

As our first stop in Christchurch, this accommodation not only has the best location in city with its beautiful surroundings, also has one of the most charming hosts! My dad and I were so tired after taking long flights, but they gave us early check-in that we were both soo grateful. The room is like home itself(but a more cleaner and artistic one) and the bath water pressure was soo comforting. Highly recommended to anyone who vivid Christchurch. 非常可爱又舒适的体验！房东很好，推荐～

    We booked a cabin for 3 nights. Us and our 2yr old and 4yr old. The cabin was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. It has a lovely little deck area then onto a lawn which was perfect for the children. A playground in the main camping area also fab. Toilets and showers really close. Everything was clean and the owners are lovely. We had such a great time.

    I adore Lake Tekapo. Views for days. Good hot pools. Peaceful. A decent serious hike up Mt John to the Observatory Cafe or an easier one up to Cowes Lookout, both with amazing views. I've been going for years - still small but a good supermarket now and more eateries. It is getting busier and pricey, both accommodation and eateries. On the road to Queenstown so an easy stopover. Go with a car if you can - a side trip into Aoraki Mt Cook and walks up the Hooker Valley are worth it.

    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.

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.
