This place is generally an amazing hostel. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable despite sharing it with 7 other people (unfortunately one person was so selfish when I arrived, they put most of their belongings on the floor, barely leaving space for anyone to put their suitcase). My room had a bathroom inside, which was very useful and convenient. It is located very conveniently next to the local bus hub, and within walking distance to most of the inner city attractions. The staff were helpful and easy to find despite most of the guest access were done through an app. The kitchen was well-equipped, and there were 2 vending machines selling a wide range of stuffs, from snacks to more substantial instant meals, and some electronics and other necessities as well. The laundry facility was great and can be paid for using a payment card, and it was quite easy to operate.

The location was close to the Christchurch International Terminal, ideal as our flight arrived after midnight. We received both room and breakfast upgrades, which were greatly appreciated. Thank you. Offers of help from the reception staff during our 01h00 check-in were welcomed. Breakfast was excellent. Thanks for the service and non-dairy omelette.

I loved everything about the property! In fact, I would’ve chosen it and stayed here for the four days of my trip to southern island if I had known it was so wonderful and it would be enough for my trip to NZ. It’s has the best location in the small town of Tekapo and it is in walking distance to major scenic lookouts and restaurants. It has the best views that picture what paradise could be like.

    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.

    Central Christchurch (NZ's second largest city) is ideal for strolling around on a sunny day. It's situated on a picturesque river with beautiful Botanic Gardens and Hagley Park within easy reach. (Stunning blooming flowers Sept-Oct.) There are plenty of good eateries and it's awesome to see the modern shopping areas and facilities that have resurfaced over the last few years.

    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.

    Charming little town with an amazing bakery called "A La Baguette". Plenty of other wonderful shops to browse through and find the perfect gift. Full of history re French settlement in 1840 and British settlement in 1850. It's a really fun drive there too - endlessly zigzagging roads that showcase incredible vistas at each tight turns. Lots of walks in the area too for all levels. I visited in September when it was cool but sunny; I'm sure it must be a bustling place to visit in the Summer months.
