The breathtaking views - Snow capped mountains during the winter and even durinf summer the surroundings are very picturesque The vibrancy of the town - Hive of tourist activity which creates a great vibe Excellent dining . Small town yet many choices of cuisines, most of what we went to with extremely delicious food that we would not hesitate to have again A good base for travelling to other parts of South Island
It's a gorgeous little town, at the edge of South Island. If u r coming from north island in a ferry, Picton seems like the Monaco of New Zealand. With yatchs parked as far as you can see. For dinner, go to Cafe Cortado and try the Lamb shank, with some local brews.
Queenstown is a tourist dependent town. It pays to shop around a bit for places to eat. With all tourist type towns anywhere in the world, they dependent upon getting their hands in your wallet. The cheese and wine places on the edge of town deal in silly money and depend upon the mug of the month dropping $70 for some cheese and wine that a similar product in the supermarket is $15. The views are magnificent. Roads on the South Island make getting here difficult .
+ It seems that people in Invercargill are much friendlier than the rest from South Island. - Parking for free in the city is impossible, but it's quite common in bigger cities.
Queenstown may be the most scenic spot in New Zealand. It is the adventure centre in the South Island, any single adventure sport you can imagine can be done there, it depends only on your will and your physical abilities.
Christchurch was our entry point to a 2 week tour of the South Island. We were only there 2 nights and should have taken another day to explore more. We loved The Sunday Market...a nice mix of food carts, crafts and “stuff” Victoria Street was a nice place for upscale shopping and lunch with a nice band playing. We also drove through the tunnel and saw some spectacular views! Would have liked to have spent more time exploring that area.
Bear in mind we had miserable weather as a cyclone bore down on the South Island, but Methven didn’t shine as a destination for us. We did have a nice lunch at a little cafe across from a grocery store—I think it was called Primo Cafe. The iSite staff was approachable, but not as welcoming as we encountered elsewhere. We were misinformed as to which restaurants were serving lunch, and her directions to a post box led me to nothing I could identify as a place to mail my letters. I gather it is a ski destination, or very scenic in the fall. I would visit our B&B again as a lovely place to stay, but would have to find local activities before arriving if I came again. Our plans had been to spend time outdoors, and the weather spoiled that. The town was quiet. Parking was very easy.
Picton is a great little town situated in the heart of some of the most spectacular scenery on the South Island with heaps of outdoor adventures right there too. We love Picton.
Owaka is truly a small town. However, it’d make a great base to explore the areas around Dunedin and southern locations for nature,such as, waterfalls, hiking, Caves, Sea lions, penguins, etc. It is along the Southern Scenic Route that you truly should not miss. Also, It has a wonderful restaurant called the Lumber Jack. The outside does not do it justice. Just the woodwork alone is worth a trip inside. Although the dinner is a little pricey, the food was some of the best we had in all New Zealand, both North and South Islands. I had the Lamb roast and I never had better. My husband loved the Battered Blue Cod and my daughter loved the pan fried blue cod. Memorable!
The South Island of New Zealand is a truly a magical destination for an amazing adventure! Christchurch City is small and quaint with nice shopping areas. Remember it is in a major rebuilding phase from the big earthquake 7-8 years ago. The parks and museums are very nice. But the best part of New Zealand is to get out and drive. The scenery is awesome!
This is probably the nicest accommodation in Hokitika. It is a very modern renovation of the old fire station. There are units on two levels. The unit was nicely furnished and reasonably well equipped. As we are finding on this South Island tour there is a very loose and broad definition of kitchenette. This unit had a small fridge, sink, microwave (with various cooking vessels to be used), a kettle and a toaster. There is no hob or electric fry pan. We had to get a bit creative the night we cooked in.
Twizel
It’s really clean and comfortable house in the town. The heating system was good though but only in lounge area. Cozy and comfortable bed as well as had all the facilities. It was fully furnished with all equipments. We really enjoyed our stay. It’s in the central of all attractions around. It’s free Wifi was really fast and easy to connect. As it was my parents first time trip in new Zealand and specially in South Island, they loved it and had great time.
Kaikoura
Stayed here for one night during our road trip from north island to south island. The motel was off the main highway and really easy to find. We booked a studio apartment and I think we were probably given a family room as it was huge with 2 double beds. The kitchenette had all the basics you need (fridge, stove, microwave) for a one night stay or even a week (exploring the area). The motel was a 3mins drive into the centre.
Kaikoura
First Light Kaikoura is a self contained apartment with its own entrance on a bluff above Kaikoura. It is very clean and comfortable, we loved the views from the balcony. Tracy, Murray and their daughter are excellent hosts and really nice people. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to stay at First Light Kaikoura and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kaikoura, which should be on everybody’s South Island Itinerary.
Nelson
99.9% perfect. Relieving Managers did all they could to sort out a small wifi problem and it was just a modem reset. Then excellent wifi. Bed perfect, spotlessly clean, lazyboy type chairs, big TV... the list goes on. Away for 2 weeks travelling and had different accommodation most nights, but this was by far the best anywhere in out time in the south island. Would stay again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Palazzo.
Christchurch
After touring around the South Island on our motor bikes we had stayed in an array of accommodation, however, the Fitzroy Apartments was above and beyond any accommodation we had stayed in for the price range. Would recommend to anyone. On arrival the receptionist explained lift was out of order but she made sure our motor bike parking was on the same level as apartment. Excellent rating from us.
Cardrona Hotel is unique! One of the oldest hotels in South Island which has been tastefully updated and is located in a beautiful spot. Our room was very comfortable and well equipped. Although we arrived early it was soon ready. The restaurant is first class and the garden is lovely. If you are touring South Island put Cardrona on your itinerary, you won’t be disappointed!
I travel a lot for work and I have to say The Chamberson on is one of the best hotels on the South Island. Really nice design, always clean. The beds are very comfy with really good pillows. The location is great, there are some really good restaurants within short walking distance. I always can park in front of the hotel or at the corner, it is free from 6 pm till 9 am.
Our flight arrived in the late afternoon and this property was so conveniently located next door to Christchurch Int’l Airport and the Countdown supermarket was within a few minutes walk from the hotel, so we picked up fruits, water right there before starting our South Island road trip the following morning. Room was clean and comfortable. Recommended!
We loved this hotel. The rooms were all beautiful and we were lucky to be upgraded to a suite. There was a comfortable couch, 2 TVS, comfy bed and large bathroom. The decor was lovely and nothing we could fault. The best we stayed in during our South Island trip and way the best value. Would not stay anywhere else if we went back. Also great location.
Christchurch
This hotel was a standout in our 11 day South Island road trip. It was exceptionally clean and the beds and lines were top notch. The owners of the hotel were so kind and welcoming. And having two bedrooms and a living room were perfect for our family of four. It was a great stop between Kaikoura and Mount Cook. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Hanmer Springs
The room was very warm,under floor heating was great. Loved the decor Out of the the 4 apartments & hotels we stayed in while visiting the South Island this was the best. The receptionist gave recommendations on restaurants and no. 31 was lovely great food & atmosphere. Also had a great time at the thermal pools.
The best hotel in New Zealand we stayed while on a road trip in South Island. Great location few minutes walk to restaurant or a supermarket, beautiful park in the downtown. Property were beautiful, clean and modern room, everything in fridge and table you may need..there is swimming pool area, great staff
It was just about perfect ! We had an ocean front room on the top floor with a balcony...watched a beautiful sunset and listened to big sea waves on the beach A great situation with beach walking and lovely staff.. Thank you to them for our best stay in New Zealand's South Island
Lake Tekapo
HUGE place and all amenities covered. Fireplace is a nice touch and we were kindly given an apartment with good mountain views even if it was at the back of the resort. Beautiful place and comfortable beds, setting the standard for all hotels we've been to here in South Island.
This is definitely one of the most comfortable places we stayed in the South Island. The hotel is very well located and staff is friendly. We arrived there late night , so we were afraid of not finding a place to have a dinner. Fortunately there a cafe / bar nearby.
Te Anau
Very good service polite and courteous. Rooms were spacious, wall appointed, and very clean, neat and tidy. During the week we stayed at a number of hotels in the south Island. For service and comfort this was by far the best. I would recommend to anyone
Fabulous hotel with possibly best views of any hotel in South Island. Staff were friendly and helpful. Dinner was good. Great bar with fireplace. View from our room was amazing! Loved this hotel. Would definitely stay again. Very good value.
Arthur's Pass
Having huge mountains on both sides of the pass snow cap mountains the Keas squarking echoing through the valley n the south island ruggered wild west coast fresh cold crisp air to breathe in. New Zealand aka Aotearoa is Beautiful
Perfect - Great South Island hospitality in the time of Covid - Friendly staff, great food, handy walk to other parts of this country town. Comfy Bed, Quiet Back of the Hotel Room and safe off street parking for our rental car.
