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.
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 .

- 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.

Owaka is truly a small town.
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!
beds were comfortable. Shower hot. Good sleep in quiet room. What else could you ask for? More personable staff. Front desk lady nice enough, but not overly so. Lots of NZ BnB folks had given us detailed info on where to eat, what to see, etc. She didn't. Maybe we were spoiled by the family-type feel of the NZ BnB owners up and down the entire west coast of South Island. This felt like a big hotel, which it is, with staff not as welcoming or social.
Cozy apartment, very nicely decorated, fully equipped kitchen, great quality linens etc – has everything a couple or family might need. Nice books and games, free WiFi was great. Great information pack supplied explaining everything we needed to know. Perfect base for skiing or a good spot to break up long distances on a South Island road trip.
This was the only place on the South Island where we got CNN on TV. Also, Internet was strong and reliable. We also found Kathy and her husband very friendly and helpful. Anchor Restaurant nearby had great seafood at reasonable prices. We also loved the quiet neighborhood...view of sailboats from our room. Easy walk to town and grocery store.
We were fortunate to find this outstanding accommodation at a time when Wanaka seemed to be fully booked up. Our stay was in the middle of our 10 day exploration of South Island and the facilities allowed us to set off with freshly laundered clothes for the rest of the trip. Wanaka itself was all that we had hope for.
The room was extremely large. It was well furnished, modern, had a spectacular view of the lake and there was parking right outside the door. Amazing stay, one of the best stays I had in the South Island. The room was also very clean and the bathroom was spacious. Would definitely recommend staying here!
Amazing start for a trip on South Island. The journey from North to South through the sounds is amazing as is, but then you check in to this gem and look out on the harbor and the sounds as well. Fantastic.
Large balcony with view, catching the afternoon sun, ideal to enjoy some food and drinks on!
First appearance on arrival a bit under whelming.But unit very comfortable and clean.The best shower we had in our whole 10 day holiday around the South Island. And the complimentary transfer to the train station was awesome. And nice and close to the city and other restaurants.Highly recommended
I have stayed in many motels all around the south island but still, I found this motel outstanding for its cleanness. I love the modern equipment in the bathroom which usually seen in Japan. The location of this motel is more than convenient. Definitely will stay again next time I go to Nelson.
Amazing private room - simple yet nicely decorated, comfortable bed, 2 pillows per person, and heater for chilly nights. Kitchen was big and well equipped. Bathrooms were always clean. Can't beat the location for the nearby walks and great views. My favorite hostel of my south island trip!
What a little piece of NZ South Island paradise.
John and Sarah are so warm and friendly
We loved the happy hour watching the day end gazing out their stunning windows with the fire burning
Breakfast was unbeatable
Thankyou so much for a great holiday memory
It’s all about location, right on the end of the South Island looking out at Stewart Island and the iconic signpost. Very clean, contemporary hotel, lovely breakfast and restaurant next door does good food, just not late dining. Spectacular views .
Easy access from Chch airport by no29 bus. Great location, clean, comfy bed and great stuff. Enough plugs, each bed has a light and a small table. Wifi works pretty good. Actually I stayed 3 times during my trip in South Island trip!:)
Beautiful accomodation with a wonderful view. Staff member Adele was very helpful. Highly recommend. Nicest accommodation during our trip around the South Island.
This was the best accommodation we had during our trip to NZ South Island. Comfortable clean and well appointed in an awesome place. Recommend it to anyone
