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!
Picton
The hotel was in a really convenient location in Picton.....you could walk to anything in less than 10 minutes. The owners are new and are trying their best to spruce up the hotel which is taking a good deal of their time. They are a lovely couple who go out of their way to make you feel right at home. Everything in the hotel is spotless and squeaky clean. They also had a nice choice of breakfast items for you to start your day, We stayed here twice, once as we came on to the South Island and once as we were to leave it.
We loved everything about this hotel! It is very romantic and classy. We liked it so much after we stayed here our first night on South Island, we booked a night on our way from South Island to North Island. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to arrive a day earlier and Bruce and Martine were able to accommodate us for an additional day on very short notice. Martine and Bruce are so very gracious and we loved our stay so much we didn't want to leave.
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.
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!
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!
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.
Picton
Great location for a quick night in Picton and on to the Bluebridge ferry to Wellington the next day. Staff was great. The room was huge and there was a large jetted tub for a relaxing soak after a vigorous tour of the south island of New Zealand.
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.
Nelson
Easily the best hostel I've stayed at on the South Island. Super relaxed friendly vibe. Really nice indoor and outdoor common areas with board games and musical instruments. Unlimited reliable wifi. Free chocolate pudding in the evenings
Picton
My favorite hostel on South Island so far. Had a great stay. Clean, comfortable. Coffee, tea, cookie available anytime. Loved soup with garlic bread one night.
Wanaka
Best apartment that we stayed in our whole trip to the South Island! New and clean facilities, fully equipped with amenities. Staff was excellent!
Beautiful room, view and location
A new hotel. Good looking. Comfortable bed. Great location.
Loved the little extra touches, decor, comfortable beds, very well equipped. Pretty grounds ideal for kids too.
The sunrise on the beach right in front of our room!
Great budget place to stay. Cabins really comfy
Great view from room and balcony, breakfast and dinner restaurants are good.
The staff were really helpful and super friendly. The location and the views.
