4-Star Hotels in Canterbury, New Zealand

Booked a total of 5 rooms all under my name. 3 rooms are checking in early which is not together with me, is not allowed to check in even though it has a confirmed booking number. According to the staff, this is the hotel 's policy until they can receive verbal confirmation from the listed booking person. The location is excellent for a short stay or transfer as the hotel is just minutes away from the airport. Rooms are spacious and clean. Nearby can find fast food like McD, KFC and subway. Lone Star restaurant and bar just next to Woolworth supermarket.

Lovely hotel! very convenient and close to the city! we stayed in 2-bedroom connecting apartment for just 2 of us, so comfortable as it was spacious and the bathroom has a washing machine & dryer which works so well for our laundry! Lovely kind staff & hotel manager to, allowing us to be able check in early at 11am due to our early flight landing! Of course after earlier notification so that the hotel can get the room ready! Thank you for the hospitality & will be back here for sure if i return visiting NZ again!

The location was good and the staff were very kind. You can borrow pots and other cooking utensils by asking the staff. It was clean and nice.

The room was clean and tidy. The boss and the staff were very nice. We arrived in the morning and went to the hotel to store our luggage. We happened to meet the boss (who is Chinese). We, an old couple, did not speak well, so we asked for the boss's phone number and discussed: Can you help me call a taxi when I return to the hotel in the afternoon? The boss directly said: Call me when you need me, I will pick you up, which touched me very much. When I called, the boss was actually busy, and then he came to pick us up without saying a word, sent us back to the hotel and went out to do business. I apologized and wanted to pay for the fare, but the boss refused to accept it. Their staff is also very good. After checking in, she told us about some of the surrounding dining and entertainment. We also asked some questions. She helped us find out and told us the next morning. The most home-like place to live in New Zealand, warm and comfortable. Friends who go to Kaikoura will definitely recommend this hotel. It is very convenient to the town center, intercity bus station, whale watching, and the train station (the same place as whale watching). It can be reached in 5-10 minutes. Thank you!

The location was excellent, just a ten-minute walk from Morry Creek. The only minor hiccup was that the motel's email had the wrong room number, so it took us a few minutes to find our room. Our suite was very spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The room was well-equipped with an electric heater and electric blankets. We also tried New Zealand's 'national dish' – the chicken pie – at the convenience store just a minute's walk away. It was delicious! Definitely don't miss it, as you won't find a pie with such great value for money anywhere else on the South Island, haha.

The hotel is a ten minute walk from the city centre. It is a couple of Chinese couples who run the hotel. The hotel is a small ocean building with a history of more than 140 years. It is decorated in antique style and the rooms and bathrooms are a bit small. Western breakfast is served and free parking is available in the hotel yard.

The resort boasts an excellent location, just under a ten-minute walk to the lake. The rooms were warm and spotlessly clean, and it's very convenient for guests arriving by car. If you're into stargazing, I recommend scouting out a good spot nearby during the day – on a clear night, you'll be treated to an absolutely breathtaking display of stars!

My wife, Judith, stayed overnight in the Quest, a hotel we hadn't previously been aware of. I did have the opportunity to help her to settle there before I was needed elsewhere. I was very impressed with the cleanliness, service and extraordinary facilities that were provided, even down to washing powder for the washing machine and drier. The location could not have been better for our needs, nor the staff more helpful and welcoming. If anyone needs reasonably priced accommodation with a standard of service, cleanliness and facilities - explore this hotel.

The room decoration is very new, there is a row of bungalows at the door, facing the small garden is a two-story building. The bed was very comfortable. It is the best decoration motel we live in. The only downside is that there is a strange smell in the room, whether it is the decoration or what, I almost suffocated in the bathroom at night. It is recommended that the landlord ventilate and deodorize more. Opposite is ashburton domain Park, a big children's playground, children love it. kmart comprehensive shopping mall, new world, countdown supermarket are very close.
