The hotel is right in the center of town, not a bad restaurant downstairs. The room had an iron, hairdryer, a few towels, bath amenities and even a fridge. Unfortunately my adapters did not work, but the reception gave me two adapters for the duration of my stay.

It felt like a newly built property.
It was great for stargazing and close to Lake Tekapo.
Check-in was easy, just use the room number you received via email.
This is a very large campsite. We couldn't book other hotels at the foot of Mount Cook, so we had to choose a cabin with 10 people. The experience was unexpectedly good. The campsite was very clean and the beds were very soft. Except for the lack of toiletries, all other supplies were very complete. It is a very good choice to take a nap and go hiking. In addition, if you drive an RV, this is definitely a good campsite. We drove a small car and couldn't camp, but we also experienced the fun of the campsite. The price-performance ratio is very high, and the price does not increase during the peak season.
I had a fantastic stay at Christchurch Tasman Holiday Park! The location is perfect — close enough to the city for convenience, yet peaceful and surrounded by beautiful nature. The grounds are well-maintained, clean, and spacious, making it ideal for families, couples, or solo travelers. The facilities are excellent, with modern amenities including clean bathrooms, well-equipped kitchens, and comfortable communal areas. The staff were friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. I especially appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and the variety of accommodation options available, from powered sites to cozy cabins. Highly recommend this holiday park for anyone visiting Christchurch
Lucky enough to experience the heaviest snowstorm in Tekapo on the day we arrived in June. We had a wonderful night in the unit, it has everything you needed. Due to the snow, the management extended out check out time to 12pm instead. Leaving with a heavy heart, would definitely come back again.
Absolutely fantastic! The location is simply unbeatable, right by the lake, and our room offered direct lake views. We stayed on the second floor, and carrying our luggage up was a bit of a hassle. A room on the ground floor would have been even more convenient!
This hotel stay was truly exceptional, offering a wonderful combination of a peaceful, quiet location and top-notch amenities. The best part was the ability to gaze up at the stars through the large windows - the perfect way to end each evening.
The check-in process was seamless, with the owner providing the password to the key box ahead of time so we could access the unit with ease. Once inside, we were impressed by the large, spacious layout and the high-quality kitchen equipment.
The added touch of having two comfortable bean bag chairs for stargazing was such a lovely and thoughtful detail. And having two bathrooms was a huge plus, especially when traveling as a family.
Overall, the combination of the quiet, scenic location, well-appointed unit, and attentive host made this one of the best hotel experiences we've had. We'd absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with exceptional stargazing opportunities. It's a hidden gem!
The frying pan and pot were so old and dirty. They need to be replaced.
And the bathroom sink and kitchen drain don't drain well.
When I brush my teeth or wash my face, the water doesn't drain well and gets stuck.
I slept warmly because there was an electric blanket. When it was hot during the day, the air conditioner worked well. The staff were friendly. The proximity to Lake Tekapo, the supermarket, etc. was great. It was great to see the stars at night :-))
Very Good

YYangyang05The location is next to the road, so there will be noise at night when cars pass by quickly and the houses here are generally not soundproofed. But if the room is near the parking lot, maybe it can be improved. Everything else is perfect, because there is a living room and an open kitchen, two bedrooms (one with a single bed and one with a double bed), a separate bathroom with dry and wet areas, and a hair dryer, which is a great deal
GGuest UserWe booked a family room and it was split into two floors where the top level had the big bed and the lower level had the twin beds, which worked well for elderly travelers. The interior was stylish and clean. Kitchen was well equipped with a dishwasher and a range hood. Wish they could've provided ice. The only big downside was the parking situation where despite having a big carpark, they charge NZ$20+ extra for overnight parking.
OOtautahianI chose this hotel because of its proximity to Christchurch Airport (I arrived after midnight). For the price point and location, I got what I wanted: warm, clean, private, close to the airport. Check in and check out were both super fast.
Just a tip to anyone arriving late (this has nothing to do with the hotel): bring a snack with you. There are plenty of places to eat nearby BUT if you arrive after midnight, all the eateries are closed (except McDonald's, but only the drive thru is open at that time).
KKisstangtangThe room was clean. The facilities were average, but the accommodation was fine. A bus to the ski resort was arranged. The breakfast was average. But the breakfast in New Zealand hotels is average. Don't expect too much. Compared with the ones in China, the staff in the small town here are very friendly. I feel comfortable every day.

AAiyouyongdeyunyyIt's just a stone's throw away from the seaside. You can admire the snow-capped mountains and the sea from the balcony. It's located next to the only main road in the town. It's not far from the park and supermarket. The environment is very comfortable. The room is clean and tidy. You need to go to the reception desk of the hotel next door. After taking the key, the car was parked in the corresponding parking space downstairs, but cooking seafood was not allowed in the room for fear of too much smell!
GGuest UserPerfect location for what we needed and great view of the ocean. Reception wasn't in, but it was all prepared for us when I rang the number, so that was very helpful. It's a typical older New Brighton building, so it isn't flash, but we weren't expecting that. The balcony door wouldn't lock, the bath mat was dirty, the toaster wasn't working, but the hardest part was that you could hear people yelling outside - the bedroom window was missing part of the latch so was not very soundproof and the gusty New Brighton wind was whistling loudly through it. All that to say, I'd probably stay again if the price was right as convenience trumps here and prefer over a backpackers when there's kids.
GGuest UserThe Redwood Hotel was in a perfect location for me in Christchurch. I was here for personal reasons in that part of town (not siteseeing).
The Reception team were very accommodating to my late arrival & communicated clearly about the lock box & room number. Even had a backup scenario on the chance that I didn’t receive their earlier email. Thank you.
They also left a light and heater on in the room to make it more comfortable when I arrived.
I was able park right outside my unit (free) and managed to get a takeout meal in the attached restaurant 20 mins before the it closed for the night. Very tasty & generous portions.
