Kerrie was extremely helpful and booked the most wonderful day trips to Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound for us prior to our arrival. This extra service meant we were collected at the door and didn’t have to endure the long drive to Milford and stopped at all the scenic views along the way. Everything in the room was quality and beautifully decorated. This was definitely the best motel that we stayed in during our three weeks travelling in the South Island of New Zealand.

Fantastic hostel, best that I stayed in during my time on South Island. Newly renovated so bedrooms were clean (room set up for 3 bedder is a bit odd - the end of my bed was directly touching the end of someone else's bed) and bathroom clean. Highlight has got to be location (right next to New World supermarket, 1min walk to the lakefront and resturants) and the kitchen facility (sparkling, huge and has everything you need). Wish I could've stayed here for longer.

We stayed here for one night on our travels around the south island. The hotel is really well located to the centre of the town with plentiful car parking. The staff were friendly and the accommodation comfortable and similar to the motel style of many hotels in New Zealand. Breakfast and dinner was included and was pleasant. The price is a little higher than we would pay for similar accommodation elsewhere but given the location was good value.

Aria on Bank has been our favourite place to stay whilst visiting the South Island. Gorgeous loft apartment that is short walking distance to the Dunedin Botanic Gardens, cafes, restaurants, shopping centre and even a cool little bar called Inch Bar, that has live music most nights. The owner was helpful, highlighting places to go on a map. The apartment had everything we needed including a hot plate, comfortable bed and powerful shower.

Liked the atmosphere, friendly staff and the meals were fantastic, great beverage selection. Awesome place to unwind and relax when traveling around the South Island whether inside or outside by the fire which was my favorite place to have a drink or two Okay it was several 😀 but besides that it has become a favorite place of ours to stay and it was only for a night will definitely return thank you Cardrona Hotel.

The Lodge is very quaint and set in a quiet lane. Very good rooms with a wooden theme decord. The Breakfast was very nice. The Owners were very helpful. We were 3 cyclists from India riding across South Island. Due to some bike problems, We were late in our riding schedule. So on our request, The hotel even refunded a prepaid room stay as we had to check out 1 day earlier. Highly recommended. Rgds.

Picton is very nice, a ferry port between the New Zealand North and South islands. The gateway to the South Island. It was a panic booking due to other factors but by chance the apartment was free. Really would have liked to stay and have use of it for longer but life makes it's own design, it's own route like driving on a motorway without turnoffs!

Stylish chic hotel overlooking lake. Fabulous views. Loved the special touches in the rooms. Would stay again. Pay for the parking garage because street parking is limited. Fanciest hotel we visited in South Island. We had a good dinner at Finz. Be sure to visit the harbor area and the botanical gardens. Odd Saint was excellent for breakfast.

Fantastic place. Amazing kitchen.dining lounge area. So impressed that we highly recommend staying here. We look forward to coming back one day and we recommend it to our family and friends. A big thank you to your friendly staff. One of the nicest places we have stayed in the south island of New Zealand. Thanks kindly.

Apartment with the most amazing views over the marina. Exceptionally well kitted out with everything you could need for eating in. Lots of glass to take advantage of the views. Fabulous place to start the South Island phase of our travels. A bonus when we got off the ferry to find we were 100m from our accommodation

While traveling through New Zealand’s South Island, this accommodation in Wanaka is a must-visit. The facilities are exceptionally clean, and its close proximity to shopping centers and restaurants makes it incredibly convenient. Plus, the staff were wonderfully friendly, which added to the great experience.

Where to start! We loved this property, the best we’ve stayed in on our 3 month trip around both the north and south islands of New Zealand. We loved the space, the views, the access to the town and all the activities it has to offer. We would definely recommend this place for couples, friends, or families.

Perfect place to stay immediately on arrival from the Wellington to Picton ferry so I could catch my breath and plan my South Island adventures. Room was very comfortable and quite spacious. A very short walk to the Oxley Hotel for a lovely evening meal and to the Seabreeze Cafe for an amazing breakfast.

Out of 14 accommodations on our holiday in North and South islands of New Zealand, this was probably the best we stayed in. The host was magnificent and the quality (and quantity) of the inclusive breakfast as we stayed in the lodge was exceptional. The room was big, well equipped and comfortable.

It was such a happy time to have a kind host, dogs who like people, and people who love this space together. Accommodation was kept clean every day and was the best accommodation I personally experienced on the South Island. If I come to New Zealand next time, I will definitely visit again.

Views to die for. Great sized apartment. One of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The sap on the private deck was fantastic! The associated pub had great food and great service. A definite highlight of our trip around the South Island so far.

The town of Arrowtown New Zealand is a must on anyone's holiday list in the South Island. The Arrowfield apartments are the perfect place to stay. Lovely self contained comfortable accommodation with all modern cons. Perfectly located and quiet.

This was my second stay in four days and it somehow raised the bar even from my first perfect stay. If I ever come back to New Zealand’s South Island, this will be my first choice of a place to stay in Christchurch.

We really enjoyed the restaurant ant the hot tub. We stayed 2 nights, 1 at the beginning of our south island journey and 1 at the end. It was great to know our last night would be spent in an amazing hotel.

Very beautiful spot on West coast of South Island. Beaches were deserted and fantastic. Nightime skies a treat with star gazing. Hotel owner was gracious and helpful. Room was good, quiet, clean.
