5-Star Hotels in Canterbury, New Zealand

The hotel is quite new, room is very spacious and bed and pillows are super soft and comfortable. We spent 2 nights in Christchurch and it is about 15 mins walk to Bontanic garden and 20 mins walk to city area where many eateries and shopping are . The front desk staff and manager are very friendly and helpful and when we came in on early morning on Friday , they allowed us early check in and this really helped us as we were so exhausted after a red eye flight. The cafe at the hotel served great food and drinks as well and usually they are very crowded but we managed to have our breakfast there on the day we check out , yummy breakfast indeed!

The environment is very good and the scenery is beautiful. It is close to the viewing point for furry sea lions on the peninsula. You can enjoy the scenery along the coast. When you arrive at the sea lion gathering area, the scenery at the top of the peninsula is also beautiful, with groups of sea lions. You can also climb the mountain and look down at the entire coast.

The unit is complete with 1 bedroom with ensuite bathroom, kitchen and living hall. Washer and dryer is hidden behind cabinet at the kitchen area. Kitchen is fully functional with induction stove(depending on which unit you being assigned), microwave and all utensils needed to cook a complate meal. The best part is the bus stop right opposite Fino has bus to airport no. 29. You may pay in cash or debit/credit card ( not all buses has this). A trip to airport by cash is NZD4 for adult and NZD2 for kids above 5. Below 5 is free.

The twin room I booked was very big, perfect for bringing children. The room has a kitchen, so you can cook simple meals, with tableware, dishwasher, dishwashing detergent, dishcloths, and everything else. It was surprisingly good. There weren't many varieties of breakfast, but the taste was really good, especially the corn hash browns and fried noodles. Highly recommended.

The room is very big and very good, just like a large flat floor, with its own jacuzzi, the balcony is to see the golf course, the only bad thing is that the hot water has a limit of one time ~ can use 260L, it takes an hour to use it.

Booked for a friend. The hotel is nice and the surroundings are first-class. The facilities are good and it is considered good in Christchurch. The staff has a good service attitude and will stay here again next time.

Hotel staff were very hospitable. Free parking was beneficial considering it’s located in the heart of central Christchurch. The room is very chic and comes with modern appliances and finishes.

From Queenstown to Christchurch, I stayed in this old building from 1917, which was renovated by the University of Canterbury. The interior has obvious signs of renovation, and it is quirky and gorgeous, surrounded by art centers. The hotel is small and exquisite, and has a special style. The design and decoration of the room are very beautiful. It is only a 10-minute walk to the mall, which is very convenient.

We stayed 2 nights in the deluxe spa suite and were moderately satisfied. Given the price of the room and coming from a 5 star hotel we expected better. the wallpaper was torn off in certain places and camouflaged by something, the mini bar was not complete. the instructions for the bathroom spa not super clear. The shower was also not completely waterproof. Too bad not to have real sheets for the cover. however, we enjoyed the view and the jacuzzi. comfortable bedding. for the breakfast option, not at all up to the standard of a 5 star, and that's a shame. also disappointed, the 2nd evening we wanted to order cocktails for happy hour, the bartender being present told us that the bar was closed for that evening and when we asked if we could have them in our room we were told said no you can order only food , why? while the bartender was present, is this laziness? The hotel spa amenities were all out of order as well. At this price and claiming 5 stars we were quite disappointed

My husband and I were together for the winter holiday. We very much enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We can’t say enough the host or hospitable the premises were nicely appointed. It was located close to a beautiful botanical gardens as well as a beautiful college campus as well as stores and restaurants. We would highly recommend anyone who would stay in the area to stay at this place. Be aware that it is not a hot breakfast.
