The Observatory Hotel Christchurch

Hotel in Christchurch City Center, Christchurch

Located in Christchurch, a 3-minute walk from Canterbury Museum, The Observatory Hotel Christchurch has accommodations with a fitness center and private parking. Simply amazing. One of the best hotel experiences ever - and we have had many. Such a lovely, historical college building, beautiful decor, cleanliness and perfect customer service. A beautiful room and bathroom, lovely bed and linens. We also liked the continental breakfast a lot. I have celiac diseace and had yet a good choise. The breakfast hostess earns our special thaks. Location in the Arts Centre was great with shops a lovely restaurants and a cafe. Sadly the antiquities museum was closed Mon - Tue. Also the museum tram has its stop very close. Keep up the service-minded spirit. Thank you! ♥️🇫🇮

Sudima Christchurch City

Hotel in Christchurch City Center, Christchurch

New in 2019, this 5-star boutique hotel is ideally located on Victoria Street in the city of Christchurch, among a variety of cafes, restaurants and bars. Our stay at the hotel was fantastic from start to finish. We received a lovely welcome dessert on arrival as it was our honeymoon; the room was fantastic in terms of facilities and overall quality/comfort; the nearby gym and complimentary on-site laundry were a great convenience; and the food in the restaurant was also great. Most importantly, the reception manager Abhishek saved our day by helping to defrost our car so we could get to the train station on time, and was good-humoured even while we were very stressed. A top-class hotel all round!

Poshtel

Hotel in Oamaru

Featuring a shared lounge, bar and views of city, Poshtel is located in Oamaru, 23 miles from Moeraki Boulders. The property has luggage storage space and free WiFi throughout the property. we had an apartment with a separate entry and it was awesome. The character of the place was great, having kept the vault door in the bedroom made it really unique. The decor in the lobby and the historical artefacts of Oamaru was really interesting. The breakfast concept also suited us very well. All in all, it’s a very well designed boutique hotel with very nice and attentive staff. Definitely worth the stop.
