Hotels With Pools in Canterbury, New Zealand

"This hotel location is superb right opposite The village city central. Everything is good EXCEPT no air con which is really hot in summer month …all 4 of us didn’t sleep well as is too hot- they only provide a standing Fan. I think winter month stay is ok."

"This is a truly characterful hotel with spotless and tidy rooms, a wonderfully rich breakfast, and exceptionally polite and attentive staff. Special thanks go to Chris Donaldson and Vicky Huang for their outstanding assistance—they acted promptly to help recover an item I had left behind at the hotel. I am immensely grateful for their support."

"It looks close to the airport, but even taking the number 8 bus still requires about a 30-minute walk, especially since there are so many cars on the main roads, it's quite inconvenient and gives you goosebumps. Advantages: It's close to the car rental company, but once you get there, you'll realize how terrible the route is. It's very unsafe, requiring you to cross many roads without traffic lights. New Zealand drivers are noticeably less courteous than Australian drivers, so be extremely careful. As for the environment and hygiene, I won't go into details. In the overnight hotel, you have to run outside to use the restroom. But considering the price, you'll have to put up with it."

"I was a bit disappointed. I was expecting this to be a 5 star place, but there were a lot of things that were definitely not 5 stars. The robes were grey and didn't cover bigger people. One of them had pilling all over it, I didn't want to even wear it. The bathroom door squeaked loudly, so if one person got up to the toilet in the middle of the night, it woke the other person up. There were instructions on how to use the spa bath, but not on how to put the plug in. It didn't just plug in normally. We weren't able to use it on our first night which was very frustrating as it was one of our main attractions. I rang housekeeping the next day. Someone came and had a look and said that you had to turn a know on the side of the spa, how would anyone know that? The lock on the door to outside was broken and a small slide lock had been put on. Why not fix the main lock? I used the toilets to the side of the library and when I washed my hands, the tap was all loose and wobbled round. All these things are little but show that the lodge needs to have things fixed or updated. For $300 per night, you expect the best. The worse thing was on our last morning, we got to breakfast about 8:45, the restaurant closes at 9:30 am. There was continental and scrambled eggs and bacon. At about 9:00 am they stopped bringing out anymore bread to toast. No more croissants, eggs or bacon were brought out. There were about 6 tables with guests and everyone kept going up and checking, but they didn't refill. People were saying, they must have run out of food! But for some reason the waiter kept lifting the lids to the egg and bacon to see what was in there, but of course there was nothing as he hadn't refilled it and he was the only waiter!! I was really disappointed and wouldn't recommend it, unless you are getting a really good discount."

"HoteI had a great stay at this hotel. It is newly built and conveniently located near the airport, which made it very easy and convenient for us. There aren’t many other hotels nearby, and the nearest ones are about a 15-minute walk away. However, this wasn’t a problem because the hotel itself has a beautiful and clean restaurant. The food was also quite good, so we were able to enjoy a satisfying meal without having to go outside. Overall, the hotel was clean, comfortable, and very convenient, especially because of its location near the airport. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a nice place to stay near the airport."

"Suitable for taking children. Our room sleeps 5 people, 3 single beds and 1 double bed. There is a kitchen in the room, the pots and pans are all complete, and there is a refrigerator for your own simple dishes. The hotel is very close to the city centre. Remember to bring toiletries, shower gel, shampoo."

"This hotel is a renovation of a building with over a hundred years of history. It's very quaint and elegant, which I loved. My only slight disappointment was that upon arrival, I had to carry my own luggage up several steps to reach the check-in area, and there was no one available to help with bags; I had to drag them all the way to my room myself. Finding parking at the hotel entrance was also inconvenient. You have to go inside to find someone at check-in, and then they'll tell you how to drive to the parking lot, where they'll meet you. For first-timers, it's easy to take a wrong turn because the road is very small and inconspicuous. Later, I slipped on the way from the parking lot and scraped my leg. When I asked the hotel staff for antiseptic, they didn't have any, which was quite disappointing. However, the accommodation itself and the hotel's location are excellent! It's very convenient for getting around; everything is just a short walk away. The Red, Yellow, and Green supermarkets are all on the same main road, very close to each other, and it only takes about ten to fifteen minutes to drive there."

"Right by the beach and very close to the whale watching departure point, which was super convenient as we'd booked a tour. There's a small kitchenette inside the room, and a communal kitchen just a few steps away. It's a bit remote, but great for stargazing at night."

"Check in was super easy. Very handy to where we needed to be. The room was toasty warm. Super comfy bed. Breakfast was incredible. Definitely want to stay again."

"I stayed here on the last night of my return home. The house on the upper and lower floors, we had a lot of fun, and forgot to book the hotel, we couldn’t book a suitable place one day in advance. This house is expensive and the two people live a little extravagant, but away from Avon. Very close to Hagley Park for easy shopping."
