Hotels With Pools in Canterbury, New Zealand

"1. **Unbeatable Location** The hotel is right next to the waterfront promenade. Step out and you're at the beach in 50 meters. Cross the road and you're at the cruise terminal for whale watching and swimming with dolphins, so no need to rush for early morning whale tours. A 5-minute walk takes you to the town's supermarket and restaurants. In the evening, a stroll along the coast offers stunning sunset views of snow-capped mountains meeting the sea. 2. **Incredible View Rooms** If you book a sea view room, definitely choose one with floor-to-ceiling windows. You can enjoy the direct view of the azure bay from your bed, with the Southern Alps stretching in the distance. The sunrise over the sea streams directly into your room in the morning, and at night, you can hear the gentle sound of the waves. The guest rooms are spacious, with separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the whole room has a modern, minimalist design. Since it's a relatively new hotel, the facilities are brand new with no signs of age or unpleasant odors. The soundproofing throughout the room is excellent, completely blocking out road noise. 3. **Comprehensive and Thoughtful Amenities** The hotel features an outdoor heated swimming pool, perfect for relaxing after water activities. There's also a small gym, convenient for a quick workout during a road trip. The daily buffet breakfast offers a rich variety of options, including local New Zealand sausages, fresh fruit, and made-to-order eggs – all delicious. The 24-hour front desk service is gentle and accommodating, and they even give a complimentary teddy bear souvenir to guests with children, a truly heartwarming detail. The hotel has its own free parking, so self-driving guests have no worries about parking. The Wi-Fi signal in public areas is stable. 4. **Pleasant Dining Atmosphere** The restaurant and bar, with their floor-to-ceiling windows, offer direct sea views. Enjoy a glass of local wine in the evening while watching the sunset; the ambiance is absolutely perfect."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Due to heavy rain on the west coast, I went back to the town and stayed for one night. It was clean. Every room on the first floor has a back door to the garden. Breakfast is included. Bread, jam, coffee and tea are included. The whole meal seems to be 21.5 yuan. , Feng Jian by people"

"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."

"Stopped in the tent for 1 night. It was our first such experience. It was raining all night and I was worried that we would all get wet, but it turned out to be very decent and protected. The kids liked it very much. There is light in the tent, mini-fridge, fan, small heater . Beds are comfortable! Go 3 minutes to the sea"

"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."

"Very good homestay, the host is very thoughtful. The house is clean and tidy, and the facilities are perfect. The location is only ten minutes drive from the airport, very close, but almost no noise can be heard. The breakfast is very rich and the cake is very delicious. The key is that the bed and quilt are very comfortable, and it is really a rare good night's sleep here. I will definitely stay here next time I come to Christchurch. Everything is perfect in this place. It's just ten mins drove to the airport but you can bearly hear the noise in the house. Everything in the house is clean, tidy and very much home alike. The breakfast was well prepared and the cakes were just delicious. Above all, the bed and duvet was sooooo comfortable that I had the best sleep in my whole trip! I would definitely stay here if I came to Christchurch again!"
