Romantic Hotels in Canterbury, New Zealand

"Located at 50 mins drive from Mt. Cook and has a few restaurants available nearby. For the room amenities, i will rate 2 out of 5 only due to poor drainage at toilet basin, broken toilet bowl cover and low water pressure at the shower. The kitchen basin has both cold and hot water outlet each, so is either u feel extremely cold or extremely hot during dish washing. Quite inconvenient."

"We stayed here twice during our stay in NZ. It’s right next to the hotel (10min walk) so perfect for when you have a flight. It’s very close to all the campercan rentals too so easily can collect. The rooms are very clean with private bathroom- has TV, hair dryer and shampoo and body wash! Also has washing machine and kitchen facilities on site !! Thank you xxx"

"Carnmore Hotel Christchurch is in a convenient location with easy access to public transport, making it easy to get around the city without driving. The room was quite small, but it was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. One thing to note is that on-site parking is limited and needs to be reserved in advance. Unfortunately, despite emailing the hotel a couple of weeks before our stay to request parking, all on-site spaces were already fully booked by the time we checked in. It would be helpful if the hotel could provide clearer communication regarding parking availability, especially for guests travelling by car. Overall, the hotel offers a comfortable stay in a good location, but I would strongly recommend arranging parking as early as possible if you plan to drive."

"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."

"The room is clean and comfortable. AC and heater are all available in the room. Kitchen items are welled prepared and have a lot of varities, even up to wine decanter, wine glasses, etc. The bed is clean and comfortable also. Nice and quite neighborhood too."

"Lake Edge Holiday Park has a very convenient location with beautiful views overlooking Lake Tekapo. The facilities were quite complete and suitable for a comfortable stay. However, the hot water shower was limited to only 8 minutes per session, which could be inconvenient in colder weather. In addition, the shared bathroom/toilet and kitchen were located quite far from the accommodation area. Overall, still a nice stay for enjoying the scenery around Tekapo."

"The hotel was truly amazing and a wonderful place to call home for a few nights. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything! Oven, microwave, dishwasher, stove, utensils…everything! We were pleasantly surprised that there was a washing machine and dryer too! There is a working fireplace and the views were stunning ❤️Ours was the two bedroom villa; one room has a bathroom attached with a jacuzzi tub and the other bathroom is not attached to the second bedroom. This bathroom has a shower only, no tub. The second bedroom is actually two super singles joined together so you could possibly request for that configuration. We found that the shower stall in the smaller bathroom has a poor design as water flows from the shower through the grooves between floor tiles and makes the whole place wet. This was perhaps the only down side to this place. The good at the restaurant is reasonably priced and wonderful quality. The location of the hotel is strategic for trekking to the Rakaia Gorge and also for driving to Edoras (or Mt Sunday) where LOTR’s filming took place."

"If you want to feel the private garage and small villa, then come to this one. It's really a completely different experience, it's the feeling of renting a house. We arrived late because of the closure of Highway 8 and responded immediately after ringing the bell. This one has a bathtub and can take a bath. There is also an electronic fireplace. The style is in place. There is even a rice cooker 🥰 to completely solve the Chinese stomach. The starry sky is so beautiful! Looking up is the starry sky. The sun is spilled on the bedside in the morning. The door is Tekapo. Recommend to stay a few more days. Disadvantages: No active cleaning service. This service may be provided after further communication."

"I booked a mountain-view room, and it was on the first floor. It was a duplex, one-bedroom with a living room and a balcony. Free parking was a plus. The room came with a full set of kitchen utensils. The hotel is right across from the lake, and there's a supermarket and restaurants nearby. The front desk staff were incredibly patient and helpful. It was also super convenient to walk to the Church of the Good Shepherd for stargazing at night."
