Hotels With Parking in Canterbury, New Zealand

I have previously stayed in this chain of pod hotels and the one up in Auckland was fantastic and I gave a raving review. Perhaps I got these guys on a bad day but I really felt the service had dropped significantly since  my First visit a year and a half ago in Auckland.  The main concern I had was the bathroom was pretty disgusting and something that I would definitely not use. You can see the reasons why in the photos that I will post. Mainly there was here all around the place and a lot of dropped water on the floor old products just in the corner even if they were advertise as free it looked disgusting and could be done in a much clean hygienic way. Just needs a bit more quality management in this area.  perhaps I got them at the end of the weekend with low interest in maintaining clean bathrooms but this was just not good. My second gripe or concern was that inside the pod the electronics of the light and fan were not visible and I took at least 15 minutes to figure out how to actually turn on off the lights and this was only done eventually by accident by me accidentally touching the panel as the back light of the panel was not functioning therefore it was not easy to determine where to turn the light on and off. My last gripe was that the door needs to be more effectively managed because it still slamming every time someone goes in and Out likely waking everyone in the pods certainly Juan understands in this type of accommodation you have to put up with a bit of noise but this was a little bit out there at 6 am 7 am in the morning. So overall, a little disappointed, but for the price point it served its purpose.

We had a wonderful stay at Kaikoura Quality Suites. The Executive Studio had all the necessary amenities (heater, warm shower, kitchenette) for a good night's rest, along with parking right next door. The motel was conveniently located next to a petrol station and supermarket (New World), and just a short drive to the town centre. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful staff at check-in who also gave us a free glass of milk!

Hi Guys we did enjoy our stay . Unfortunately some things were a bit dated & the cleanliness in the hallways needs attention. The room we had was a good size, for the price we paid,so we were happy with that. Didn't have the best of sleeps because the bed was sagging in the middle,like 1 of the 2 bases had dropped,& we didnt realised until the morning we left,while packing our bags on the floor. Have a picture of that if u want me to send it to. Overall we were happy with our stay based on the price we paid for that time of year.

The accommodation is located right in the city center, so the location is perfect, and the room was also very clean. The only downside was that after parking my car in the parking lot and driving away the next day, I unexpectedly received a parking ticket. However, after disputing it, the ticket was eventually canceled. Still, it did take up a lot of time to deal with, which was frustrating. Everything else was great though.

The hotel is not very old so it's quite fresh and clean, it's in a great spot and staff are pleasant enough. The pool is very small and got busy but you're staying in kaikoura - get in the sea. Beds are comfortable. We didn't have time to try out the restaurant or bar as we went into town (a favourite of ours on the south island). Parking was easy - we parked on the street outside.

Pros: The location is superb; it's probably the closest accommodation to Lake Tekapo, right in the heart of the tourist area. It's an easy walk to all the restaurants and the Church of the Good Shepherd. The hygiene is good, the room is very clean, and although the facilities are basic, they meet essential needs. There's a shared kitchen and a common lounge area with beautiful lake views. It's very popular, and both check-in and check-out are convenient. The bathroom is quite spacious. You can park your car in the free public parking lot in the scenic area. Cons: The room space is very cramped, and the windows in the lake-view rooms are small. The facilities are relatively simple. Compared to its price, the value for money is low.

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.

Amazing experience. Wish we stayed for an additional day. Great hotel for a good price. Room was smaller than expected but very functional and easy. Breakfast was good.. couldnt use the pool as it was raining but it was hot pool.

You need to provide better information about parking. The hotel only offers valet parking, though other paid parking is available nearby. Service at breakfast was not great. No one greeted me or explained that there were options. No prices were available before dining. I had one bagel and a fruit bowl (no drinks) and my bill was $28. That's really steep! I'll go to a cafe next time.

This was our favourite accommodation on our family trip from Christchurch to Wellington.  We had spent the first few days in hotels and the change to a self contained 2 bedroom unit for us and the kids was a welcome relief. We were so impressed with the Settlers and we wouldn’t hesitate to return or to recommend it to friends. Brett and Sue have clearly out a lot of thought and effort into the facilities and the experience. The units were immaculately clean, with nice bedding and furniture. Well stocked kitchen and thoughtful additions like the laundry and towels you could take to the water park. On top of that we were always made to few very welcome. Thanks for a wonderful time
