Romantic Hotels in Canterbury, New Zealand

"The place was fantastic! Has a living room/kitchen, bedroom was away from kitchen. Has 2 heaters, 2 TVs! Of course everything was very clean and very quiet. Bed was clean and comfortable too. All in all, 5 stars!"

"This was my first trip to New Zealand and I stayed at Peppers Bluewater Resort. Even though we arrived two hours before check-in, they kindly accommodated us, which was a huge relief for us as we were tired from the long journey and a bit nervous. The staff were all very kind and helpful, which was great. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was absolutely delicious."

"The location is excellent, just a 10-15 minute walk from the airport. McDonald's, KFC, and a supermarket are all within a 5-minute walk, and the Antarctic Centre is also right next door. I stayed in a female dorm capsule bed. It was clean, and the shared bathrooms were decent. There's also a common area with a kitchen, including shared refrigerators, microwaves, pots, pans, and cutlery. You can relax on the sofas or hammocks. My bunk had USB ports and power outlets, and there's a locker with a combination lock underneath. For this price and environment, it's a perfect score."

"Great place to rest and unwind after a long flight to Christchurch. The beds were comfortable, rooms were warm, strong shower and came well equipped. Front desk was very helpful and extended our checkout time slightly, which gave us more time to rest so that was very much appreciated. Overall great value for money."

"This is a motel campground perfect for those traveling by car. The scenery is beautiful, parking is convenient, and each unit has its own designated parking spot. The kitchen facilities are excellent, making it easy to cook your own meals. The only downside is the poor signal."

"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."

"A beautiful villa resort, very spacious and comfortable with stunning views from the balcony. There are also lovely hiking trails nearby. The only odd thing was that the duvet didn't have a cover. Lunch and dinner were excellent – not expensive but very high-quality. The service was great, and the room even had a washer and dryer."

"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."
