Pet hotel in Christchurch

“Koa absolutely loves Central Park daycare and I struggle to get him to leave! All of the Woof Advisors and Dog Coaches are fantastic and really genuinely care about and love your fur baby”

“Awesome carer and such an interest in animals! Really good at what she does”

“If you are looking for a non touristy place to meet the locals in Christchurch its here. Friendly people and staff”

“December 2024 stayed for 1 night. The room was lovely the bed very comfy ..bathroom exceptional to the little details of the mirror and heater handrails. For the low price I wasn't sure what to expect but would definately stay again. I asked for a toaster and nothing was too much trouble for the owners of this hotel. The only down side travelling with elderly couple was no lift but other then that I'd definitely be back.”

“A great place to stay and enjoy this lovely city! The welcome by the staff has been fantastic and the food and staff in the restaurant is also fantastic! Many thanks to you all! Our room also is so lovely and homely with the living room enjoying views of the gardens and so very pleasant. The bathroom works really well and the king size bed is just like home! Thanks for everything. From the Bonds.”

“We had a very pleasant stay at Sudima Christchurch Airport Hotel and stayed in the Premium King Room. We were checked in by the friendly Wade, and we would like to thank him for his professionalism and warm hospitality. His calm composure while managing multiple big group of check ins at once was truly impressive and worth mentioning. Our hotel room was clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated the pillow menu, which gave us a great night sleep. The location is also extremely convenient, it was just minutes from Christchurch Airport and within walking distance to Woolworths and several nearby food places. The free parking for hotel guests was another big plus. We also had dinner at Acheron at level 1, and were served by the welcoming Alan. We overheard he’s still a student, but we were genuinely impressed by his friendliness and service. Overall, a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. Would happily return!”

“Riverside is just awesome and Carrie and Andrew clearly love cats! Our cat Steve stayed for just under a month and he could not have been in better hands!! Steve is a very anxious cat and had never been to a Cattery before but these amazing humans had him relaxed and at ease in no time! The units are lovely, clean and we'll looked after. I absolutely 100% recommend Riverside Cattery. I cannot thank them enough!!!!”

“For anyone looking for a special treat then I highly recommend going to a Long Table Lunch. The service and the ambience is exceptional and you can just feel the history oozing out from inside and outside of the lodge. Chef Jimmy is an absolute whiz in the kitchen and it was a true honour to sample several of his masterpieces. I'd also like to praise the exceptional efforts the lovely Lucy took to make me and my octogenarian mother feel at home. She was a true star and we really appreciated her assistance during our meal and garden tour. It was a gorgeous excursion and an experience we will warmly cherish forever. Merry Christmas and our best wishes to all the wonderful team at Otahuna Lodge.”

“Peter and Tessa are exceptional moteliers, they go out of their way to accommodate the needs of their guests. They were prompt and reliable with airport pick-ups and were also very obliging with dropping us off at a family event. The motel rooms were large, light and airy, and very well equipped. We appreciated the space of the one bedroom unit. The gardens are immaculate and very colourful. We’ll be back!”

“Scruffy boy looked amazing when I picked him up. He was so happy, and so handsome!!”

“We always like to take Kora on holiday but a round the world trip meant she needed to go to kennels. I was worried because this was only her second time and this was her first on her own. She loved it, she looked really well after her holiday. Thank you for taking good care of her, until the next time we fly.”

“After a 9 hour flight and a night stay in Auckland, we were pleasantly surprised at our accommodations at Sumner Re Treat. We were greeted by Chris and she escorted us to our room. It was not only spotless, but very attractively decorated. Our accommodations came with all the necessary amenities, the decor was contemporary, and the location was excellent. There were numerous eateries within walking distance. Best of all, it was a short walk to the beach. I would definitely recommend Sumner Retreat if you plan on visiting Christchurch and want to get away from the City Centre.”

“I find it hard to put into words how grateful I am to Paru. From the moment I arrived at the door I felt welcomed and safe. Paru guided me gently to find the love for myself and deal with my grief. For years I have felt lost but today I came home a different women. Lighter in body, mind and soul. Thank you beautiful lady”

“A really good motel experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this for both the motel and the location.”

“Lesley is great. So helpful, understanding and caring. I was very worried about how my skittish little girl Chloe would settle in there for a couple days and the whole process was better than I expected :)”

“Good price and they update their facebook page daily with pictures of the dogs playing, so you get to see how much fun they're having :)”

“Our three Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were treated like royalty throughout their many stays in 2023. Michelle and Dave are awesome. My boys always looked so happy on the videos of the day and with each return visit they charged into reception with unbridled enthusiasm. Worth the extra distance of travel knowing they were happy and well cared for. Thank you team, doggy licks from Digby, little Tom and Toby-Tenzing.”

“A Country Home for our dog feels like a luxury hotel break, so we never feel guilty when going on holidays, it is great! Nic run’s her business professionally and efficiently, we are very grateful. Totally recommend A Country Home.”

“The team at WAG Doggy Daycare are absolutely fantastic. We have just started our 2 mini schnauzers at WAG and the staff have been amazing in helping them settle in. Photos and reels bring smiles with the whole family following WAG on socials. Both dogs are so excited on arrival and have such a great time. Thanks to the team at WAG for looking after our 4-legged friends with so much care!”

“Super clean everywhere! It was so well stocked with everything we needed. The host was fantastic. So lovely and helpful Plus they have a shop downstairs which is great! Thank you for a lovely stay!”

“Beautifully appointed, super spacious and immaculate accommodation. The owner is lovely and so helpful. Go for the deal that includes dinner locally. I went to the Laboratory which was buzzing and had great food and locally brewed beer.”

“We are so glad we’ve found Eyrewell Kennels! It was the first time we’ve had our 6 month old puppy Taika stay in a kennel. From the moment of initial contact they put our mind at ease with what to expect and once arriving you could see immediately what a great facility it is. Huge outdoor grass areas with separate section’s for different dogs and very clean indoor kennels with air conditioning. Taika loved his stay and will happily be booking future use at Eyrewell. Thanks team!”

“Absolutely beautiful little retreat, the rooms are the perfect size for a couples getaway, the views are incredible and the best part was the hot tub at night with the stars and one of the best wines we have tasted. We feel refreshed and renewed. Lots of extra details that made this place such a gem, from Bluetooth connectivity throughout the room to the luxury bathroom and of course the super comfy bed. Well done to all who make this place so special, couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to start our NZ holiday. Thank you :)”

“Absolute fantastic value for money at the Darfield Motel. Friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. We stayed for four nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Spacious, warm and wonderfully clean rooms. Well equipped kitchenette. Walking distance to the amazing bakery and other places to eat. Thank you Darfield Motel for a warm welcome and perfect stay. Can't wait to come back.”

“We had our cat piglet recently stay here and I was very impressed with the service and set up here. Piglet is very happy thank you for taking such good care of her.”

“Highly recommend this accommodation the service was fantastic. The rooms were spacious and clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable great nights sleep Also the location was perfect very central to everything.”

“Cute place near everything. We walked mostly. Parking is close quarters but at least they have some! Rooms are spacious and comfy. Staff are awesome.”
