Pet hotel in Christchurch

“Had to go to Christchurch a day early than planned. And booked here last minute. The service and communication was amazing. The rooms is fantastic. The bathroom and shower great. Beds are so comfortable and a great night sleep. Would definitely recommend booking here”

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

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

“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!”

“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.”

“The hostess was very accommodating and friendly. The rooms were clean and decorated well. The whole farm setting complete with alpacas and horses was fantastic. Convenient location close to the airport too. I highly recommend staying here.”

“Where do I start to recommend this kennel. This is the best of the best - simply because the owner and her trusted staff truly KNOW animals. They are passionate, observant, and they are so committed to taking the best care of the pets entrusted into their care using a skill-set you rarely find. They also uncover all their personality traits, which proves how much notice they do take. I had two of my dogs in there this week and Robyn had noticed a touch of aggression from my Jack to my Kelpie, which I had noticed at the same time of day only once before. She was right on to it, and separated them without worrying me. But, she did tell me when I picked them up and I immediately remembered I'd noticed it too once myself, but I thought perhaps it was a one-off thing. So, now I'm going to be watching that narky little Jack closer at home. I can't stress how much trust we put in the people who care for our pets. Make sure you choose wisely, and if you're asking me, I'd say Dentese every day of the week. Thank you.”

“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”

“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 :)”

“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!!!!”

“This is our first time using a kennel in over a decade and they did not disappoint. Everyone that I spoke to was lovely, loved the video of him running around with another dog. Will definitely be using again in the future!”

“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!”

“I visited this place to find a little break from my busy life, and it was the best choice. Strolling through the beautiful garden and spending a day in nature made me so happy. The owners were incredibly friendly, and there were delicious plums in the garden too:)”

“Had a wonderful tour with Chris last Sunday. Chris is a very kind and handsome person who loves animals and care of them a lot. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip with my family in CHC. I'm happy to learn about farm life and the stories of the animals, and we love the kune kune Pig -smile mouth!”

“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!”

“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 :)”

“Whilst attending my daughter's wedding celebrations, I booked three rooms, for three nights, for my family members travelling from Melbourne. I cannot speak highly enough of our hosts Frank and Jenny, who took us into and shared their home with us. The location is within walking distance of the village of Lyttleton and its services. Our hosts were attentive, friendly and supportive, but, not intrusive. Their rooms were a delight, comfortable, spacious and serviced daily, unless one signed that it was not necessary. Ensuites, heated towel racks, room heaters ensured a comfortable stay. The views over Lyttleton Harbour are breathtaking, complemented by the external open patio, complete with outdoor furniture and barbecue for guests to relax and enjoy. Complimentary cereals, yogurts, fruit, tea and coffees ensure a relaxing start to the day. Frank and Jenny are approachable, friendly and helpful, we enjoyed our stay and commend you to them when next you visit Christchurch or Lyttleton areas.”

“Had a fabulous stay here. Very comfortable and clean room, with all necessary amenities provided. Fantastic spot right next to the cafe and Diamond Harbour eatery, with easy access to the ferry and lots of walking tracks. Really loved being able to have our dog stay with us too. Thank you & we will be back!”

“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.”

“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!”

“I can not recommend Cheryl high enough, we had our 3 babies with her over Christmas just been (2023) for a week. Due to no fault of her own (our vet being lazy) our 11 month old kitten fell very ill, Cheryl went above and beyond and did everything she could for our precious peach. If you want to take your cats to someone who cares, you can’t get any better than Cheryl at 4 paws”

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

“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 :)”

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

“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!”
