Hotel & Motel & Hostel in New Zealand

“Went to the Cust Country Pub for dinner last night with some friends. Had a lovely time. The staff were all very welcoming, friendly and efficient. Nothing was a bother for them. The food was great, from the entrees to the desserts. I had the fish and chips which was served with yummy chips and a lovely green salad and was unfortunately more than I could eat ( and believe me I tried). I would recommend this pub to anyone who wants a reasonably priced good meal in a comfortable friendly atmosphere. Well done to the staff and management.”

“Cmn back from wotk and My room had been made emmaculately.. made it feel like id just arrived.. Day 1 every evening. Receptionist.. she was always professional/helpful and genuine. Very kind.”

“We stayed here in August '25. Really nice hotel. I stayed in room 402, the view wasn't great, but the room was A+. This room has a full kitchen, washer/dryer, king sized bed, large living area with huge TV. The hotel is located across the street from the Town Hall (where my wife's conference was). Everything Christchurch proper has to offer is easily walkable from this location.”

“Staff were friendly and helpful. The Racecourse Hotel was quite central to catching up with family and friends. It also felt central to shops, supermarkets and places of interest. Our room was simple but comfortable with all that we needed. It had a tv, microwave, toaster and dishes. Our room was clean with towels changed daily. We extended our stay from 6 nights to 12 nights. We will certainly stay again when we venture down next time. Highly recommend. Great restaurant just across from our room and we had a few drinks at the bar where we won a couple of meat raffles. GREAT PLACE.”

“The Famous Grouse Hotel NZ offers comfortable rooms, friendly staff, lively bar, convenient location, and good value, though breakfast options are limited.”

“Went for dinner, delicious food (I had the chicken and bacon stack, it was excellent, and the roast and burgers are always great). The crew really looked after us, thank you!”

“Went for sunny afternoon drink. Great location, very relaxing spot. One of my most favorite spots in Napier. I will be making a booking to stay in their accommodation for my next trip. Great location, within walking distance to shops and other restaurants in Ahuriri. I have always found the staff, warm, friendly and engaging.”

“Our meals were generously portioned and cooked to absolute perfection! The chef could teach a masterclass in cooking breadcrumbs! Our table were elated to receive such great, fast service and meals that were far beyond their price point in quality, flavour and portion! We will be back as often as possible!”

“A real time experience of hospitality from the front office to check in was a smooth ride . Very helpful, smiling faces and great attitude at work . Special thanks to Keila , Vennessa & Team Victoria Hotel Dunedin .”

“Comfortable rooms, beds, and pillows. The staff are really helpful. We'd happily stay there again.”

“Stayed here two nights this trip! Rooms are good. Service at the pub is great too!!”

“Good local bar. Gang free, karaoke, pokies CHEAPEST BEER IN TOWN. The manager Charlie and owner is a cool guy!!”

“I had a great experience here. The walk from the Intercity Bus stop to the hotel was quick and easy. I noticed upon arrival that there wasn't a ramp to get up, but during my stay upon leaving my room for the night I did notice a ramp. The service was amazing, the vibe of the hotel was really cozy, I ate at the Vie restaurant on the night I arrived, I had a delicious three cheese pizza and a tequila sunrise. I also added the buffet breakfast to my stay, it was very nice, they had a decent array of breakfast foods. The Chia pudding could of used more flavour, as I only got flavour from the fruit. The mushrooms as well could of used a bit more flavour, but other than that every thing else was yummy as!. My room was good, although it had a view of an apartment complex, but that's what you get when you're staying in the middle of the city. The amenities were great, having a coffee bar was good as I always need a coffee. Especially when I come back from a day of walking around the CBD, I can chill and have a coffee. The only confusing thing about the room, is that with the lights, you need to put your hotel keycard in the little slot next to the door, it was confusing for me for about a minute until I figured it out. Another downside I would say is the payment options when you book, so for me I like to pay in advance, they did give that option but you just had to pay the booking fee, and then you pay the rest upon your arrival. I had to email them about this, as when I checked my bank only $100 got taken out, so make sure you have money saved up upon your arrival. Other than that, I had a wonderful stay, thank you to the staff and the cleaning staff for your amazing work, and I hope to come back and stay again another time. - Tiegan C”

“Lovely room with a view across to the rose gardens and very comfortable bed. The staff, especially in the restaurant, were very welcoming and pleasant. Meals were good value for money. All in all, a very pleasant stay.”

“We stayed here in December, 2022. The accommodation was clean & located right at the harbour. Downstairs was a host of fine restaurants and night life. Close to the heart of the city.”

“I traveled to NZ to celebrate turning 50. The Oaks was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Absolutely perfect. The front-end staff members were attentive and exceedingly kind. Connor was the first person I interacted with and proved to be an invaluable resource during my week stay at The Oaks property. The staff provided exceptional service and always with a smile and I would like to put their names in lights.... Calen Dylan Ben Conner Willow Avineet Martyn.....Wonderful recommendation on Mad Pot. Delicious. Thanks for making my 50th one to remember”

“A wonderful hotel, friendly and with very efficient staff. Well appointed and a great selection of rooms, and it is so so quiet at night.... And a bonus is the cafe, bar, restaurant off the lobby and too the gym. And a further bonus is its location across a small reserve to the Spark Arena, and a short stroll to Queen Street. And it comes with a carpark for guests downstairs!! AWESOME!!”

“We were slightly disappointed that some things weren't what were advertised but we were assured by staff that those issues would be amended in any advertising in the future. Other than that very nice place to stay... Would stay there again. Oh and the views from the rooms with balcony's are absolutely amazing.”

“This place has a very confident hotel and the room number was four. There were three beds and the shower was comfortable and hot shower was hot and comfy. I know the owner is a little bit strict about the hotel rules, but if you use it nicely he will say nothing so I love this hotel. There is a free wifi there too! I recommend this hotel to everyone!”

Waihi Beach Hotel favours a simple, bistro‑style mix with clear, clean flavours. The room sits relaxed with an easy buzz. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Portions are generous yet well judged.

“Excellent staff great atmosphere, nice place to have an ale”

“Great service, excellent breakfast provided with room”

“Hotel receptionist Smitri was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. Although we booked through a third-party service and didn’t reserve a parking space, she went out of her way to find one for us. She was polite and empathetic, especially considering our situation traveling with a toddler. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, and the room was clean and well-maintained, the kitchenette is a bunos! Kudos to the housekeeping team as well, the room was still serviced even after 5 PM, which we really appreciated. Would love to book again in the future!”

“All staff lovely especially Thalia really helped me in a hard time. Special thanks to Christine too, so helpful!”
