“Worked a Corporate Challenge in Christchurch this week. Commodore Hotel was exceptionally localed for both the event and airport. It has the most luxurious bed. It was like sleeping on clouds. The kitchen was open for a late night dinner, which was very much appreciated with finishing so late. The breakfast this morning was delicious. Offering both a Continental Breakfast and brilliant A La Carte. I opted for the Continental which was perfectly satisfying.”

“Very convenient to central Christchurch. Stayed here a couple of times, Summer and Winter and the contrast is interesting. There is a back deck outside area with covers and heaters. Drag blankets from the games room too if needed. Cosy villa all around. Can't wait to stay again.”

“We stayed here for a family wedding and it couldn't have been more enjoyable. The staff and management bent over backwards for us and we could not praise them enough for there efforts. The facilities were excellent and we had the privilege of staying in one of their newly renovated units. Thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the thermal pools after a big day out exploring the area.”

“Staying in our motorhome we must say we were impressed. From the check ✅ in, with Kirsten, and the advice and help we received from the start. A beautiful Holiday Park with everything so clean and tidy. The playground too, is well thought out for childrens pleasure during their stay. Very handy to the beach and rolling surf, our two small dogs were in heaven when we all went down to the sand. It is fantastic that the dogs are allowed to be with us on holiday during the off season. The showers were nice and hot water aplenty. A friendly little bunny was not at all worried about two highly excited dogs because it sat just outside their wire fenced yard and teased them. In all a great place to stay and we will be back. Thank you. Laurie and Carol”

“We stayed on site in the 2 bd, 2 bath place and it was excellent service, breakfast is in your room each day (too much food for the two of us to eat, good snacks for the day), there’s complimentary wine and additional wine for purchase, the restaurant is phenomenal and well priced and the estate is fun to walk around. A must stop on your New Zealand adventure!”

“Early Stay Feedback – Distinction Hotel Dunedin We have just arrived in Dunedin on an early morning flight, and our first impression of Distinction Hotel has been exceptional thanks to Emma at the front desk. Emma provided outstanding service from the moment we walked in. She warmly organised secure storage for our bags, arranged for them to be delivered to our room later, and offered thoughtful recommendations on places to explore while we waited. She even phoned us personally as soon as our room was ready all done with genuine kindness, professionalism, and a welcoming smile. If this is the beginning of our stay, we’re already envisioning an amazing experience ahead. Emma is an absolute credit to your team.”

“What a wonderful place to stay in Wellington. We stayed here for two nights and were extremely satisfied. The welcome was warm, and the owners were very friendly. The room had a private bathroom down the hall and a personal fridge in another room. All facilities were adequately provided. The owner joins you for breakfast in the morning, which always led to enjoyable conversations. The B&B also has a fantastic view of the bay; you're right by the water. We parked our car on the street near the B&B for two nights, which was safe and, of course, cost nothing. To get to Wellington Center, you'll need an Uber or taxi.”

“Stunningly beautiful hotel inside the former Canterbury University. You are surrounded by a historic and arts precinct, there is do much to do right on your doorstop. You can easily walk to everything needed.”

“A great place to stay in Christchurch. This team really understands the word hospitality. Smile, welcome, attention to detail, willing to cooperate and making you feel at home. The front of the house team, led by the gorgeous Vee, is sharp and fast. The restaurant team, led by Mandy, is efficient, welcoming and gregarious. The coffee made by Alexis and Anny is divine, delicious and gorgeous. The chefs in the kitchen are accommodating to your special requests. Thanks so much for making my stays so wonderful.”

“Just ate at the cafe. Wood fired pizza was excellent, enjoyed a Greek Salad. A nice place to spend the evening, and have a drink after a day of hiking. A beautiful waterfall at the bottom of the drive. Would definitely pop round again!”

“This is the first time my husband and I we stayed at the Nunnery it's been awesome got the double bed room separate shower and toilets and guest lounge and kitchen help yourselves with tea coffee and there's microwave to heat your own food I want to thank the owners and we will be back Steve and Elizabeth Fleming from Papakura Auckland”

“New, tidy place easy walking down to restaurants and bars. Quiet with a decent view of the sea. Room is small, especially bathroom, but excellent for a night or two”

“This is a great hotel with lovely rooms, comfortable beds and well equipped. Great location for the city. The valet parking was very efficient and they took our bags as we arrived early and delivered to our room when it was ready. We really enjoyed our stay here and will be back.”

“We need a place in a hurry due to a death in the family, and we are so glad we found the Silverdale Garden Stay. Lovely rooms and beautiful surrounds. Close to everything you need. The hosts, Selwyn and Dellis, are very accommodating and flexible. Highly recommended.”

“Great place to stay. Kate was a lovely host. The room with a balcony is beautiful and facilities are super clean and tidy. Plenty of space in the kitchen and breakfast provided. I'd definitely stay again!”

“Wonderful. We had exceptional hostesses with Marlene and Tony. Amazing breakfast, everything you would like, our Cream Room was a very pleasant room, everything was laid on for you. Even a hair dryer. You could help yourself to tea, coffee, and for a small fee beer, wine. Cookies to go with your cuppa. Mr Darcy added a special touch. The guests lounge was a very relaxing space. Will go again.”

“Great quiet place to stay, easy to find after a long flight and the room was kept nice and warm for my midnight arrival. The after hours key was easy to find and the room was lovely and clean. Will definitely stay again”

“Fantastic motel! The rooms had everything we needed and more and were very clean, tidy and modern. The owners were friendly and helpful with recommendations on places to visit and where to eat out. Would visit again for sure.”

“Sharing a quiet Father's Day High Tea with my significant other could not have been more special. This is not our first experience here, and it won't be our last. Everything is exceptional! The staff are the most professional team, who are at your service covering every detail with quiet expertise rarely seen in other eating establishments. And then there is the food!!.... Thankyou so much for our very memorable time spent with you all.”

“Views from the deck were amazing The house was very well equipped from the great gas BBQ & outdoor furniture to the kitchen utensils, bed linen & towels The location was very handy for the town despite the very steep uphill climb on the way back! Highly recommended”

“Not our first time and worth every minute of it, apart from the first little bit when we had a bit of a long wait to get seated. The atmosphere is amazing with eclectic decor and the team that served and cooked were brilliant. The meals were worth paying a little more than we usually do for with tender rump loin and then bread pudding capping the session off. Thanks for another worthwhile experience.”

“We have just returned from our romantic "mini break" on Waiheke. Studio 1 was a room with WOW factor from the view and privacy of the room to the luxurious linen on the bed! The Nespresso, bathroom products, cleaning products, interior touches and design with feather filled cushions were thoughtful and a welcomed change from the regular "Hotel products" that seem a little "chain storish" at times. The lockbox and other security features were a perfect touch. The local Waiheke wine is exactly what you want on offer when you travel to an island so rich in the winery experience so well done! The craft beer was a particularly satisfying drop and we could easily have had 2 more each. The walk to Mudbrick was indeed short as was the walk to the Oneroa retail, restaurants and the local art. Your location is truly convenient which only added to the overall exceptional experience of packing in as much as possible in this "mini break". The communication from Jan was efficient and we thank you for allowing us to keep our bags in the storage facility while we took advantage of tiki touring our way through the sights. Constructively: (this did not affect our stay in any way) Our TV was stuck on "loud" and for the life of me I couldn't work out how to turn it down so that may have been annoying for Unit No 2. The beer really was sublime, another 2-4 would have been perfection. For avid coffee drinkers who take milk, perhaps 500ml of milk would last better given Nespresso is made with a milk frother) I am sure you get asked all the time for a late checkout as the room is so amazing but that too could be a plus sometimes although I do understand the need for an efficient cleaning schedule. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to experience "authentic sophisticated service" and hope to get back sometime soon. PS Loved the complimentary Whittakers Chocolates!!”

“By far one of the best places I have stayed in years. travelling for work a lot, I get to stay at a lot of places and never really feel the need to leave a review one way or the other, but this place is worth a mention. From the first encounter with staff to the last, the experience is friendly and efficient, the room I stayed in was very spacious, extremely well appointed and super clean. Stayed in the middle of winter so noticed the double glazing and individual heat pumps in each room immediately as the apartment was cosy and warm throughout. Vehicles are securely parked underground with easy access to elevators and ample parking. There is a high level of security with elevators requiring room tags to access the correct floor adding additional comfort to lone travellers or people leaving and returning at odd hours. Finally - as an added benefit - you open the doors to the balcony and realise that there is small stream right behind the apartments that you can hear all the time. (Bit too cold during my stay to leave the balcony doors open over night, but in summer this must be the most tranquil experience ever) - I have advised my company, our corporate travel agency and my co-workers that this is by far the most outstanding property I have stayed in for a while and when in the neighbourhood, staying here is an absolute must.”

“We live staying here; both the units and the old house are fabulous and the team on site are the best… always prefer to stay here if we’re visiting Christchurch”

“Came across this place when looking for a place to stay in Little River after cycling the Rail Trail and before venturing further into the peninsula. This place was amazing - it really was - I just wish I had more time than an overnight stop to enjoy it. The design philosophy and practice is totally inspirational. I hope to stay again one day.”

“I've just finished working in Rangiora for 3 months. I stayed at The Riverstone Motel for the whole time and loved it. Quiet, convenient, and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for super friendly hosts Charlotte and Mike. Every evening I'd come back to the curtains drawn and the heat pump on. It's the little things that count.I recommend it 100% and would go back in a heartbeat.”

“My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at EBB Dunedin. We loved the unique design of the building and the beautifully styled interiors — the room was thoughtfully furnished and very comfortable. The overall atmosphere is modern yet warm, and everything felt high quality and well considered. The service was welcoming and professional, making the stay even more pleasant. We had a very comfortable experience and would happily recommend EBB Dunedin.”

“Down for The Dunedin Study age 52yr. Fantastic place to stay. Really niice super nice comfortable, private and quiet rooms. Rooms looks out on to a beautiful garden. Thai restaurant out front to this place is JUST DEVINE FOOD”

“I saw it as/in passing to go to Salvation Army opportunity shop in Mosgiel. Two opp shops at least here. Wanted a place to stay the night, but could've ventured back home. Drove back after visiting Mosgiel's opp shops. Also getting sushi lunch there. Drove up, met reception, had a look at the room available, asked the price, then said "I'll take it." Later upon my return, I settled in and can report well worth staying. The room reaches my expectations, even the jug was clean, some places jug has rust inside! Thank you to Regency Motels Mosgiel. (In closing, HeHe, I often wonder with these reviews, what it would be like, if the host was to write a review about---ME!? And other guests report of me, same. Maybe Neighbours of my unit might be writing noisy night, as neighbour was snoring, other than that, the resort was superb). Regards Dcuzbromatov.”

“Cannot say enough about this wonderful condo. Very clean, comfortable & well appointed. Spectacular view of the harbor. Perfect location, close to everything you want to enjoy in Auckland. Great restaurants close by. Right next to the cruise ship pier & the ferries to the outer islands. One small issue was addressed immediately. Highest recommendation.”
