Lodging business in New Zealand

“Had a commercial shoot here today and were stoked to find out heaps of celebs have stayed here too! Staff friendly, and the brand team loved this place. Honestly, I reckon I might come back for a staycation sometime”

“We spent a night at the motel and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The cabin was an affordable and comfortable option. Spare blankets were available,the sheets were of a good quality and the room was warm. We slept peacefully and I love the country setting. A nice swimming pool is available which would be fun to use in the warmer months. It was a great location for us being near the Cape Palliser Lighthouse,the Pinnacles and Lake Ferry. The hosts were friendly and told us about things we could see and do. Hopefully we can return next year!”

“Lovely 3 night stay. Immaculately clean rooms, comfy beds, very quiet and simple breakfast available from very friendly hosts. Walking distance from the city and convenient location if you are coming from the airport - just get the No. 3 bus.”

“This motel is one of the top three motel rooms I've ever stayed in and I'm nearly 50 years of age...that's in Australia and here...certainly the best one we stayed at on our trip in New Zealand. The mattress has actually fixed my back from the previous motel rooms that we stayed in elsewhere on our trip. We got the top of the line room and it was so worth it... had everything and really spacious. The television has a normal remote control as well making it easy to use. The help and availability from the manager was really comforting as well...so friendly. Put a smile on the dial of my dearest and made for a great evening for the both of us. Only 200 metres from the only pub in town too...5 stars.”

“What a fabulous wee place. I came to Dunedin for study and stayed here for three nights. The room was a great size and really well set out. The shower was AMAZING, possibly best I have ever had!! The bed was super comfortable. The bathroom had a heated floor which was nice. The unit was lovely and warm. Parking was available. Nightly rates were good. The place was just wonderful. I would definitely stay again.”

“We loved staying here, perfect for what we needed. Warm and clean. Bon is wonderful. Would come back here definitely.”

“John and Mel are just the most lovely hosts! my husband and i stayed here for 1 night and were warmly greeted with over the top hospitality that made us feel right at home and comfortable! The historical home is beautiful, and the breakfast was so tasty! John was super knowledgable about NZ sights and points of interest- it was great to hear the story and history of the house as well!”

“The Vineyard Cottages are stunning! I spent a few days here with my friends and family before my wedding at Kumeu Valley Estate. The staff at the Vineyard Cottages are like no other, they are incredible! Everything you could think of was considered and they make your stay extra special. You feel like part of the family when you stay there. The rooms are perfect for 2-3 people to stay in and getting ready for a wedding it’s lovely being able to dip in and out of each others cottages. The small extras are such a luxury - mini jams, lovely bread, milk and juice in classic bottles and if you book the bridal package the breakfast platter is incredible. I would highly recommend this venue to any brides and her friends looking for a lovely setting before the big day or for anyone looking for a lovely relaxing escape in the country. An added bonus is the beautiful backdrop for photos! Thank you again Rae, Ellie and co ❤️ we will be back!”

“Epworth camp swimming pool and water heater”

“This was a really wonderful experience, we can not find one fault even if we tried, the facilities are fantastic the gardens superb with a gorgeous swimming pool and fabulous decor and the food in the restaurant is excellent. Nick was the perfect host nothing was to much trouble really welcoming and what made this stay really magical was Nicolas the food and beverage manager he has a wealth of knowledge around different wines, and his enthusiasm for the industry is really contagious we highly recommend a stay at Henley.”

“Comfortable room with a balcony overlooking the sea. I slept like a log to the sound of the waves and woke up to an amazing view. Recommended.”

“We held a set menu dinner thete for 40 people and can not speak high enough about the location, food, and service. Thank you, Christine, for the attention to detail and service from yourself, and the 2 young ladies serving us were excellent and very professional Highly recommend The building is stunning”

“This was our second stay in the villas. We really like the somewhat remote location (but not too remote), the quiet and the beautiful view from the villas. On clear nights, the sky is incredibly as there are not many other locations around. There are lots of birds to watch, and some are not even very shy. The villas are well equipped, nicely decorated and we appreciated the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge during our current stay. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious and provides wonderful bathroom products. We would definitely choose this location again. There are two things that might be worth improving: 1. The pool is always covered to avoid having to deal with falling leaves in the water. You have to uncover it any time you want to use it and cover it again after use. As a guest, this does not come across as very welcoming and it would be more convenient if someone to opened it in the morning and covered it at night. 2. If you stay for more than one or two nights, it would be nice if someone would exchange towels or bring extra towels and take out the trash. We did not expect that there was no service at all during our stay and this should be communicated more clearly.”

“The hosts, Bryan and Margaret were wonderful...! They would go the extra mile to accommodate their guests wants and needs. The facility and the rooms were very clean, and the beds were of good quality and very comfortable. Breakfast was always a pleasant experience with good food and conversations with the other guests that might last a couple hours. A very personable experience. The only down-side was the distance from the airport. Cab fee is spendy, but with a call, Miss Margaret may be able to make less expensive transportation arrangements.”

“I had a wonderful experience here! Breakfast is always ready, so even if you come down a bit late, you can still enjoy it. The hotel owners are very kind and the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. There are famous mountains and the sea nearby, making it convenient to go sightseeing. If you visit in summer, I would 100% recommend this place!”

“Classy, clean and comfortable. Also quite old school From the light switches to the window fixtures this place is anachronistically vintage. Lauren, the owner (manager?) is quite well traveled and intersecting to talk with. The place is right next to the beach and some rooms have a great view of the surfers trying to catch waves below.”

“I love this place. It's been a few years since I stayed, and wow! The refurbishment of the rooms are incredible. It's the cleanest newest tastefully designed decor I have experienced in a long time.”

“We stayed at Cordis for a girls’ night and it was exactly what we needed. From the moment we arrived, the staff were so welcoming and the whole place felt relaxing and calm. The facilities are fantastic – the rooftop pool was warm and we honestly felt like we were on vacation. Our room (21713) had a stunning view looking out over the city, the Sky Tower and right across the water to Rangitoto. Such a lovely stay and a great spot for a little getaway in the city. Would happily come back again”

“Staying at Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour was a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived the staff were warm and welcoming. The location is perfect with beautiful waterfront views and easy access to restaurants and the city. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to make us feel special. The housekeepers even gave my son a free KitKat which made him so happy. Small touches like this really made a difference.”

“Our family had a fantastic stay at The Sebel Manukau. We loved the accommodation—the suite was very spacious, providing plenty of room for all of us to relax and feel comfortable. ​The good breakfast was the perfect way to start our day, and we especially appreciated how incredibly welcoming the staff were throughout our visit. For travelers, the location is ideal, offering a quick and short driving distance to Auckland Airport (AKL), which made our morning departure absolutely stress-free. Highly recommend!”

“Wonderful hotel in a perfect location. The rooms are extremely comfortable in the pool. Deck is very modern and beautiful. We had to catch a late flight and they were super accommodating and allowed us to stay at the hotel until 2:00 p.m. for no extra charge.”

“It was an amazing final stop on North Island, we travelled by car from Auckland. Fully equipped room incl washing and drying machine, was a bless. Fully equipped kitchen if you'd like to cook during holiday time. Breakfast has some options however there's no coffee machine or veggie options. It's really close to historical/government city part.”

“We held our car clubs 25th Anniversary at the Grasslands, the venue and staff were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much”

“We spent the first night of our trip at The George (after much hassle with flight delays, which the team was extremely accommodating for!) was one of the most spectacular nights of our trip! The service was unmatched (Thank you Matt!) and George bear will be our travel companion forever! It was the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate after a long journey and breakfast the next morning was spectacular! My only complaint is that I couldn’t stay forever! I would come to Christchurch just to spend a night here again!”

“The accommodation was fantastic! I stayed here for 2.5 months and it was a really good stay. The hostel is clean, the staff is nice and the prison theme is really cool. If you want a special hostel experience, this should be your choice in Christchurch.”

“Great location for an airport hotel and surprisingly great food great view and wonderful staff. Highly recommend this as a hotel to stay before or after your flight. Beds were very comfortable and spacious rooms with good showers. Buffet breakfast is a must with great selections and as a platinum member we were given barista coffee. Unfortunately there wasn’t an executive lounge for us but still a great hotel.”

“Staying at Carnmore Hotel Christchurch was a remarkably satisfying experience. Friendly and helpful staff and I got my room ready even before the check-in time, which was very accommodating after a long tiring trip. The room size, its amenities and its facilities are what I'm just looking for. With a convenient location to bus stops, including a direct bus access to the airport and to the Bus Interchange. I am very grateful that I found this hotel on Trip.com, and if I ever have the chance to visit Christchurch again, I'll definitely stay here again”

“Excellent holiday park with very high-quality facilities: a great pool, a well-equipped shared kitchen, and an excellent barbecue area. The price is on the higher side, but in our opinion the value matched it. Two downsides: there are not many shower/toilet stalls, and there are quite a lot of flies in the evening and at night, which can be bothersome.”

“What a great campground! The pool and facilities are beautiful, well maintained and clean. I wasn't sure what to expect after the previous review but I was actually amazed with how nice and clean everything was and the bush behind makes it so tranquil! Lots of cool details including the swimwear dryer in the ladies changing room. Definitely keen to come back again!”
