Situated just 5 minutes from Christchurch International Airport, this hotel offers a free 24-hour airport shuttle service, plus an indoor swimming pool, a hot tub, sauna and a fitness centre.

Commodore Airport Hotel Christchurch features spacious rooms, conference/meeting facilities and plenty of free car parking. The award-winning native gardens provide a peaceful atmosphere. The hotel is conveniently located close to the airport. We were able to check in early which enabled us to drop our suitcases off before returning our motorhome, which was great. The pool and jacuzzi were fantastic. The hotel restaurant was delicious and affordable. The staff were very helpful, even in the middle of the night. To top it all off, we had to get to the airport at 4 a.m. and the hotel has a complimentary 24/7 airport shuttle available. Fantastic place to stay!

Alps Motel & Apartments provides air-conditioned rooms in Twizel. All rooms feature a kitchenette, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and a private bathroom. There is a terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. I was greeted very warmly which really sets the tone for the stay. I’m glad that there was a list of directions on how to work the washing/drying machine and dishwasher. I did some much needed laundry. The studio was spotless and new. It felt like I was staying in my own apartment. It was about a 45 min drive to Mt. Cook, but I enjoyed the drive.

Situated in Lake Tekapo, Canterbury region, Starlet 11 is located 46 km from Mt. Dobson. There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. There is a picnic area and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. We had an amazing stay at Scarlett 11 in Tekapo! The weather was absolutely perfect, allowing us to enjoy a breathtaking sunset right above the accommodation and a stunning view of the stars at night. The entire apartment was impeccably clean, and we especially appreciated the no-shoes policy, which made the space feel even more comfortable and homely. The washing machine worked perfectly—we used it twice—and all necessary cleaning and laundry supplies were thoughtfully provided. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and both the air conditioning and heating systems functioned flawlessly, ensuring a cozy stay. Our parents absolutely loved it, and my sister especially enjoyed running up and down the nearby hills. We also appreciated the convenience of having a hose just outside to wash our car. Plus, the location was fantastic—just a short walk from the town center, where we found the most amazing café. It was truly a memorable stay. Thank you!
