the kitchen, the staff, the rooms. regarding the facilities is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. Great amenities, and common spaces like a movie room, the rooms are nice, you have a toilet inside the room but also there are public toilets which are very practical. overall everything is awesome.

I loved everything about the property! In fact, I would’ve chosen it and stayed here for the four days of my trip to southern island if I had known it was so wonderful and it would be enough for my trip to NZ. It’s has the best location in the small town of Tekapo and it is in walking distance to major scenic lookouts and restaurants. It has the best views that picture what paradise could be like.

Originally scheduled to stay for a couple of nights, my wife and I ended up with a serious case of the flu on arrival. We managed to extend our stay by an extra 3 days. This was a lifesaver for us and our dogs. The staff here are exceedingly kind and helpful, and I mean all of them. We have stayed at lots of places, at both ends of the spectrum but the Montreal is a whole other level of great. Beds,rooms,bathroom,balcony and basically everything else is top notch,100% spot on. Thank you so much for looking after us.

    Beautiful property and loved seeing the deer outside our window. The room itself was a 10+. Bed was super comfortable and the shower was wonderful. As excellent as the property was the staff and food were really the standouts. From being greater by the staff at our car when we arrived, arranging for a last minute spa treatment, to arranging a Breakfast box when we left at 4:45am to head off to our Dolphin encounter the staff was amazing. Both the included Breakfast and Dinner were Fabulous! Wish we had time to try lunch as well. Definitely on our list when we visit again and would stay longer.

    We were welcomed immediately by Sharon, the manager, and she also helped us carry our luggage upstairs. Because we are elderly she asked if there was anything we needed to make things easier for us, eg. a downstairs apartment rather than upstairs. We loved the view from upstairs. We offered to fix a squeaky door hinge but a handyman came and fixed it the moment we mentioned it. Sharon was full of ideas and suggestions for meals and activities. They all worked out well.

    Lots to see and do in Christchurch. We had 2 full days to explore and managed to see/do the hop-on/hop-off tram, punting on the Avon, the gondola (plus walk from the top down to Lyttleton), the earthquake museum, the cardboard cathedral, New Regent St, Riverside Market and a stroll around the beautiful botanic gardens. Ran out of time to visit the Art Gallery and Willowbank Wildlife Park which were on our list.

    I have been Late Tekapo 3 times, it is more expensive than it was. My recommendation is, stargazing is the only reason to make you stay in Lake Tekapo. Otherwise you could find a better and less expensive accomodation nearby.

    My husband and I have been coming to Twizel for several years now. My husband comes for the fishing and I for the photography. We have stayed in all seasons. This time it was July middle of winter. Didn't catch any fish but I got some great photos. Had a lovely meal out at Poppies. Would recommend them. We were disappointed with our accommodation, but it didn't ruin our stay in Twizel.

    Mount Cook Village is a great location if you are planning to do some walks in the area. We did the Hooker Valley Track, Sealy Tarn Track, and the Tasman Glacier View after which we were exhausted and travelling to another location would have been a bit much. Staying at the village was the best decision. At night you can travel slightly out to get the most exceptional views of stars and in the morning you wake up to unbelievably beautiful views of mountains. If you are lucky you might just get some snow.

    Timaru is a delightful town set in mid Canterbury, and is strategically located so one can enjoy day trips inland. The town itself is prosperous. Caroline Bay is a delight, and has been developed to be a destination for families in particular. There are a range of eateries to cater for different tastes and pockets! An interesting range of cultural attractions worth viewing too.

    We loved the French village vibe.

    We loved the French village vibe. The shops and cafes are lovely. At The Brasserie, I mentioned it was my husband’s 70th birthday and the owner brought out a caramel slice with a candle! Loved walking along the waterfront and enjoyed a short bush walk with views, near the lighthouse. The Tini House is in a superb setting right by the water and also great gin cocktails and pizza. We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Ma Maison with a lovely waitress. Had a superb wine tasting at Caldera Estate with oysters and a freshly baked seed loaf with olive oil and herb butter. Lovely staff, especially our French waitress, Solene. The bakery in the village bakes delicious bread daily, and the butchery has superb meat products and an excellent variety of deli items. Had a great pizza lunch at French Farm Estate and enjoyed chatting with the friendly family who own it.
