Kaikora hotel was absolutely astonishing from the meals down at the hotel - which I definitely recommend, to the lovely Alexa in the room to give you just the information you need. Sudima hotel had an amazing heated pool with a breathtaking view of the mountains and beach beside. You can save some money if you book directly through the hotel website after subscribing as a Sudima member.
The unit is complete with 1 bedroom with ensuite bathroom, kitchen and living hall. Washer and dryer is hidden behind cabinet at the kitchen area. Kitchen is fully functional with induction stove(depending on which unit you being assigned), microwave and all utensils needed to cook a complate meal.
The best part is the bus stop right opposite Fino has bus to airport no. 29. You may pay in cash or debit/credit card ( not all buses has this). A trip to airport by cash is NZD4 for adult and NZD2 for kids above 5. Below 5 is free.
The hotel is quite new, room is very spacious and bed and pillows are super soft and comfortable. We spent 2 nights in Christchurch and it is about 15 mins walk to Bontanic garden and 20 mins walk to city area where many eateries and shopping are . The front desk staff and manager are very friendly and helpful and when we came in on early morning on Friday , they allowed us early check in and this really helped us as we were so exhausted after a red eye flight. The cafe at the hotel served great food and drinks as well and usually they are very crowded but we managed to have our breakfast there on the day we check out , yummy breakfast indeed!
From Queenstown to Christchurch, I stayed in this old building from 1917, which was renovated by the University of Canterbury. The interior has obvious signs of renovation, and it is quirky and gorgeous, surrounded by art centers. The hotel is small and exquisite, and has a special style. The design and decoration of the room are very beautiful. It is only a 10-minute walk to the mall, which is very convenient.
It is a long-time old hotel, but the kind of traditional hotel that is well maintained, the service is in place, and it is located next to the botanical garden. The room is unexpectedly large, equivalent to one bedroom and one living room and a balcony (although we did not enjoy it full of dust), the tableware is also very complete, it is worth mentioning that his bath lotion moisturizer has a pine fragrance, the quality is super good, love, good.
The twin room I booked was very big, perfect for bringing children. The room has a kitchen, so you can cook simple meals, with tableware, dishwasher, dishwashing detergent, dishcloths, and everything else. It was surprisingly good. There weren't many varieties of breakfast, but the taste was really good, especially the corn hash browns and fried noodles. Highly recommended.
The environment is very good, the breakfast is super rich, the host is a very enthusiastic couple, the location is on the mountain, but not far from the attractions, it is very convenient to drive, next time I go to Christchurch, I will stay here.

Very Good
GGuest UserI was a bit disappointed. I was expecting this to be a 5 star place, but there were a lot of things that were definitely not 5 stars. The robes were grey and didn't cover bigger people. One of them had pilling all over it, I didn't want to even wear it. The bathroom door squeaked loudly, so if one person got up to the toilet in the middle of the night, it woke the other person up. There were instructions on how to use the spa bath, but not on how to put the plug in. It didn't just plug in normally. We weren't able to use it on our first night which was very frustrating as it was one of our main attractions. I rang housekeeping the next day. Someone came and had a look and said that you had to turn a know on the side of the spa, how would anyone know that? The lock on the door to outside was broken and a small slide lock had been put on. Why not fix the main lock? I used the toilets to the side of the library and when I washed my hands, the tap was all loose and wobbled round. All these things are little but show that the lodge needs to have things fixed or updated. For $300 per night, you expect the best. The worse thing was on our last morning, we got to breakfast about 8:45, the restaurant closes at 9:30 am. There was continental and scrambled eggs and bacon. At about 9:00 am they stopped bringing out anymore bread to toast. No more croissants, eggs or bacon were brought out. There were about 6 tables with guests and everyone kept going up and checking, but they didn't refill. People were saying, they must have run out of food! But for some reason the waiter kept lifting the lids to the egg and bacon to see what was in there, but of course there was nothing as he hadn't refilled it and he was the only waiter!! I was really disappointed and wouldn't recommend it, unless you are getting a really good discount.

GGuest UserMy husband and I were together for the winter holiday. We very much enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We can’t say enough the host or hospitable the premises were nicely appointed. It was located close to a beautiful botanical gardens as well as a beautiful college campus as well as stores and restaurants. We would highly recommend anyone who would stay in the area to stay at this place. Be aware that it is not a hot breakfast.
GGuest UserThe room is very big and very good, just like a large flat floor, with its own jacuzzi, the balcony is to see the golf course, the only bad thing is that the hot water has a limit of one time ~ can use 260L, it takes an hour to use it.
GGuest UserWe enjoyed our four nights at this motel. It is well maintained, friendly and runs very smoothly. We found our unit had everything we required to meet our needs. Much thought has gone into the successful running of this business. Providing fresh towels for the hot pools and bike storage were some of the standout features for us. We would certainly stay there again
GGuest UserBeautifully renovated old building. Our host was very friendly and informative. Nothing was to much trouble. We had a very enjoyable stay. Very warm and comfortable. So far our favourite place on our trip by far. Would highly recommend 5 stars all day
