Ideally situated in Christchurch, The Observatory Hotel Christchurch features a buffet breakfast and free WiFi throughout the property. This 5-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and a concierge service. Private parking is available on site.

Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Canterbury Museum, Christchurch Art Gallery and Hagley Park. Christchurch International Airport is 10 km from the property. This is a beautiful property, well finished with extremely helpful staff. We arrived here whilst a storm was hitting Christchurch and this property lifted our moods and relaxed us. It might be more expensive than the average hotel in Christchurch but is more than worth the extra cost.

Set within 3.7 km of Central Otago District Council and 34 km of Kawarau Suspension Bridge, Harvest Park Studios Accommodation provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Cromwell. With inner courtyard views, this accommodation features a patio. The aparthotel also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. New modern accommodation in an industrial park that is excellent value for money. The room has a small but functional kitchenette. The Cromwell has a lot to offer and Wanaka is an easy drive. We thought this accommodation was a good base to explore the region from. We loved the shower but best of all, it’s very close to Sanga’s Pies which are the best we have had in New Zealand.
