We have just come back to Christchurch after spending 7 night quake break on the West Coast. Our first stop was three nights at the Lake Brunner Country Motel. We had a lovely cottage surrounded by bush. The cottage was very clean and all we needed for cooking etc. Just dont forget to bring food as the local On The... More

We stayed here in a campervan and found it to be a good if very quiet site. The welcome was warm and the site itself is clean and tidy. The facilities - shower block,laundry etc were good , clean and well equipped. Our pitch backed onto the golf course and we had a completely undisturbed night. There isnt much going... More

While touring the South Island, we stayed here after enduring a grotty motel in Kaikoura, and the contrast was extreme. This place is amazing. The units are set in very pretty, spacious gardens, with the units spread well apart, It would be perfect for an extended stay. Our hosts were most helpful, and could not do enough to make us...

We enjoyed a warm welcome and immediately saw that everything was kept scrupulously clean and tidy. We used the camper van plug-in site and enjoyed the use of all amenities for six nights. We viewed the cottage units and have booked one for January to bring family.

We stayed two nights at in chalet No 7 in February. The chalet is well appointed with all the amenities you need to have a relaxing break after travelling from Akaroa. Unfortunately the weather was not very good (rain over Lake Brunner), but we enjoyed a great day in Hokitika and the West coast. Afterwards we relaxed on the verandah... More

A beautiful place - with a relaxing and restful atmosphere. The quality and cleanliness of the accomodation has been one of the best we've encountered on our travels throughout the south island of New Zealand. We like walking - relaxing and good service. This place had it all. We normally don't write about places we stay at but this one... More
