Hostels in Canterbury, Neuseeland

A decent hostel in a not-so-far location from the centre. The kitchen and common areas are specious enough and kept clean daily regardless of careless people that were not taught how to clean after themselves. There’s parking available free of charge which is great with an alternative to park on neighbouring streets if full. The beds are not the best, very wobbly and noisy when you turn or tried to climb up. Separate sockets and lights by each bed are great. There are lockers but you need your own bad lock. Staff was polite and friendly.

Ich habe dort ein paar Mal geblieben. Freundliches Personal, saubere Zimmer und ich hatte ein schönes ruhiges Zimmer. Ich werde dort wieder bleiben.

Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer mit eigenem Bad. Das Zimmer war klein, aber sauber und funktional. Auch das Bad war sauber und mit den üblichen Annehmlichkeiten (Shampoo, Duschgel, Handseife, Föhn) ausgestattet. Ein Woolworth-Markt ist nur zwei Gehminuten entfernt, und der Flughafen ist zu Fuß in etwa 10–15 Minuten erreichbar. Die Gemeinschaftsküche mit Loungebereich war das Highlight – sie ist sehr geräumig und die Küche war super ausgestattet (viele Kochplatten, Mikrowelle, Backofen, Töpfe und Pfannen, Teller und Schüsseln, Besteck, Geschirrtücher, Gewürze, Öl und viele kostenlose Lebensmittel/Würzmittel). Wir nutzten die Küche gegen 17 Uhr und sie war recht sauber. Als wir jedoch am nächsten Morgen gegen 5 Uhr zum Frühstück zurückkamen, war sie etwas chaotisch, weil rücksichtslose Gäste nicht aufgeräumt hatten. Einziger Nachteil ist die schlechte Schalldämmung, aber angesichts des Preises und der Nähe zum Flughafen kann ich damit leben.

Kevin and June are friendly and approachable. The rooms are provided with the basic amemities. The location is convenient since we are driving. The only drawback is our rooms are on the upper level and there is no elevator.

**Comfortable Stay with Great Service** I had a pleasant stay at **Rosewood Court Motel**. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with all the essentials, including a comfortable bed and a small kitchenette. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and the parking was convenient. The staff was friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with any requests. The location was also great—close to shops, restaurants, and easy access to the city. Overall, it’s a good choice for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Das Zimmer, das wir hatten (mit zwei Einzelbetten), war sehr klein – im Grunde nur Platz für die Betten und einen Mini-Kühlschrank. Den Ventilator sowie unsere Rucksäcke und Taschen mussten wir unter die Betten schieben, sonst wäre es einfach zu eng geworden. Das Gemeinschaftsbad (inklusive Toilette) war jedoch sauber. Küche und Aufenthaltsraum sind gut ausgestattet. Die Lage ist ebenfalls praktisch – die Innenstadt ist bequem zu Fuß erreichbar.

I had a cosy and comfortable stay. The friendly staff at the reception offered a complimentary shuttle to the airport next morning, a service which I had not realized was available. The staff truly went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Thoughtful gestures included offering a bottle of fresh milk, which was an unexpected but lovely touch, as well as assistance in carrying of luggage to both room and on board shuttle van. All these small acts of kindness made me feel so welcomed, especially on my last night in New Zealand. :)

You cannot get closer to Mt Cook than staying on property in their national park. The rooms are like mini apartments with a full kitchen, dining and spacious sleeping area. There is a walk out terrace in the back. The price for this ensuite was less than the Hermitage but I believe a better value for the quality. We spent 2 nights here to actually wind down (1 night is too short) and take advantage of the trails. There are so many. As we knew we were getting rainy weather going in, we picked up some groceries n Twizel to make soup and salad on the first night. We did a walkthrough of the museum and planetarium show which is a short drive (4 minutes). For our last night, we dined at the Alpine buffet restaurant in the Hermitage which had an amazing assortment and local seafood (cured Aoraki salmon, prawns, mussels). We thoroughly enjoyed and took advantage of all that this area offered. Beautiful natural setting. You will not be disappointed staying here. The word motel is deceiving as it's more like mini-suites.

Haka House Mt Cook has a very convenient location right at the entrance of Mt Cook village, making it easy to access nearby attractions and hiking trails. The service was good, and the shared kitchen was well-equipped with everything needed for cooking. The only downside was that there were not enough storage luggage spaces. Overall, still a comfortable and convenient stay.

The twizel town is very beautiful and the place was at the right place. However, the room we choose wasn’t that great. I know it’s a small town but reception area was closed by 7pm so you need to make sure you arrive before time else need to message the check in time.
