The Grand by SkyCity

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and nice hotel. Good breakfast."

Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group

10/10 Excellent

"Always love staying at the Cordis for the great Club Lounge, amazing buffet breakfast, relaxing heated outdoor pool/hot tub/sauna/steam room/ice treatment, well-stocked gym and absolutely divine treatments! Once again, the cordis did not disappoint, even charged my car on Valet parking. We will return over and over again - our only hotel choice in Auckland."

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Travel to Christchurch bi-monthly on Thursdays for work, stay at the Commodore for first night (work pays). Then I stay the weekend at the Ramada. Last week I couldn't get into the Ramada on Tuam. So booked in at the Breakfree. I was pleasantly surprised. Dbl bed, internal glass corner bathroom. Bed very comfortable, and pitch black when lights are off as no windows. Great shower and good linen and towels stayed 3 nights. Right in town so walking distance to CBD, Arts preccinct, great food selection and Riverside markets. I ate out 3 days for breakfast, so can't comment on buffet breakfast. Looks good and will try it next time. Staff friendly and housekeeping. Highly reccommend this jem."

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent. We were upgraded to a studio self contained room at no extra cost. This was great as we had washing machine/dryer and kitchenette, giving us option to wash clothes after big day and cook food if required. Great hotel that has made our stay memorable."

Kamana Lakehouse

8/10 Good

"Very quiet location close to Queenstown central . Room was serviced to a high standard , restaurant staff lovely . Breakfast is expensive but had on last day and was not disappointed. Only downside encountered was it was park where you like so if you weren’t in car park late afternoon early evening often no parks left in complex . We stayed in a 2 bed room, good size , large shower space but bathroom on the small side. Overall great stay and would recommend."
