Kerrie was extremely helpful and booked the most wonderful day trips to Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound for us prior to our arrival. This extra service meant we were collected at the door and didn’t have to endure the long drive to Milford and stopped at all the scenic views along the way. Everything in the room was quality and beautifully decorated. This was definitely the best motel that we stayed in during our three weeks travelling in the South Island of New Zealand.

PERFECT! I have to say that Clearbrook is the best stay amongst the 7 other motels i had stayed in during my 15 days of travelling in South Island. We had 4 adults and 1 infant, and we were given the duplex apartment. The apartment came with an ensuite washer, dryer, and even a dishwasher! The entire apartment was well maintained and super clean. The location is also incredible, just a short 2mins walk to the town shopping area. We had an incredible stay. Will highly recommend!

The location is slightly out of the main boundary of the city centre (towards north direction), and it takes a 10 minute walk. Breakfast is buffet style with limited choice. Staff very friendly and helpful. Modern hotel (seems rather newly constructed), so it is nice. Room is reasonable size but bathroom a bit small. We stayed here two nights before setting out to explore the South Island driving. Taxi to the hotel ~ $50; Uber would be cheaper at ~ $30-$35

We loved the whole place. Greg and Sue made us feel so welcome with their relaxed yet attentive style of hospitality. Our accommodation was so homely and perfect for our first night ever in New Zealand. The icing on the cake was Greg driving us, free, the following morning to the location nearby where we collected our campervan for our two week driving tour of South Island. A fabulous start to our New Zealand experience. Thank you.

Liked the atmosphere, friendly staff and the meals were fantastic, great beverage selection. Awesome place to unwind and relax when traveling around the South Island whether inside or outside by the fire which was my favorite place to have a drink or two Okay it was several 😀 but besides that it has become a favorite place of ours to stay and it was only for a night will definitely return thank you Cardrona Hotel.

The Lodge is very quaint and set in a quiet lane. Very good rooms with a wooden theme decord. The Breakfast was very nice. The Owners were very helpful. We were 3 cyclists from India riding across South Island. Due to some bike problems, We were late in our riding schedule. So on our request, The hotel even refunded a prepaid room stay as we had to check out 1 day earlier. Highly recommended. Rgds.

Picton is very nice, a ferry port between the New Zealand North and South islands. The gateway to the South Island. It was a panic booking due to other factors but by chance the apartment was free. Really would have liked to stay and have use of it for longer but life makes it's own design, it's own route like driving on a motorway without turnoffs!

Apartment with the most amazing views over the marina. Exceptionally well kitted out with everything you could need for eating in. Lots of glass to take advantage of the views. Fabulous place to start the South Island phase of our travels. A bonus when we got off the ferry to find we were 100m from our accommodation

Where to start! We loved this property, the best we’ve stayed in on our 3 month trip around both the north and south islands of New Zealand. We loved the space, the views, the access to the town and all the activities it has to offer. We would definely recommend this place for couples, friends, or families.

Out of 14 accommodations on our holiday in North and South islands of New Zealand, this was probably the best we stayed in. The host was magnificent and the quality (and quantity) of the inclusive breakfast as we stayed in the lodge was exceptional. The room was big, well equipped and comfortable.

It was such a happy time to have a kind host, dogs who like people, and people who love this space together. Accommodation was kept clean every day and was the best accommodation I personally experienced on the South Island. If I come to New Zealand next time, I will definitely visit again.

It was just about perfect ! We had an ocean front room on the top floor with a balcony...watched a beautiful sunset and listened to big sea waves on the beach A great situation with beach walking and lovely staff.. Thank you to them for our best stay in New Zealand's South Island

What incredible value for money. Our twin room for 3 people was only $115. This was the cheapest but best accommodation on our trip to the South island. New, clean, modern, the restaurant on site was a bonus. Large spacious room - huge! An absolute pleasure to stay at Hotel Nelson.

Hotel is not in the centre of Queenstown but there is a walkway over the road that leads directly into queenstown which we quite liked. Rooms were beautiful, very comfortable and we had a lovely 4 night stay at the end of 2 very busy weeks touring North and South island.

The town of Arrowtown New Zealand is a must on anyone's holiday list in the South Island. The Arrowfield apartments are the perfect place to stay. Lovely self contained comfortable accommodation with all modern cons. Perfectly located and quiet.

Friendly staff. And, I know it seems a simple request they had decent coffee sachets. previous stays around south Island had crap coffee. Breakfast was excellent in quality and value. Hotel next door had great meals.

Very beautiful spot on West coast of South Island. Beaches were deserted and fantastic. Nightime skies a treat with star gazing. Hotel owner was gracious and helpful. Room was good, quiet, clean.

Cleanliness, friendliness of owners and where it was situated and value for money. We will stay here next time we come to the south island of New Zealand.

Best surprise while traveling east coast of the South Island. Beautiful well equipped apartment with a great view from a large balcony. Definitely a 10

Such a great base for adventures on the south island. Very comfortable apartments, felt like home. Great staff.
