We stayed in the lodge rather than the tree houses. Fantastic accommodation with wonderful attention to detail, and great facilities such as a large spa bath, gas fireplace. Breakfast and dinner were included, and these were excellent. Great views back towards the kaikoura range, and a 15 minute walk will get you down to the beach for more fabulous views. The Lodge arranged whale watching for us, and were very helpful in answering any queries we had. Would definitely stay again.

It’s very close to the airport, it has free parking and free shuttles to the airport (which came in very handy as we had to leave at 4 am). We are not sure whether the airport gets closed during the night, but it was surprisingly calm and quiet in the room during nighttime. The staff were very kind and nice as well.

Gorgeous city, we were only there for a pitstop but will spend two nights there on our way home. So pretty, lovely houses and buildings. Lots of grass/trees etc. Our experience with take away foods wasn't great, I think we are too spoiled living in Melbourne. Also groceries and food int he supermarket were SO expensive, which we had not expected. But a lovely city and friendly people.

Lots of 'view' at Lake Tekapo, but things to do as well! The Haka House Hostel was very clean and comfortable. And private for a dormitory ! Blinds around the bed meant that even though i was sharing a room with 3 others, it felt like i was in a wee room of my own. Great kitchen facilities, comfy lounge with the best view!

Twizel was an area for farming & sheep grazing until the NZ Govt decided to connect all the Alpine Lochs via a series Canals & Power Plants to create a Massive Hydro Power Scheme in the late 60's. It took nearly 20 years, but at the completion of the Power Project the Village of Twizel was established & the Power scheme workers & residents wanted the town to remain. Luckily they won the day & Twizel became part of The MacKenzie County Council set up & is now a Tourist Mecca for Alpine Enthusiasts. A great place to base yourself whilst visiting Mount Cook/Aoraki & the surrounding Ben Ohau Valley Region. Twizel still has that quaintness of a small Alpine Village, a quality that seems to have been lost in other nearby Tourist Meccas.

It was not the best time to visit what would normally be a lovely alpine village, due to a recent major storm event which felled a large number of trees. All the cycling and walking tracks in the forest were closed. We also had trouble with some driving, due to road closures not identified on websites. I enjoyed the thermal pools, despite it being wet at the time. The heating pools kept you warm and there was some shelter in the rain. I was glad to get a good discount on standard entry. It snowed whilst we were there, and it was very scenic seeing the big peaks snow covered in late October. We walked through light snow in the nearby Lewis Pass. We enjoyed some nice food in local cafes and assembled a healthier meal from a trip to the local 4 Square. I would like to come back when the tracks are reopened.

Timaru is a delightful town set in mid Canterbury, and is strategically located so one can enjoy day trips inland. The town itself is prosperous. Caroline Bay is a delight, and has been developed to be a destination for families in particular. There are a range of eateries to cater for different tastes and pockets! An interesting range of cultural attractions worth viewing too.

Mount Cook Village is a great location if you are planning to do some walks in the area. We did the Hooker Valley Track, Sealy Tarn Track, and the Tasman Glacier View after which we were exhausted and travelling to another location would have been a bit much. Staying at the village was the best decision. At night you can travel slightly out to get the most exceptional views of stars and in the morning you wake up to unbelievably beautiful views of mountains. If you are lucky you might just get some snow.

Methven is a good base for exploring, viewing the southern alps, the Rakaia Gorge and close enough to visit the Staveley Station Cafe for lunch or morning tea. The 4 Square in town is well stocked and the staff are lovely. As an outdoor painter, there is a lot of inspiring scenery to paint.
