Ideally situated in Christchurch, The Observatory Hotel Christchurch features a buffet breakfast and free WiFi throughout the property. This 5-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and a concierge service. Private parking is available on site. This is a beautiful property, well finished with extremely helpful staff. We arrived here whilst a storm was hitting Christchurch and this property lifted our moods and relaxed us. It might be more expensive than the average hotel in Christchurch but is more than worth the extra cost.

Situated in Christchurch, 1 km from Canterbury Museum, The Mayfair features accommodation with a fitness centre, private parking, a restaurant and a bar. With free WiFi, this 5-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The property is 1.2 km from the city centre and less than 1 km from Christchurch Art Gallery. We were staying in another Christchurch hotel which was about a 15 minute walk away. The Mayfair is a little off from the CBD but walkable. Because it was my birthday, I believe our room was upgraded and we were quite happy with all aspects of the suite, from all goodies to bathrobes to a motion sensor nightlight on the way to the bathroom.

Situated in Lake Tekapo, 46 km from Mt. Dobson, Galaxy Boutique Hotel features views of the mountain. With a shared lounge, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a tour desk and luggage storage for guests. Awesome view, got take-out both nights to fully enjoy it. Getting breakfast served in the room (without surcharge) was definitely the right choice. Easy parking, close to the town centre (quick drive or short walk). Would stay again!
