Lodges in South Island

'Very nice place. Nothing to complain about. Coffee was good…and FREE!'

'Absolutely Lovely Family Run Boutique Hotel The family are lovely and could not be more helpful! Jo,Pete and Sally made us feel so welcome from greeting us on our arrival to organising a lovely breakfast! The location has stunning views over the surrounding countryside with the mountains framing the picture ! Beautiful!'

'We had the most comfortable 4 day stay at Ratanui. Everything was better than expected! What made the stay exceptional was the amazing staff. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and right at home. The chefs and the menu were such an unexpected surprise! The food and presentation so far exceeded our expectations. 5 stars all the way!'

'Nice staff: Alex was very friendly and enthousiast. Nice pool table. Big room. Nice terrace. Nice walkway through the wood to town. The building was very outdated. Dark furniture. The bathroom needs a renovation. Shower without a wall around it and drain doesn’t pass the water quickly so the whole bathroom was full with water (almost 1 cm high) which was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was not nice. Clinical atmosphere and nothing special. The second day we went for breakfast to another place.'

'We spent a week there and overall it was pretty good. Having a kitchen was handy, allowed us to make our own breakfast and dinners which saved from eating out all the time. Unfortunately, daily cleaning wasn’t up to scratch, often they didn’t replace bathroom mats, face towels and some kitchen food sanitation essentials. The kitchen closed at 5pm so you would have to make sure to place your orders before 4.30pm for pick up by 5pm. There was a lot of construction, which I assume would be great...

'An incredible experience. We could not fault our stay at all. It is so well situated to Queenstown & Arrowtown, the views are stunning, the buildings are jaw dropping & grand. The staff are above and beyond. Always welcoming and go out of there way to may you feel at home. Stonridge is our favourite place to stay when visiting the area.'

'Incredible place on the stunning Lake Pukaki with views directly across the lake to Aoraki/Mt Cook. Sunrise and sunset just stunning. We licked out with the weather. The night sky experience was fantastic. Expensive, meals included, and worth every cent.'

'Breakfast was among the best we’ve ever had. The staff paid attention to every detail. Eco friendly touches did not detract from comfort and convenience. Glenorchy was peaceful and quiet and a perfect antidote to ski days in Queenstown. One of my favorite spots was the covered outdoor fireplace savoring a hot chocolate or a whiskey on a freezing night. I live a long way from New Zealand, but hope to return at some point.'

'Everything was great.'

'Leuke ruime accomodatie, heel groot en van alles voorzien. Goede wifi, rustig gelegen, zeer nette staat. in de tuin een paar speel dingen voor kinderen'
