Disliked: Amenities
Fairly basic, but at a good price and probably better for a longer stay with your own supplies - we were only there for one night. A good location for using as a base and travelling around the region and the facilities will be fine for self catering etc..Supermarkets and a couple of reasonable restaurants and bars in walking distance which is helpful.

Cute little chalet, easy check in. Clean bed, nice kitchenette. Not too far from Christchurch, great launching point for Lake Tekapo, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, and Wanaka. Can walk to downtown/restaurants, a park with old machinery just across the road kids might like.

An affordable (non-camping) choice to base yourself for the Hooker Valley and surrounding hikes. The A-Frame rooms reminded me of school camps. Lots of timber and basic facilities. The room was clean and large and had everything you need. Great location, plenty of parking and the star gazing was incredible.
