WOW! The resort and golf course are incredible. Renting the golf clubs was 30 NZD and we were allowed to keep the clubs in our room. The course was large and really well-kept. On top of that, the rooms had beautiful views, great amenities like a fridge, bath, and dining table, and we absolutely loved the comfy bed. The staff were incredible and we just had the best stay. We also met some amazing people with wonderful life experiences while we were there. We will be back!

    The location was perfect. It was less than a minute from any of the venues I needed to be at during my stay. The room was well appointed and spacious. The bed was super comfortable. The bathroom was well stocked, good water pressure and easy to control water temperature. The rain shower option was great and the switch from hand held to rain shower was easy to operate. The big windows all around allowed for plenty natural light and a great view across the city. Friendly helpful staff. The food in the restaurant was good too. Sadly, I did not get to enjoy breakfast as had to attend breakfast meetings both days.

    Excellent city with lovely warm people. The attractions are well planned within budget. The variety of food options is astonishing and available throughout, accommodating all pocket types. The Botanic Gardens are must visit especially for families. The tram ride is another must do activity as it covers historic and culturally important places with the tram rider giving excellent insights. The gondola is another activity which is amazing must do. The panoramic views are truly breath taking. A must visit city!

    I adore Lake Tekapo. Views for days. Good hot pools. Peaceful. A decent serious hike up Mt John to the Observatory Cafe or an easier one up to Cowes Lookout, both with amazing views. I've been going for years - still small but a good supermarket now and more eateries. It is getting busier and pricey, both accommodation and eateries. On the road to Queenstown so an easy stopover. Go with a car if you can - a side trip into Aoraki Mt Cook and walks up the Hooker Valley are worth it.

    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.

    Scenic, lots to do and locals are friendly. Really easy to get around the town centre on foot, everything is close together. Recommend stopping at some cellar doors in Waipara on the way through if you are coming from Christchurch. We hiked, went quad biking with Hanmer Springs Attractions, visited the Hanmer Springs Pools, dined out and shopped at various locations.. We even hired a Rocket bike to do a lap of town and get our bearings. We drove up the Hanmer Springs Ski Area but unfortunately, lack of snow and windy weather prevented us having a day of snow sports. Charming town

The information centre in Methven, "I-Hub" is a wealth of information and things to do. Off the beaten track, an alive, looked after, vibrant small town NZ with genuine charm and a smile.
