Top Balcairn Hotel Reviews

The Redwood Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A nice tidy room. Wifi was good. The shower pressure in my room was a bit weak but acceptable. Service from the staff was excellent. They even arranged a car park for my car and trailer. The Redwood Tavern is part of the building and I had two meals I there which were great. The service in there from the bar staff to was top notch. I'd certainly come back to stay."

Clearwater Quays Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful location! The views are lovely, and the place was clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. The only recommendation we would have is to add curtains in the lounge area to block out the strong afternoon sun. We tried to enjoy a family movie with the kids in the afternoon, but unfortunately the sun was so bright that we couldn’t see the screen at all. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and thought the place was lovely!"

Riverlands Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

Northwood Motor Lodge

Peppers Clearwater Resort Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this place. It was absolutely stunning with the lake front view. Quiet and peaceful - exactly what I needed."

North South Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Self-contained 2 bedroom unit was great. Stayed for work - everything works as it is supposed to and was clean, tidy and comfortable."

Rangiora Eco Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"Nice cozy place, would stay again."

Wayside Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We contacted them a couple of days prior to say that we would be arriving late at night. It was a cold night at 22.00 when we got there. What a wonderful surprise to find a light left on, the heating on and the electric blanket on. It just brought a smile to our faces. Such thoughtfulness. We were really impressed."

The Amberley Hotel

8/10 Good

"We needed a stop over on the way to Nelson. The Amberley exceeded our expectations. Clean comfortable and great amenities. Bed was super comfortable and shower was hot! Fantastic"
