Top Kirkliston Hotel Reviews

Sierra Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and homely motel. The family was friendly and helpful providing information on the town upon check in. Room was spacious and clean as well and we had a comfy night stay. The only downside was that there were some flies in the bathroom which we didn’t know came from where as all the windows were shut"

Ahuriri Motels

8/10 Good

"The so-called studio room was clean, just a bit small for two people since there was not really space for the luggage of two guests as there was no cupboard and no luggage holders. The bathroom was clean and functional but again a bit small and the shower was a wet one which made the majority of the floor wet after a shower although the curtain reached the floor. It is a nice place though and it has a laundry room which we used for a reasonable price. The parking was free and altogether, the price was very reasonable for what you got."

Pukaki Air Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning location, great welcome from Mary & nothing was too much trouble Thoroughly recommend"

High Country Motel and Backpackers

8/10 Good

"The room is smaller than it looks in the photos. All other facilities work well, except the Wi‑Fi signal is quite weak."

Twizel Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"As close as you can get to the national park without staying there - would highly recommend"

Lake Ruataniwha Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"The quad cabin where we were staying had strong wood smell, we didn’t feel comfortable with. Very friendly staff, good shared kitchen facilities."
