Top Waikari Hotel Reviews

Cottage within the magical gardens of Flaxmere

Cottage within the magical gardens of Flaxmere

10/10 Excellent
"This is a magical spot in Penny's incredible gardens! Even on soggy winter days, we enjoyed wandering the property, and the fire kept us toasty warm in the cottage. Our family enjoyed the thoughtful touches, tea/coffee and basics for cooking (oil, condiments). We loved having so much space to stretch out, and the comfy beds. The shower was unfortunately a piddle, extremely unsatisfying and took ages ages to rinse off. The place could have used a bit more of a thorough clean (especially bathroom and the drawers/floors in the bedrooms), but overall, it was fantastic value, warm and inviting, and a peaceful escape. We enjoyed talking to Penny, and reading about the history of the property. Hopefully we'll be back!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Waikari?
The best area to stay in Waikari is directly within the small village center, as it offers the most convenient access to local amenities and the surrounding natural beauty.

Waikari is a small, quiet village, and its main area is centered around the intersection of State Highway 7 and Waikari Valley Road. Here, you'll find the local general store, a cafe, and the historic Waikari Hotel. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, providing a tranquil setting.

Couples looking for a peaceful escape will find the village center ideal. It offers a relaxed pace, with opportunities for scenic drives through the Waipara Valley wine region or enjoying a quiet evening at a local establishment. The proximity to vineyards makes it convenient for wine tastings and exploring the local produce.

For solo travelers seeking a quiet retreat and a base for exploring the Canterbury region, staying in the village center provides easy access to hiking trails and the natural landscapes of the nearby Weka Pass.
When is the best time to go to Waikari?
The best time to go to Waikari is during the warmer months, specifically from late spring to early autumn (November to April).

During this period, you'll experience pleasant temperatures and generally more settled weather, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the Canterbury region. This is particularly beneficial for travelers interested in outdoor activities like hiking, vineyard tours, or visiting the nearby Waipara Valley's wine estates. The longer daylight hours also allow for more extensive sightseeing.

For those planning to visit the local attractions such as the Weka Pass Railway or exploring the surrounding rural landscapes, these months offer the most comfortable conditions.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
