Frequently asked questions

What is the nightly rate for a guest house in South Island?
Rates for South Island guest houses vary, but travelers can find great-value prices from $90 with Expedia. A range of factors can affect nightly rates, such as the location, the breakfast offering, and the range of amenities. Travelers looking for a good deal should consider looking for a midweek stay, as weekend rates at South Island guest houses tend to be higher. Remember to also use our filters to sort prices from low to high.
What's the difference between a South Island guest house and a B&B?
A guest house in South Island is typically a larger establishment with more rooms, offering a more hotel-like experience, and may provide additional amenities including luxury bedding. In contrast, a B&B is usually a smaller property that focuses primarily on providing a room and breakfast. A B&B is often more personal, and breakfast is typically included as part of the stay, but other services might be more limited compared to a guest house.
