Church Hill Boutique Lodge & Restaurant 5 stars

Half-moon Bay

With sea views, Church Hill Boutique Lodge & Restaurant is located in Half-moon Bay and has a restaurant, free shuttle service, bar, garden and terrace. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. Chris and Deanne are a great team. We enjoyed our conversations with them and their hospitality. We both liked the option to pick your breakfast time and select what you wanted from the menu. We stayed three nights and ate dinner there each night and were never disappointed, great selections too. Chris was more than willing to provide a lift somewhere when needed. We highly recommend a stay at Church Hill.

Rarakau Lodge

Tuatapere

Providing mountain views, Rarakau Lodge in Tuatapere provides accommodation, a shared lounge, a private beach area and barbecue facilities. Complimentary WiFi is featured throughout the property.

A continental breakfast is available daily at the lodge. It was great to finish the Hump ridge track and stay here. Room was basic, quiet and comfortable. The people running the place are friendly Would stay again and recommend to anyone doing the south track or hump ridge to stay a night either before or after to help rest before they journey off again. They are doing upgrades to the place slowly so in years to come this place will be even better.

The Garston Lodge

Garston

Situated in Garston in the Southland region, The Garston Lodge features accommodation with free private parking.

Queenstown Airport is 57 km from the property. The Garston Lodge is a heritage building. It is obviously older, but well maintained. Room was small, but fine for a single person. Tea, when I got there was much appreciated. Breakfast, self serve, was also excellent.
