Hotel location: Above and beyond, can reach the town centre within 10 mins by walk.
Cleanliness: Very good
Service: Perfect, all staffs are helpful. The only issue during my was the expensive gym access.

The environment is beautiful, and the alpacas are well cared for. I booked the tour in Mandarin, and the staff was very enthusiastic and funny, and also offered to take pictures. The whole tour, from the explanation to taking pictures with the alpacas and feeding them, is followed by a choice of coffee, tea, or juice, along with a cookie. The whole experience takes about an hour. Because it's popular, you can't wander around after the tour; they need to prepare for the next group of visitors! Although it's not long, it's definitely worth it. The alpacas don't smell at all, and they're very friendly and super cute.

“Punting on the River Avon was such a relaxing and memorable experience. The guide was absolutely fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating stories about Christchurch’s history. Gliding along the river while learning about the city’s past made the whole experience even more special. A must-do activity when visiting Christchurch.”

I recently went on the Akaroa Dolphins Harbour Nature Cruise, and it was easily the highlight of my trip! If you are a nature lover, this experience is absolutely worth it.
The Highlights
The wildlife sightings were spectacular. We were incredibly lucky to check off the "big three" of the harbor:
Hector’s Dolphins: The absolute stars of the show. Seeing these rare, playful dolphins up close was a magical experience.
Albatross: We were treated to the sight of these majestic birds gliding effortlessly over the water.
New Zealand Fur Seals: We spotted several seals lounging on the rocks, which added a lovely touch to the coastal scenery.
A Quick Tip for Travelers
It is worth noting that the sea swell can get quite high once you head out toward the harbor entrance.
Overall, the crew was professional, the scenery was breathtaking, and the wildlife encounters were once-in-a-lifetime. I can’t recommend this cruise enough!

The whole tour was amazing, although the itinerary was a bit hectic. Except for Mt. Cook, the other stops were quite short — just enough time to snap a few photos before moving on to the next spot. It’s understandable since the destinations are quite far from Christchurch. They also provided free lunch and snacks (chips), which was a nice touch

Value for money if you select from their menu of activities, which covers a lot.
