Hotels with free wifi in South Island, New Zealand

"I arrived on time for check in at 2pm but they made me wait another 2.5 hours before giving me the key as they said they were still cleaning it. They first said it would be 1 hour but it kept getting pushed back. So after an exhausting day driving, I had to sit and wait in the lobby. They offered to give me an extra 1 hour checkout time but I couldn’t use it due to time restraints anyway so wasn’t very helpful. Also I organised a room with the lake view but my view was a tiny sliver of the lake that could barely be made out, my main view was a car park. I didn’t realise but the resort isn’t even lake front like they suggest, the main highway is actually between the lake and the resort. The apartment is a bit of a frustrating set up as well. Bedrooms and toilet is downstairs and living room is upstairs so wasn’t ideal for my older mother. Otherwise, clean and very modern. "

"Good in general "

"Great location for shops and city centre. "

"Lovely view of the lake from the lakeside suites. Worth the extra. Good amenities. 15 minute walk along the lake to town. Parking is charged at $15 à day"

"Great location , excellent hotel "

"Close to airport, easy check in and out. Comfy. Nice common area. Good kitchen facilities. My first pod needed some fixing but nothing major ."

"Beautiful view from kitchen but everything else was awful. Never been so hot in a dorm. Why air conditioning in the whole hostel but not the rooms? No towel included. And one of the 2 fridges was out so groceries stuffed in one fridge. Super expensive."

"Perfect staff, clean property easy access to town."

"Such a nice tidy park, with thoughtful touches like clean cloths to wipe the basins. "
