Christchurch Botanic Gardens
5.0/5
Extraordinary gardens, went there beginning of February.
You can easily spend 2-3 hours just walking around and discovering the local flora. Check out the begonias house. A must see if you are visiting Christchurch!

1.5/5
We stopped here for a little romantic stop on our camping trip to avoid the rain.
We found that 70$ for a twin bedroom was extremely expensive! The showers were old, the room was basic (2 twin beds, nothing else in the room!). The only plus was the kitchen that was big and well equipped.
I wouldn't recommend staying there in a room (not worth the extra money) but maybe at the campsite...

Fiordland Great Views Holiday Park
4.5/5
Great campsite, so organised, best shower block we have had in NZ.
Very orderly kitchen with some cooking utensils. We had a tent. The sites for the tents were nicely mapped out and private.
And yes, you have to pay cash.
Info : the campsite/reception is closed between 12 & 2pm. So plan your arrival around that. (We had to wait outside the campsite for opening time.)
