10 Condos in New Zealand: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 1, 2023 Renato Branum

Forever remembered for its "The Lord of the Rings" legacy, New Zealand’s landscapes are deserving of their big screen fame—think lush rolling hills, volcano-sculpted moonscapes, UNESCO-listed glaciers, and white-sand beaches. Cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Queenstown follow suit, with photo-worthy scenery and a laid-back vibe.

Great location

Reviewed By ChrissyFrog

This was a great find! We had a road side studio (so no real view) but it was perfect. Didn’t notice the road noise. Well appointed bathroom and room in general. Kitchen was in a cupboard but very functional for what we needed. Free parking on site was a bonus and it was only a 10 minute walk to town. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again. Only trouble was the number of stairs!

Ok, shame about the odor

Reviewed By NGPaterson

Stayed here courtesy of my company which I was very grateful for. The room was fine but the windows can be above head height, and there was an odour. Unfortunately the windows do not open so I had a dehumidifier installed but it didn’t help enough. Location is good though and they had a car park. I would not recommend.

Strongly recommended visit and accommodation

Reviewed By dgmiller48

Wonderful and unique setting, short walk to the beach which is a superb view from the accommodation. It was amazing to see Hectors dolphins playing in the waves. The accommodation was excellent and well appointed, and we particularly appreciated Kimberly’s help in accessing the laundry, especially as there was a water shortage at the time. There was some confusion about our second night’s booking and we negotiated splitting the cost in the interests of both parties. Much appreciated! Curio Bay is a must see. We did miss the yellow eyed penguins but maybe we should have waited longer as darkness descended.

We return time and time again to Abri apartments Helen and Peter are wonderful hosts and have the best position in Paihia. The apartments are very well appointed and spotlessly clean, this is where I want to give a big shout out to Mo , it is due to her excellence at maintaining the apartments under Helen’s initial guidance ( personally I think the housekeeper is the key to any accommodation and after traveling the world for over 20 years, I can definitely say Mo is the only person that can keep a place spotless and extremely hygienic. You could eat off the floors. Thanks Mo xx) Hope to keep returning on an annual basis Diane and John Mcqueen

We had an awesome stay at the Mantra in Lake Tekapo. Huge apartment and everything you would need for a family of 4. Also very clean and serviced daily. Heating was great as the weather was cold. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook as the restaurants were all booked or closed in the town.

Stunning Service and Accomadation

Reviewed By LeggesHawera

Having to come to Auckland after the sudden death of my father we were pleased to be able to book our first night at the Quest, but disappointed we couldn’t stay for the duration of our visit. Again superb service on arrival which was again surpassed after lunch. Arriving back at the hotel , Atek the duty manager advised us that due to a cancellation and changes made by the staff we could in fact stay at the Quest for our time here. Atek your empathy, efficiency and caring made a difficult situation so much better. The Quest Hotel is indeed fortunate to have you as an employee and you will always be remembered by us for your caring and genuine understanding. The word has been spread around my family and friends. Well done Atek and the Quest. Again nothing but superb service and accommodation. Thank you. Mike and Kay Legge. May 09 2022.

Comfortable and clean

From check in to check out I found the experience good. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed itself was a bit hard and resembled a place that needs an upgrade, however my sleep was not terrible. Noise from neighbouring restaurants was a little annoying.
