Hemsworth Estate
Lovely old homestead set in beautiful grounds. Huge bedroom with a great ensuite. Breakfast was fit for a King - too much choice if anything! Lovely welcoming hosts with a family connection to the property makes for a real home stay. They welcome you into their home and share it with you. A pleasure ...

Hotel Ashburton
The place was exceptional and the food was great in the hotel restaurant. We will definitely stay again when we come back to New Zealand.

Coronation Park
Room was ok. Was clean and had what we needed except a tv that could recieve channels. When we reported it in check aas told oh yeah we cant seem to fix it. Not a big thing but would have been nice to have been told.
