10/10 Excellent

"10/10. Great staff that match the place"

Hotel Give

10/10 Excellent

"I had a room without the attached bathroom, I was very pleased to see how many bathrooms there were. After imaging a queue I never saw another soul in the hallway let alone near the bathroom! This was a very busy weekend with 'Shakedown swing ' right next door. It was so handy to the black box, but with the Christchurch gardens and Hospital so close there are many reasons why you would choose this hotel There were also safe gluten free options and with a separate toster"

Crowne Plaza Christchurch by IHG

8/10 Good

"We were checked in by a fantastic young man who was extremely professional an asset to the check in staff. Room was beautifully appointed and clean with a beautiful view. Only downside was the milk and the shower. The small tubs of milk are painful to open and are not a great showcase of the quality milk we produce in NZ. The shower was frustrating, one min it was scolding hot then the next freezing cold the pressure was non existent I gave up in the end . After a long day a good shower would have been fantastic. Would certainly stay again"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Waimairi Beach?

The best time to visit Waimairi Beach is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the beach and outdoor activities.

During these months, you'll experience average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C, making it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and surfing. The long daylight hours also mean more time to explore the coastline and nearby attractions. This time of year is particularly good for families looking for a beach holiday, as the water is generally calm and inviting for children.

For those who prefer a slightly milder climate and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. Temperatures are still pleasant, averaging around 15°C to 20°C, and you can often find good value on accommodation. These seasons are great for couples who enjoy long walks on the beach and exploring the local area without the peak season bustle.

While winter (June to August) brings cooler temperatures and more rainfall, it can still be a good time to visit for travellers interested in coastal walks and enjoying the rugged beauty of the beach without the crowds.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Waimairi Beach hotel for you.
