The George

A stylish urban sanctuary within easy walking distance of Christchurch centre, The George is a welcoming and wonderfully comfortable place to stay. Expect innovative cuisine in the superb restaurant, impeccable service and works of art by some of New Zealand’s finest contemporary artists. Rich tan leather and bold teal velvet offer a warm welcome in the lobby, all 52 spacious rooms are also decorated in soothing neutral tones with those all important special details. The atmosphere is one of chic elegance but specifically designed with relaxation in mind. Following a leisurely breakfast on the terrace of 50 Bistro, wander through Hagley Park making sure to visit the Botanic Gardens. Then head for Cathedral Square or for a spot of adventure, arrange a balloon or helicopter flight for a bird’s eye view of the sea and mountains surrounding Christchurch.

Otahuna Lodge

At the heart of a 19th century Victorian estate, Otahuna Lodge seamlessly knits past and present together: period woodwork, stained glass windows and fifteen working fireplaces combine with a host of modern comforts and a rich collection of contemporary New Zealand art. Outside, Otahuna, which is Maori for little hill among the hills, has striking views over the Canterbury Plains and the Banks Peninsula. The song of native bellbirds invites guests to discover hidden glades, ponds and more than 120 different kinds of organic fruits, vegetables, nuts and mushrooms in the historic gardens.
