Clearview Lodge  

Out on the outskirts of Christchurch, about 9 km from the city centre. This 5-star bed & breakfast sits next to a golf course and is minutes from Willowbank Wildlife Reserve and Ko Tane, with Styx Mill Conservation Reserve and Murchison Park close by.

Rooms are simple and modern with flat-screen TVs, private balconies or patios on some rooms, and en-suite bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries, hair dryers, bathrobes and slippers. The vibe is relaxed and unfussy — think easy comfort after a day of exploring the surrounds.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or curl up in the on-site library. There’s an attached winery for tastings, a tour desk to book local excursions, and concierge service to keep plans smooth. Free Wi‑Fi is available on the property and free self-parking is onsite. Laundry, dry cleaning and a safe-deposit box are also offered.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and free self-parking make short stays and pit stops easy.

A complimentary breakfast is included to start your day. Sip local wines at the attached winery or grab a drink in the bar/lounge for laid-back evenings.
