New in 2019, this 5-star boutique hotel is ideally located on Victoria Street in the city of Christchurch, amongst a variety of cafes, restaurants and bars. The location was good for walking.

Poshtel

Hotel in Oamaru

Boasting a shared lounge, bar and views of city, Poshtel is situated in Oamaru, 38 km from Moeraki Boulders. The accommodation features luggage storage space and free WiFi throughout the property. Everything was excellent. The common room is decorated to the nines with all kinds of interesting things. Breakfast was a continental breakfast, but with plenty of choices and fresh bread. The location is not completely perfect as it is located right next to Highway 1. However, the windows are very well insulated and the hotel even provides earplugs, which I didn't need as at night there was not much traffic. Otherwise it is within easy walking distance of the historic Victorian downtown area, the Steampunk Museum, and even the penguins.
