Best Spa Hotel in Merivale

We rented the two bedroom apartment on the first floor for 160nz$ per night which is great price for the big rooms. Kitchen has a cooker, oven and microwave and fridge which were all in good working order. One room is a double bed with heaters on the bed and the other room had twin beds also with heat. There was an extra bed in the lounge area and a newish couch. Table and 4 chairs which need an upgrade . Curtains we new and nice. Parking was fine . They not so great things are the water pressure. Some days there were hardly any pressure. Cleaning could be better - and some days there were no house keeping which does not bother me too much but might be important for some. That said the request for clean towels etc were met promptly but very nice and accommodating owners. Location was great.

The hotel has Chinese and Western style breakfast, Chinese style porridge and mustard, and water eggs. The room has a small bed. The location is very close to the Botanical Garden Museum Square and you can walk. Free parking is available. There are many delicious restaurants on the street.

We had the pleasure of staying here mid March whilst mid move from Chch to Australia. Unfortunately we were caught up in the kerfuffle of pre lockdown and our flights were cancelled 5 times which meant we needed to keep extending our stay. Strathern lodge was very helpful and understanding and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in unit 8 with our wee dog and found the location perfect for walks, food, restaurants and town. We loved the nespresso in the room and all other facilities were spot on. Our only little problem was that the tv in the room did not work but this was a sky issue apparently and not a fault of theirs. I highly recommend them and will definitely rebook when we return for visits.

I stayed in a two-bedroom room. The overall room was spacious and comfortable, and it was very clean. The bed was comfortable and I slept well! If I have the chance, I will stay there again. The location is also very good. You can walk to the park to enjoy the flowers.

I had a wonderful one night stay at this establishment. The check-in was quick although the owner doesn't speak much English. Small parking lot in the back that can fit 3 cars and a few street spots in the front. The room also included a couch and a 2-person dining table. Everything was clean and cozy. There was a full kitchen with a stovetop, oven, water boiler, mini fridge with ice compartment, cooking utensils, cutlery, bowls, cutting board, bowls/plates, and salt and pepper. The kitchen and bathroom have doors so it limits the kitchen smells into the bedroom. TV has several channels. Shower had a great pressure and plenty hot water, hair dryer included. 2 air heaters available in room. There was provided bathroom toiletries. I was given 2 wifi code vouchers for 1GB each, speed was okay but not great. I was on the top floor; walls are thin facing the outside but overall noise was quiet. You’ll maybe hear other guests moving in and out of building. I would have been happy and comfortable with a long stay here; would recommend.

The three-bed house is just right, but the facilities in the room are simple.

We were looking for a room with a bit of space to wind down from our NZ holiday, and the Royal Suite fit the bill. It is a one-bedroom apartment, with a separate bathroom and loungeroom. It felt like a place where a downsizing couple could live permanently. Yes, it was that good. The hotel is located on the fringe of the CBD, with plenty of swank restaurants and nightspots within 5 minutes by car. But our room was quiet and peaceful, at the back of the property near the outdoor pool. In short, we loved this hotel and this apartment. We will be back next time we are in Christchurch.
