New Zealand Hotels New Zealand Style
So, what are New Zealand Hotels? Well, we like this description of a hotel A superior house for the accommodation of strangers.
Thing is New Zealand Motels and Hotels treat you as a long lost friend more often than not. True you will always have the aspect of a hotel that caters for the business visitor but for you my travelling buddies on holiday… well, Hotel accommodation in New Zealand can’t wait to share what they have to offer!
Now chuck into this mix the flair of your hosts, their rich culture, the beautiful surroundings and fabulous fresh food and you have the essence of a great Hotel.
Hotels and Motels in New Zealand fall into 4 broad categories,
1 Luxury New Zealand Hotels
2 Standard New Zealand Hotels
3 Boutique accommodation New Zealand
4 Motel accommodation New Zealand
1 Luxury New Zealand Accommodation in Hotels
For a country of few people in a land so large it is quite amazing the number and quality of hotels in Aotearoa. You’ll find the chain hotels (International and home owned) well represented throughout both islands, and as you would expect the largest number and greatest choice in Auckland. A number of these hotels have sports facilities.
2 Standard New Zealand Accommodation HotelsThese are in the main your chain hotel (Novotel, Copthorne, Best Western NZ etc) cropping up in most of the larger towns and the main cities. Still maintaining a recognised quality of accommodation your standard hotel is often orientated to the business traveller and the package holidaymaker. New Zealanders generally don’t do the hotel thing. They are mainly into self-catering and make full use of the widespread availability of campsites and motels. Something I'm sure you will be checking out!
3 Boutique accommodation New Zealand
This is something new. Fast catching on in the major cities of the world, boutique hotels are small (can we say bijou…?) modern and at times sumptuous in their presentation. Charley says that they always remind her of film sets with lots of clean lines and always very fashionable.
They are not cheap generally but they provide an oasis of intimacy often lacking in the larger hotels. Not just found in the cities a surprising number are cropping up deep in country to give you that romantic feel to your New Zealand holiday.
4 Motel accommodation New Zealand
Now we move away from the luxury of a hotel room to probably one of the most common forms of accommodation in New Zealand. You can chuck Motor Lodges into the mix with Motels. You’ll find at least one in any New Zealand town. With the wonderful road journeys you can take in New Zealand motels are designed to help you on your way refreshed! Spacious and roomy most motels are self-catering with kitchen units, living room and more than one bedroom. They are ideal for families on their tours of New Zealand hotspots!
Smaller New Zealand motel accommodation is often referred to as studio rooms or accommodation and is generally designed for one or two people.
Wherever you stay you can be sure of unstinting hospitality in true Kiwi style and always a mountain of knowledge and advice to be shared for your benefit and enjoyment. So which New Zealand hotels are waiting just for you?
