Suited our needs well. The only grumble I have is that there are 2 separate taps for cold and hot water instead of 1 combined so that you can regulate the temperature of the water. Otherwise, it is a lovely place.

Beautiful and comfortable accommodation, property and staff were excellent, customer service was top notch. The booking site was disappointing though, as they didn’t send the pin to the lock box for the key ahead of arrival - if you book via this platform, please ensure they send you the virtual check in at least the day before your arrival, else book direct. We had to dial the emergency number and fortunately the staff came to our rescue very quickly. Kudos and thank you to the vicarage team!

Jenny was an outstanding host. The rooms were extremely clean and had all the amenities needed for a restful night. Breakfast was delicious and the icing on a perfect stay.

We stayed here on our way from Queenstown to Christchurch. Found it really easily and were greeted by friendly proprietors. Rooms were good sized, clean and well appointed (we had the 2 bed unit which included a kitchenette). Would happily stay here again.

Chose this motel as a stop over from Catlins to Christchurch. Richard was so kind .. we rang to say we would be late checking in and he reassured he will be around to wait for us and personally showed us to our room when we arrive. The room is so spacious with a little kitchenette and a round dining table that could sit 4 comfortably. Plenty of TV channels to keep you occupied. Great little stopover and I would highly recommend this spot for those who want to rest after a long drive. We slept...

What’s a holiday rental in Carew like?
Holiday rentals are private properties where you can stay for a few weeks, or just a few days, in Carew. Holiday rentals offer amenities such as hot tubs, fire pits and patios so you'll have all the conveniences of home. If you're concerned about cleanliness, a holiday rental can offer a sense of security away from public hotel lifts and busy concierge desks while still allowing you a great travel experience. You'll also find more space in a holiday rental than in a hotel, which is another reason why a holiday rental is an attractive choice for a small group gathering.
