Hotels in Rakaia

With just 1 accommodation option within 10 kilometres of the centre of Rakaia, you'll have to move faster than a senior at a buffet table if you want to stay nearby!

In terms of a central location, you can't go past St. Itas Guesthouse. It's an excellent place to chill out after you've toured your way through the city centre.

Attractions and Hotels Near Rakaia

But don't just limit your sightseeing to Rakaia. Take some extra time to experience some of the fabulous sights and activities that the wider Canterbury region offers. The area features some amazing beaches, coastal plains, rivers and streams. After staring slack-jawed at nature's artworks, hit up well-known tourist sights like old towns, churches and cathedrals. Alternatively, have a crack at one or two popular local activities like snowboarding.

Still haven't uncovered the ideal room? You might just find a high enough thread count in Geraldine. You'll also be able to check out the Geraldine Vintage Car and Machinery Museum and the Geraldine Historical Society Museum. If you want to visit Geraldine, consider the rates at the Four Peaks Motel and Geraldine Top 10 Holiday Park. Alternatively, you could stay in Rangiora, 70 kilometres to the northeast of Rakaia, where you'll find the Riverstone Motel and Lilybrook Rangiora Motel. Lake Pukaki and the Darjon Vineyard are just some of the most popular points of interest to experience while in Rangiora.

Timaru can be found 90 kilometres from Rakaia and has a population of 28,000. When you're here, you'd be mad if you didn't have a gander at the Botanical Gardens, the South Canterbury Museum and the Trevor Griffiths Rose Garden. If you've got some time up your sleeve, continue on and check out the vibe at the DB Brewery and the Aigantighe Art Gallery. The Avenue Motor Lodge and Glendeer B&B Lodge are some accommodations in Timaru.

Tired of plane food? Longing for a little privacy? Then you'd be bonkers not to see if you can snag a room at the Commodore Airport Hotel or the Sudima Christchurch Airport. They're both close to Christchurch International Airport, 55 kilometres from the centre of Rakaia.
