Accommodation in Rakaia

Accommodation is scarce in the centre of Rakaia. Make sure you plan your stay in advance, as there is only 1 place to stay within 10 kilometres.

The St. Itas Guesthouse is likely to be your only option if you are set on staying near the hustle and bustle.

The Hotel Ashburton can be found 20 kilometres away from the middle of Rakaia. Another alternative is the Taylors Motel, which is situated 25 kilometres away. Another possibility is to book a bed at the Coronation Park or the Bella Vista Motel Ashburton.

The greater Canterbury area is well worth discovering also. Canterbury has beaches, coastal plains, rivers and streams. Commonly visited Canterbury visitor destinations include the old towns and churches. Or join the locals in the snowboarding, skiing and cross-country skiing while you're here.

Don't blow through before you have checked out the Ashburton Domain, Trott's Garden and Historic Art Gallery and Museum in Ashburton. The Tinwald Motels and Ashburton's Regency Motel are a few of the accommodation options in Ashburton. Or, you could stay in Christchurch, 60 kilometres to the northeast of Rakaia, where you'll find the Amore Motor Lodge and Athena Motel & Apartments. If you're staying in Christchurch, set aside some time to check out the Mona Vale, University of Canterbury and Christchurch Casino.

Just because you're travelling, doesn't mean you can't enjoy your passion for sport. You'll find Horncastle Arena 55 kilometres to the northeast of Rakaia. Book a hotel close to the action at the Belle Bonne Motel or the M&Y Guest House (Christchurch Airport).

Christchurch International Airport is the nearest preferred airport for flying in and out of Rakaia and is 55 kilometres from the CBD. If you would like to stay nearby, try the Sudima Hotel Christchurch Airport or the Commodore Airport Hotel.
