"Your staff are, what we as employers, hope to have. Each and everyone of them went out of their way to help with all our questions and suggested exactly what we wanted. You should feel proud and privileged to know that your staff represent you in the most efficient and professional manner I have ever encountered. I will be taking this back to my staff.
So thank you to the staff for a fantastic time and for being so nice and friendly.
Please pass on my comments to all staff.

“During our 3 week tour of Australia and NZ, I would rank Seriously the best service and accommodation experience I have had in a very long time. So impressive and a true credit to all the team at The George - thank you!"

This was the first night of our holiday to the South Island and couldn't possibly have been better - we met friends at Pescatore and enjoyed a most exquisite meal. Everything about The George was faultless - an amazing experience - loved everything - the teddy was just the icing on the cake ! Well done !

The best hotel we have stayed at in a very long time. It was comfortable, luxurious and just stunning.
The bed is the best we have slept in and even better than ours. Could you please inform us of the make/brand/model and we can see if we can locate one in Brisbane to buy. We loved it that much!
Nothing was too much to ask for from the staff, just excellent service. Being gluten free, the restaurant and room service was so adaptable for me.
I was recommended your hotel and picked it on the class and look of your website. We were so so happy with our choice. We could have stayed some else in a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment set up and cheaper but we are so pleased we stayed at The George. Will recommend it and stay again on our next trip!
Thanks so much for a great hotel, great service and making it a great stay!

Thanks

The hotel is our first choice always in Christchurch, which we visit 3-4 times a year. Overall, one of the best hotels I have ever used - just the right balance in all your facilities and services. Quiet, discreet, luxurious, scrupulously clean and the staff is flawless. Where do you find them?

" The George as my favorite hotel, that means above the Intercontinental in Melbourne and the Langham in Auckland. Overall, all of the staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and enthusiastic. They greatly contributed to the overall positive impression of the hotel. Our experience at The George encourages us to seek boutique hotels more often in our travels."

The George is a GREAT hotel. The staff, decor, location and the gift Teddy Bear. Everyone at the hotel from the concierge to the cleaning staff seemed to enjoy what they do. Your hotel was the first hotel that I took a picture of my room and I've done a lot of traveling. I cannot say enough good things - everything from free internet (which I later found out in other hotels in NZ charge) to fixing me a take-away breakfast for my early departure the following morning. The concierge gave me a map, directions and told me places in town to visit during my short stay. I ate dinner in your restaurant and the meal (scallops) was amazing. So was the local Pinot Noir.

Excellent hotel. I travel all over the world and stay in many different hotels, but The George is special. Very welcoming, very friendly. I highly recommend it. The thing that makes it special? The staff, they are excellent and diligent to a tee. Well done, keep up the good work. I plan to return on my next trip to New Zealand, sadly it will not be for at least two years.
Thank you

They even gave us breakfast daily and arranged for a beautiful surprise for our wedding anniversary. The rooms were immaculate and boy I loved the bathrooms. Thank you for an exceptional welcome and enjoyable stay at your hotel and you have a GREAT team onboard, keep up the fantastic service and we're definitely coming back!"

We were delighted to stay at The George as we'd had a fantastic recommendation from a friend. It was the first night of our honeymoon before we went off to travel NZ and we couldn't have been made to feel more welcome or special. It was important for us to feel a sense of luxury and comfort and for our hotel to be close to the main town; The George ticked all these boxes and many more. Due to jet lag, we didn't eat an evening meal at the hotel but we indulged in breakfast, going for the full option and it was delicious. We came back rating it our best breakfast of the trip.
Overall it was a great experience and I've have no hesitation to recommend it (in fact I'd encourage them to visit) to anyone travelling to NZ.
