"I would like to express my appreciation for the way we were treated at the South Island Summer Camp while we were in residence. Nothing was a problem and everything was attended to promptly which made my job as Camp Director a lot easier. The meals were excellent and the dining room staff assisted with extras without hesitation. The accommodation is just great and I would recommend it to anyone as an ideal venue."
- Lyn Miles, Camp Director, Netball New Zealand Inc.

"The facilities you offer are ideal and realistic for our needs. The proximity to Christchurch Airport , with many of our attendees flying from other South Island centres, is of great relevance to our needs, but the surroundings are so quiet and peaceful you could imagine this setting being miles away from anywhere."
- H.L. Edmunds, Training Manager, Foodstuffs

"From our experience with a range of venues, your Lincoln Conference Venue is vastly superior. The total package of facilities available is an organisers dream, and reflects the professionalism, training and care of your team to ensure a successful seminar every time."
- Paul Giles, Secretary, The NZ Agricultural Co-Operative Association Inc.

"We loved the peaceful friendly atmosphere Lincoln offers. Your outstanding conference and recreation facilities enabled us to provide a wide range of activities for all our participants. I look forward to working with you and your professional staff over the coming months as we prepare for another memorable and successful experience at Lincoln ."
- Yvonne Streatfield, Telecom Directories
