hotel near Christchurch airport.

For an airport hotel it was surprising. The rooms were large with kitchenett and large bathroom with a great shower. Lots of space and exceptionally clean, bed very large and comfortable. Restaurant was excellent and food not only very tasty but also not badly priced. They had a free shuttle bus to the airport which was just 10 minutes away, running all hours. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Note: the TV volume was stuck on low to accommodate other guests and not be too loud - a nice touch.
