Not a bad place but it was noisy with the busy road and a long way from any dining options. On the plus side, very convenient to the airport and nice not to have to mess with traffic in the morning before we headed out of town. Beds were comfortable and they provided milk for our morning coffee which was thoughtful.

I booked this place online while driving down to Christchurch, arrived after 9pm so didn’t see a human. After hours check in seemless. The room was immaculate, super clean and modern! The bed was the most comfortable I’ve had travelling over the last couple of weeks. I particularly liked the colour scheme and decor, but thats a personal thing. Woke early and self checked out without any interaction with himan again. Excellent service and stay!

A quick phone call and we were rapidly collected from the airport and driven to the hotel where check-in was quick and easy. After chat about our plans we were helped to collect the campervan from the local dealer. A comfortable room and clean spacious bathroom. Overall a very successful stay, would recommend.
