Stayed here for one night after a afternoon flight from Queenstown as we need to catch up flight back to Singapore next morning. Walking distance to the terminal and no air traffic nose in the night at all. Breakfast was pretty good.

Ideal if you need to stay overnight in Christchurch between flights -- more convenient than going to Christchurch town

A re-routed cruise ship (because of a tropical cyclone) meant a very fast decision to disembark in a different city here in New Zealand. Christchurch actually works better for me than Auckland, but I still had to make quick q decision about where to stay for the night. No debate whatsoever - I made the absolute right choice. A wonderful hotel, on the airport - brilliant accommodation, great food and convenience (a very short walk to CHC's domestic departures). The room had absoutely everything I needed and is very cleverly designed. Room service dinner? brilliant. Just a very few niggles: (1) The great flat screen TV is mounted immediately above the desk, so for those of us who keep the TV on whilst working, a little of bit of vision re-focusing needed. But seriously - it is much too close. (2) the shower water could have been much hotter, but it was ok. (3) the rain water shower head was parked far too high for me, so I couldn't reach it to use it. And (4) - a huge plea to the hotel industry as a whole - please provide shower/bath mats where the shower floors are slippery - especially for older/less stable guests.

The view over airport and runway was great and obviously sound proofed windows.
Again the king bed was exceptionally comfortable and hotel very modern and clean.
Just a point if heading into town to say riverside eatery which is fantastic.
Taxi in to town charged us 50 dollars.
Taxi back from same point 38 dollars.
The one into town was what looked like independent operator from the airport taxi rank. So pick a mainstream taxi company.
