Stroll through the Botanic Gardens then hop on a historic tram to explore the rebuilt city centre. Punting on the Avon River offers peaceful views while day trips to nearby Banks Peninsula reveal hidden bays and walking trails.
With an airport hotel there is an expectation that they will be functional but have no character this hotel is an exception. We were very pleasantly surprised to find how good this hotel was. The rooms were nice and spacious with some nice little touches. The restaurant and bar area were nice and lively, might have had something to do with it being St Patrick's day as they had a live singer/guitar player. We had lunch and dinner there which was excellent, although the continental breakfast did...

Great one bed apartment with plenty of room and excellent facilities. Staff were super helpful. Walk into the centre was around 25 mins. Supermarket nearby as well as a few restaurants & cafes.

We only booked this hotel for one night as the house we'd booked for our son's wedding was unavailable that night and we now wish that we'd stayed there for all of our stay.

A VERY helpful owner, nothing was too much trouble. It is a superb immaculately clean and comfortable motel with lovely unexpected touches and a superb shower. A car is not needed to stay here, (although there is good parking), it is within easy walking distance of the railway station, good bus connections ( including purple line bus direct to the airport ), supermarket and shopping mall. Highly recommended after a three night stay in February 2020.

Hotel right at the airport - very convenient for early morning flights. Nice modern hotel. Just what you expect from a Novotel. Staff were really helpful.

We arrived at the hotel at about 10:15 to drop off our cases but we were able to check-in and were given our room keys - we had an amazing Junior Suite which was spotlessly clean, good selection of toiletries and tea/coffee - breakfast the next morning (payable as not included) was a very good selection of continental breakfast and full hot breakfast

We had left something in our room and were contacted very quickly so we had time to retrieve it before going to the airport which was excellent service.
Very convenient position.
Liked the iron and ironing board in the room.

Return visit after 35 years ! It has gone a bit more upmarket but overall had not changed much . Still very comfortable, clean and convenient for everything beautiful Christchurch has to offer. Loved George the bear who went on to travel all over New Zealand for 3 month with us . Hope to be back before the next 35 years !
