We were on a very late flight into Christchurch and it was the most convenient place for us to stay before picking up our hire car the next day. The shuttle bus service was great and the staff very helpful. They also had a nice cafe on the premises where we had breakfast before being taken back to the airport. We would definitely stay here again.
