BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch
Great location, very central to everything in the city including the new stadium. Breakfast was great! The rooms are not big but they are well designed and for two of us they were just fine. We'd definitely stay again.

Novotel Christchurch Airport
We arrived very late after significant flighy delays. The man chevking us in gave us a midday checkout which was much appreciated. Unfortunately he must have not updated the system as we were woken by staff knocking on the door, then a phone call, then our access card disabled.

Everything about this accomodation is the best, great facilities, great staff and there's always tons of free food items so you don't have to worry about salt or cooking oils, or coffee even. Big thanks to a staff member, the tall gentleman wearing the cap, outstanding service and a warm welcoming ...
