“The resident cat, The Boss, made the place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

I'm glad for our last night in NZ, after sleeping in a camper van for a week, we paid the extra money to stay here. It was a beautiful hotel and we had a great stay. While we were checking in, we learned that the cat one of the front desk ladies was petting was actually a member of the hotel staff for the past 12 years or more. I think his name was The Boss. If you go to the pool area and look at this cool photo collage image thing, you will see him included in there, if you don't happen to see him in person during your stay.

The room was clean, beds were very comfy, front desk was very helpful. Our flight was super early the next morning and with their free shuttle and close vicinity to the airport, we made our flight with lots of time to spare.

We had dinner at their restaurant and our experience there was also great. Local fish and fresh veggies, we had a fun time.

“Comfortable, convenient to airport and good value.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We have stayed here on a few occasions now and have had standard and business level rooms/suite. Each time we have found our beds very comfortable, the room or suite clean and well maintained considering the earthquakes Christchurch has experienced in recent times. We stayed two nights recently in the Sunset Suite and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room service was fast and friendly with meals arriving hot, and housekeeping staff were friendly though some reception staff seemed a little stressed at times. The restaurant food was great and added to our enjoyable stay. We will continue to come back.

Room Tip: Stay in the business level rooms as they are more modernly furnished and nicer facilities.
