Novotel Christchurch Airport
This is definitely a great hotel to stay at! It’s very quiet—you wouldn’t even realize it’s close to the airport. Super convenient, everything is lovely, and the breakfast is also great.

Rydges Latimer Christchurch
The front desk staff is so helpful and accommodating. We arrived after a long trip in the morning and were able to check in early. The bottle of wine was a great benefit! Breakfast is fantastic, with a wide variety of foods to try. I would definitely stay again.
