The area is popular for hiking and cycling, and car hire is available at this 4-star hotel. The location was close to the Christchurch International Terminal, ideal as our flight arrived after midnight. We received both room and breakfast upgrades, which were greatly appreciated. Thank you. Offers of help from the reception staff during our 01h00 check-in were welcomed. Breakfast was excellent. Thanks for the service and non-dairy omelette.
