Airport Gateway Christchurch

10/10 Excellent
"A very nice hotel located about a seven minute drive to the airport. They offer 24 hour shuttle to the airport for free. Rooms are very large. A big sitting area with table and chairs. A fully equipped kitchen. A heat lamp in the bathroom. Toiletries are provided. There are a number of restaurants within about a five minute walk. And the Local bus stop is nearby. About a 15 minute drive into the centre of Christchurch."
