Top International Antarctic Centre Hotel Reviews

Novotel Christchurch Airport

8/10 Good

"Bathroom wasn’t particularly clean in our room. Staff friendly and helpful."

Airport Christchurch Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived after 1am d/t flight delays. We were exhausted."

Airways Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly, room was clean. Grateful for our time. Looking forward to next visit."

Harewood Lodge

8/10 Good

"Overall, it was a pleasant stay. However, it needs to be clearer that the lower-priced options have a shared bathroom (the pictures of the bathroom should not be included in the room pictures). We were able to upgrade rooms, and it was much nicer. Be mindful that there isn't usually a person at reception and if you want to get in contact, you need a New Zealand based number."

Airport Palms Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay here, very clean and tidy and a great shower. Couldn’t hear any noise from the road or other guests. I would 100% recommend it and stay again myself! ☺️ Only thing that I would mark down is how light the room was (but I do like it to be pitch black when I’m sleeping!)"

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."

North South Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Self-contained 2 bedroom unit was great. Stayed for work - everything works as it is supposed to and was clean, tidy and comfortable."

Airport Birches Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and helpful staff."

LyLo Christchurch Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Love the mix of accommodation options from pods to ensuite. Awesome community/kitchen room. Easy walking distance from airport. Fun to be able to socialise with travelers from all walks of life."
