A 4-star smoke-free hotel at 30 Durey Road, close to Christchurch Airport, with a private art gallery. It is listed as a beach, but its website describes a hotel. The rooms have a mezzanine, a living room area, blackout drapes, sound-proof windows, coffee and tea making, and walk-in showers. There is a fitness suite and a lounge bar, and the Gourmet restaurant serves à la carte dishes. Business travellers can use the conference space.
Visitors say the beds are comfortable, the check-in is easy, and the rooms are clean and modern. Several say it is ideal for an early flight, and that the breakfast buffet has a view over the runway.
