Bealey Quarter
Everything is good except the availability of parking at the Studios. Hopefully there will be a designated parking per room, and laundry bag.

BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch
There's no shuttle service no parking and you have to pay extra for everything. I will never book this hotel again!

Novotel Christchurch Airport
This place is great. Our beds were very comfortable. The chairs and sofa were cute but pretty firm and not comfortable. The staff were awesome and the restaurant on the top floor was very good.

Everything about this accomodation is the best, great facilities, great staff and there's always tons of free food items so you don't have to worry about salt or cooking oils, or coffee even. Big thanks to a staff member, the tall gentleman wearing the cap, outstanding service and a warm welcoming ...
