Novotel Christchurch Airport
Dreadful - oversold our room, left us without a room at the hotel at 1am, with the backup option 15 min shuttle away. Did not let us know ahead of time, instead surprised us upon check in. Stay somewhere else nearby. Disgraceful.

Hotel Give
Great spot to stay on our first night after landing in New Zealand. Reasonable distance from the airport, easy walk to the city centre. The Give concept is carried throughout and is an admirable concept. Highly recommend.
