Familiengeführtes sympathisches Hotel
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt Nahe des Flughafens Christchurch und der Shuttleservice ist im Preis inbegriffen. Ebenfalls wird man bei Bedarf zum Antarctica Centre gefahren.
Der Personal ist sehr freundlich und es herrscht eine familiäre Atmosphäre. Es gibt eine schöne Terrasse, einen Indoorpool und Saune, Fitnesscenter und einen Pickleball Court. Die Bar des Hotels ist auch sympathisch.

Cons:

Die Infrastruktur/Ausstattung ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
