Bealey Quarter
This private room in the Lodge building was like a college dorm with communal facilities. The bathrooms were group sinks, toilets, showers and the kitchen had multiple stoves, sinks and tables. All clean & neat, but not much privacy, if that matters to you.

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.
