After a cancelled flight and a missed connection, we got into Christchurch around 10:30pm. The hotel had a shuttle there to pick us up in minutes and after a short ride back to the hotel, we were checked in and settled into a lovely room. Breakfast the next morning was very good and the hotel staff called a cab for us to get to the train station. Wish we had more time to check out the hotel and surrounding area, but no complaints from us!
