"Check in was very efficient and we received a complimentary upgrade with this being our third stay at the Airport Gateway. The studio unit was spacious with good amenities and an excellent shower. Complimentary airport shuttle booked is a real bonus even at 4am so thank you. We will definitely always choose to stay here when leaving from Christchurch airport."

10/10 Excellent
"We would definitely stay at Pinewood again. Our only issue was that we didn't have anywhere to hang our wedding attire. Luckily I had my own hangers so I hung them on the bunk bars. However my other companions didn't. Loved the shower and the beds were so comfortable and warm. The staff were so helpful and happy. Cool place."
