"Great little motor park camp. Excellent location by beach far enough away from Chch but still close.
A bit old school with lots of messy permanents - but otherwise a good spot.
Caravan and huts are cute; clean and good value.
I’d recommend it."

We only had 1 night there. I wish it had been longer. Peter picked us up from dropping our car off near the airport. He made sure everything was just right. I had a hot cup of chamomile tea in a fancy tea cup that night to get relaxed for an early evening. He also recommended how to best get to the train station in the morning.

Nice and peaceful location. Mostly heard birds chirping as the main sound. Clean and has shampoo, conditioner and soap in the shower. The stand alone bathroom had no hand soap, which was a bit odd. Has two different laundry and dryer locations on the property that are coin operated, you need to bring your own laundry soap which we had to go to the grocery store to purchase.
Sleeps up to 8 people. Each bed had a heated blanket if needed (not sure about the fold out couch because we didn't use...

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Christchurch. The apartment was very modern, spotlessly clean, and had a truly spectacular view. Everything was thoughtfully designed and impeccably maintained, making it both comfortable and relaxing. After traveling around New Zealand for a full month and staying in several places, this was by far the best accommodation we rented on our entire trip. It exceeded our expectations in every way and made our time in Christchurch even more memorable.

Comfortable updated room at an older motel. The owner is friendly and helpful. Wifi, heat and the kitchen appliances all worked very well. Recommended.

If you're looking for something near the airport and off the beaten path, this is it. A guest area in the complex was very comfortable and the breakfast snacks were plentiful. Hosts couldn't have been nicer. Even helped me find the Southern Cross.

Service was very friendly and helpful. The upgrade was appreciated and the fact that I could checkin earlier after a long flight. Location is great close to a bakery in what seems like a good neighborhood. Bed was comfortable , heater in the bathroom was great Z soap, conditioner and shampoo provided. Maybe the only thing I would change is not charge extra for laundry as it’s off putting.

Great location and perfect motel for what we needed - comfortable bed for the night and clean. Super lovely hosts who made sure everything was as we needed.

The room was spacious and warm! Warm is a good thing here since it was July and most other places we stayed at were freezing, so we really appreciated that. We really liked everything about the room, and the coffee/dining table was really practical. The owner/manager was really nice too.

We were given a free upgrade without us even realizing, the kitchenette is stocked with nice cookware and ample dishes and the bedwas extremely comfortable.

Rooms are quiet and comfy and have a full kitchenette.
Some also have spa tubs. Highly recommend the Airport Palms.

The hosts were wonderful and very helpful. It was nice to have kitchen facilities to cook a meal when I did not feel like going out for dinner. Pak'nSave grocery across the street to easily get what I needed. I will definitely stay there again on a return trip.

Signage for property parking for the hotel was missing, for which required me to search at busy airport parking . When this was reported , staff merely remarked it was the responsibility of the airport
