Fast and well run hotel shuttle. The hotel complex is a bit spread out, but one of the staff walked me to my room the first time (which helped a lot). Very nice room - spacious with nice amenities. It was quite overnight. I will keep this place on my CHC airport list.

Definitely the nicest, cleanest, most comfortable hotel we stayed in during our trip to New Zealand South Island during the off season Winter months (June). Getting to eat venison in the Patterson's restaurant was a delicious treat, and the upgrade to the King business suite was amazing with the comfortable beds and pillows, warm fireplace and cozy couch and large bathroom with 2 sinks and the full tub , with plates, silverware, cups, and tea supplies. Staff was very professional, polite, and prompt service was appreciated. We will definitely stay here again!

Booked the Commodore for a quick overnight and it was perfect. I arrived after midnight and was warmly greeted. The front desk even insisted on a porter for the bags as I was on the 2nd floor and there were stairs. I caught an early shuttle to the airport and it was ready on time. You can tell they care here and put effort into good service.
