Super convenient. We were coming in from Washington DC. Exhausted. So nice to have such a lovely hotel at your doorstep. Great staff. Quiet, clean, delicious breakfast, nice gym. Novotel is a great springboard into the South Island. Hope to come back one day.

This is the first time we have ever stayed at an airport hotel and was a little worried after a very early morning arrival that the kids would get woken up by flights taking off etc, but nothing! The beds were amazingly comfortable, we all slept in as rooms were well sound proofed, breakfast with a beautiful view was amazing. Great way to start our holiday. Can’t wait to come back

Polite, helpful staff. Very clean room, with all the amenities one needs. Comfortable bed/mattress, but large pillows gave me a sore neck. Why do you not supply an option of a softer, flatter one?
