A quick phone call and we were rapidly collected from the airport and driven to the hotel where check-in was quick and easy. After chat about our plans we were helped to collect the campervan from the local dealer. A comfortable room and clean spacious bathroom. Overall a very successful stay, would recommend.

We had only a one night stay after our flight. The room was very clean and comfortable with plenty of amenities. The manager was kind and went above and beyond to be helpful. The bed was comfortable and there was everything we could have needed included. The outside property was very tidy as well. We will stay there again, and recommend Airport Palms in CHC.

This is an excellent hotel to use by the airport. Time from hotel room to Rental Car Park was 5 minutes! The unit had a separate living room and kitchenette. The staff was very helpful. It was also great to be able to park right outside our room since we had to pack up everything from the car after five weeks on South Island.

This unassuming motel was very well kept by a conscientious owner/manager. The airport pickup was prompt. Our unit was modern, well decorated, immaculate, with a nice kitchenette and a bedroom with a door. Way exceeded my expectation for an airport motel. There was even an onsite laundry room, which the manager kept open for longer just for me. Very accommodating. I highly recommend this motel.
