Sudima Christchurch Airport
Everything and everyone met our expectations. We settled here for our first night. It was very near Christchurch Airport and very convenient to walk to the grocery store or to grab a bite to eat. The best part was that it is literally right next door to the Antarctic attraction we wanted to see.
