Nice room good block outs and sheets and towels 👍 very short walk to the airport
This is definitely a great hotel to stay at! It’s very quiet—you wouldn’t even realize it’s close to the airport. Super convenient, everything is lovely, and the breakfast is also great.

The experience here was excellent. My flight was extremely tragic and lots of issue and the staff were sympathetic and willing to help out so much. Check in and out process was seamless. The room was clean
Room layout was great. Loved that kids up to 16 could share in existing bedding. Proximity to airport is fantastic. Self check in and check out is great. We also loved the restaurant and offering of gluten free food
Really nice room! We had a king bed which was incredibly comfortable. Reasonably priced with the room and food. Walking distance to the airport which was very convenient.
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.
