We arrived later than hoped at 2am in the morning after our flight was delayed; the drive was only 10mins from the Christchurch airport and the overnight reception staff member was standing and awaiting our arrival, completed our checkin promptly, drove ahead of us to direct us to our apartment block then assisted us to carry our luggage into our apartment to settle in quickly- thankyou, very welcoming and helpful. While we did anticipate a king bed, not a queen bed we were otherwise very comfortable and undisturbed. Next morning the view over the lake and grounds were stunning, with snowclad mountains as a backdrop. A lovely breakfast with decent coffee was followed by a walk around the beautriful grounds- definitely explore the trout living in the brook cross by the driveway bridge and walk the Groynes track. Highly recommend.
