Our flight was early in the morning. Stayed at this holiday park near airport was a good choice to make sure we don’t miss our flight.

The price is reasonable. The room is a bit small, but it is spacious enough for four people. The campsite features plenty of recreational facilities.

Conveniently located near Christchurch Airport, this holiday park is a practical choice for travelers in transit or families wanting easy access to the city. The cabins and motel units are clean and functional, while powered sites and camping areas provide flexibility for road-trippers. Facilities include a swimming pool, playground, and BBQ areas, making it family-friendly. Some units are basic and could use updating, but overall it’s a comfortable, affordable stay with good amenities and a welcoming atmosphere.

Amazing amenities. Budget friendly and very close to the airport. The lady at the reception is very helpful too.
Our stay at North South Holiday Park was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always happy to help, making us feel comfortable the moment we arrived. The accommodation was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The shared facilities, including the kitchen and bathrooms, were kept spotless, which we really appreciated. The location is also excellent, being conveniently close to Christchurch Airport while still offering a peaceful environment away from the city's hustle and bustle. We had a great night's sleep thanks to the quiet surroundings, and the overall atmosphere of the park was friendly and relaxing. Whether you're staying for one night before a flight or using it as a base to explore Christchurch, I would highly recommend North South Holiday Park. Thank you to the entire team for your wonderful hospitality—we would definitely stay here again on our next visit to New Zealand.
I stayed in North south holiday park on the day of arrival and the night pre departure from Christchurch. It is located about 5 mins drive or 45 mins walk from CHC international airport. You can book their airport shuttle ($5 per pax) during operational hours or the front desk can order a taxi for you at a cheaper price. Amenities are complete and cleanliness is well maintained. The only set back is there is no eateries within short walking distance except burgerking, but not a problem if you come with a car or you can cook at their kitchen(with utensils provided)

We needed to be close to the rental companies and this place kind of was. Very basic but clean. Very small room and bunk beds. Did the job for us.
It looks close to the airport, but even taking the number 8 bus still requires about a 30-minute walk, especially since there are so many cars on the main roads, it's quite inconvenient and gives you goosebumps.
Advantages: It's close to the car rental company, but once you get there, you'll realize how terrible the route is. It's very unsafe, requiring you to cross many roads without traffic lights. New Zealand drivers are noticeably less courteous than Australian drivers, so be extremely careful.
As for the environment and hygiene, I won't go into details. In the overnight hotel, you have to run outside to use the restroom. But considering the price, you'll have to put up with it.
