We're staying in Christchurch for two days and it was important that the hotel is central.
We used a combination of points and cash for this hotel.
Apx. a week into our trip, we'd be staying in the southern most point of the south island, so a lovely hotel was booked there as well.
And then there's the lovely lake of Te Anau, where we'd be spending two nights, making star trips in the region.
