Probably the best Air New Zealand lounge in the country. If you love view or the apron you’ll adore this lounge. Heaps of space and different areas to sit, food is great and plentiful, and it’s just generally much more light and airy than any of other the lounges.
Is it just me or does all free food taste good? Actually no - a modicum of good. But when you’re hungry, free food definitely hits the spot. That’s all the food did. Hit the spot. In a fairly average way. The cheese could have been of a higher grade and the little wee wraps were too dry. Soup is nice though. And free wine is very good. We love free wine. But what’s really incredible about the Christchurch Domestic Departure Lounge… is the acoustics!!! A HIGHLY underrated art form. Unreal in this lounge. Noise/cutlery clatter/chatter - all muffled and then brought together in the room to form a gentle hum. Very peaceful. Very impressed. More spaces with focus on acoustics plz. the view at sunset was nice too.
Nice, clean and relaxing lounge with sufficient space between seats to allow us some privacy. Acceptable variety of food.
This was not the domestic but Air New Zealand International lounge at Christchurch. Excellent service, great personnel, super drinks, wine and dishes and very nicely presente. Compliments to all.
5 stars for the staff and service. It’s amazing lounge comparing to regional one downstairs. Coffee is really delicious with baristas doing superb job being super busy sometimes. The food selection is poor, especially almost no options of vegetarian or vegan food. It’s time for AirNZ finally to open to alternative food selection like the rest of the world and I’m not talking about placing some rice and bananas and thinking the job is done. I fly a lot and things only get worse when it comes to food. There used to be some vegan wraps , but not anymore. If you are lucky you get some not very fresh beat root salad from day before. Last time my wife god food poisoning out of it. Also seats are small and not comfortable , entire place requires redecoration. It’s not functional. Never enough room and space to seat. Mobile phone chargers are on the 3 desks that are always occupied so good luck with that. I know it’s not a busy airport, but not the reason to provide reasonable service for frequent customers. AirNZ time to rethink and invest for comfort of your passengers.
Same food, same ginger chicken/steamed veg and soup that they served a month or two ago please vary the food more often. Showers are not lounge quality at all. only one shower? shocking. The space of the lounge is lovely though.
Good coffee. When I orderef a hot chocolate for my daughter, a very nice barista write my name on it, my daughter was so happy when she saw it. A very good open view with good selection of drinks. Food range is much smaller than Auckland Domestic lounge or international lounge
The staff are great, and the place is spotless. I wish they would change up the food offering though, a bit of variety in the sandwiches and hot food. But overall it's a great facility.
Nice and tidy as always. Staff always smiling and friendly. Always happy to help with last minute flight changes. And great coffee.
