Michelle has more than one unit in the old government building and we stayed in number one. Whilst you cannot see the Cathedral from the property, you have the far more interesting teams departing the terminal. They do not start until 9am, so are not a disturbance. There is an excellent gym and a small swimming pool in the basement. It is possible to walk to all places of interest, so location could not be better. No air conditioning but not necessary even though close to 30 degrees whilst we were in Christchurch. The flat is cool in so many ways!!
