And some are booked at http://www.airportpalmsmotelchch.co.nz/ as well. Mention NZNOG on the enquiry form, am pretty sure they will still have rooms.
In case it is of help to others, my notes from "nearby" motels (walking distance if you don't mind walking, some of the ones further down the list are a pretty decent hike and/or seemed to have "booked out" issues, so YMMV). I booked at the Airport Palms, and as of earlier this morning it sounded as though they still had at least one more option for the Wed/Thu nights I wanted (ie, in addition to the one I booked). The list is of a "here, let me Google that for you" nature, but I did at least glance at most of the websites, so maybe it'll help someone. Room pricing appears to be... indicative of a shortage of accommodation in the city, and the motels seem to vary from "nearly new" through "classic NZ motel" based on online pictures. Ordered roughly in the order I found them. -=- cut here -=- Airport Palms Motel 56 Roydvale St Christchurch http://www.airportpalmsmotelchch.co.nz/ 0800 200 529 Airport Delta Motel 61 Roydvale Avenue Burnside Christchurch http://www.airportdelta.co.nz/ 0800 800 825 Airport Christchurch Motel 55 Roydvale Avenue Burnside http://www.airportchristchurch.co.nz/ 0800 800 631 Airport Lodge 105 Roydvale St Christchurch http://www.airportlodge.co.nz/ Airport Gateway Motorlodge 45 Roydvale St Christchurch http://www.airportgateway.co.nz/ 0800 242 839 (Sold out on Thu 26th IIRC) Airways Motel Cnr Russley Road and Dinton St Christchurch http://www.airwaysmotel.net.nz/ Airport Birches 390 Yaldhurst Road Christchurch http://www.airportbirchesmotel.co.nz/ -=- cut here -=- Ewen
