Jucy Snooze Christchurch

Only a 10-minute walk from the airport, this flashpackers offers Japanese-style capsule beds in place of traditional dorms. The 'pods' are cosy and private, with nice touches like USB-charge points and individual lights. There are also tiny but spotless double rooms, with surprisingly spacious en suites and flat-screen TVs. It's a 25-minute bus ride to the city centre.
