I'd highly recommend staying at this hostel. It's the best hostel I've ever stayed at, and I've been to many around the world. It's a home away from home and you're not just treated like a number.

Hi r0semaree,
Thank you for your message :-)
That is not a problem at all! Our reception closes at 5:00pm, if we don't see you before then we leave out a late-arrival envelope at reception with your room key and WiFi so you can check yourself in after-hours.
Once you've made a booking we will send your the door code in a confirmation email which you can use to enter the building.
The cheapest way to reach us at 1:00am would by by booking a shuttle, from the airport to Dorset House is $25.00 for one person (+$6 for any extra passengers). If you would like to secure a booking please send us an email with your flight number and expected flight arrival time and we will happily arrange this for you! :-)
You can contact us any time between 9am-5pm via phone or email if you have any further queries.

Hi Juaymah,
Absolutely! please take note of the 4-digit security code sent in your confirmation email to enter the building after hours where we will have a late-arrival envelope arranged for you with your room key and instructions to connect to our free unlimited WiFi.
Have you sorted your transport options to get from the airport to Dorset House? we recommend booking a shuttle as they are much cheaper than a taxi and run 24/7- unfortunately the number 29 airport bus does not run after 11:00pm.
If you would like us to arrange you a shuttle please send us an email with your flight number- we would be more than happy to book that for you to ensure your arrival runs smoothly :-)
Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can provide any further assistance- we look forward to welcoming you to Dorset House!
Warm Regards,
Lori

We reached Christchurch at 1 am and we were still able to check-in without any problems whatsoever. Write an email to them with your flight details and they leave your room keys in an envelope. We took a Super Shuttle right outside the airport. I guess the hostel arranges a pickup as well. Have a good trip to NZ!
