See & Do – Discover Christchurch from your centrally located hotel
Modern, creative, urban and thriving: the flourishing city of Christchurch is known for its art galleries, beautiful gardens – including the nearby Hagley Park – cool street art and stylish cafés, all set against a majestic alpine and ocean backdrop. Stay in the heart of the city and hop on one of the beautifully restored trams to enjoy a 17-stop loop, departing every 15 minutes, taking in a host of city highlights including Cathedral Square and New Regent St.
Adventure lovers can take a short drive out of the city to ski at a world-class alpine resort, play golf, bungee jump, raft, mountain bike, hot-air balloon, windsurf, whale watch and visit internationally acclaimed wineries.
