Children's entertainment in Christchurch

“Great small suburban Park with gas BBQ on site. Small half basketball court and a small play area for young kids. Enough room to kick a ball or fly a kite.”

“Manuka Cottage is there! A Communtiy Centre where affordable activities bring people together. A safe space to develop social relationships, participate in any number of activities, or simply sit and enjoy a hot drink, read the newspaper...... go and check it out!”

“Wouldnt ride anywhere else, absolute quality instruction with fantastic well cared for horses. They even offer riders the opportunity to compete on their horses which is awesome. You not only learn how to ride, you learn everything from horse mastership, grooming , how to lunge correctly etc.”

Links Functions and Events keeps things coffee‑and‑cabinet and focused on flavour. Morning service moves at a steady clip. The team keeps things friendly and organised. A coastal backdrop rounds out the stop.

“What a great shop! I was very pleased with the quality and price of the items I bought for my grandson and their customer service is excellent. I have already recommended them to my friends and family.”

“Waka Huia is the most wonderful place, very child-centred and in a calm/ relaxed/ family environment. Different aged kids all play together, the big kids look out for the little ones, lots of tuakana-teina opportunities. The kaiako are awesome educators, highly experienced and genuinely loving and kind. My daughter has grown a lot under their gentle guidance. She loves the animals (chickens and visiting lambs), outside play year round, cups of tea, dress-ups and treasures (shells, wool) to play with.”

“The staff played a crucial role in my son's transition from his previous Best Start program. Their friendly and welcoming demeanor made the process easy and helped him make new friends. The activities and programs for the kids are well-prepared and provide a lot of useful information for parents. The photos of the activities show that my son has a great time at preschool, and I feel confident and safe leaving him there.”

“From reception to check-out, this hotel delivered a great experience. The room was clean and comfortable, with a slightly unusual layout (external sink) but a fantastic view and a very comfortable bed. Casting was also built into the TV and seamless. Both dinner and breakfast at the restaurant were excellent—great food and attentive service. The staff’s hospitality stood out throughout the stay, making it feel warm and personal. The location is ideal, right in Cathedral Square and close to the bus interchange, making it easy to explore the city. A 4-star hotel with a 5-star experience—highly recommended for anyone visiting Christchurch.”
