Park in Christchurch

“Peppers Clearwater really blew us away. We booked a Lakeview Suite through an Accor Plus More Escapes deal that came with breakfast, a three-course dinner, and a cheese platter with a bottle of wine – such great value. The suite itself was gorgeous, the perfect spot to unwind and recharge. Sitting out on the deck watching the ducks and swans glide by, with the sun setting over the lake, was just magic. The staff made the stay even better – both the bar and restaurant teams went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. Dinner was a real highlight: duck salad and grilled scallops to start, then fish and lamb for mains, and tiramisu plus panna cotta for dessert. Every dish was spot on. Breakfast the next morning was à la carte with excellent barista-made soy lattes, and I have to say, the eggs benedict was the best I’ve ever had. We were lucky with the spring weather too, and enjoyed our cheese platter and wine out on the deck in the sunshine – pure bliss. The little touches also made a difference, like being able to do a load of washing and plug in our rented Tesla overnight in the garage. We honestly couldn’t recommend Clearwater more. Huge thanks to all the staff for making us feel so welcome and completely spoiled.”

“The best market ever, had foods from all over the world. Tasty and not overpriced”

“Went here for a friends birthday dinner and it exceeded expectations! Fabulous service from Georgia and Molly, and even better food! Drinks were lovely and will definitely be coming back!”

“Loved my tikka ang garlic naan. Medium was perfect and it was fresh and flavourful thank you”

“Speights went out of their way to make a triple birthday dinner super special for my sons. They allowed us to go in earlier and set up decorations and put the 3 cakes in the chiller. They supplied little plates and napkins for them to be served on after dinner Although there was close to 30 people eating the waitress had it all under control and the meals came to the table quickly and all the meals were delicious, with generous sizes.”

“Just had a wonderful experience here. A few weeks ago, I bought some shoes and a pair was ordered and delivered to me. Unfortunately it was the wrong style and I was too busy to make it in for a few weeks. After bringing the wrong style in, the manager was lovely enough to find the correct pair and order them to be delivered for me again. The staff member who helped me the first time even remembered me from almost a month ago! Absolutely lovely staff, very thorough and understanding. Can't recommend them enough.”

“I just wanted to say how lovely the team at Hornby Woolworths are. Every time I visit, I’m greeted with warm smiles and genuine friendliness that truly makes the shopping experience a pleasure. The staff are always helpful, polite, and go out of their way to assist, whether it’s finding a product, offering a cheerful chat, or simply making checkout smooth and easy. It’s clear they take pride in their work and care about their customers. It really makes a difference. Thanks for being such a welcoming and positive part of the community!”

“A quick visit to this reasonably brand new supermarket. Lights have been added on the corner of the main road to allow ease of access by cars, etc.. Busy place, and there's a pharmacy. Car parking is tight, so take care.”

“CAFE KUDOS - 235 Annex Rd. Just had an amazing meal at Kudos. It was delicious & generous serving. I couldnt eat it all. Amazing latte too. We used first table but worth the full price. Pleasant place witb a nice outdoor sitting area.”

“I just wanted a bottle of wine.”

“Jimmy and Jane are THE BEST. They have everything, if they dont they will walk over HOT COALS NAKED to get it. Best prices too, highly recommend”

“Phoned today to ask if a product was in stock. The woman i spoke to went out of her way to find it for me and offered to leave it at customer services so I didnt have to go looking for it. I was very impressed.”

“Visited a few PAK'nSAVE stores around the country. Super impressed. Layout is similar. A much larger store. A huge variety. Easy to find. Situated in the mall, which makes access to other stores very easy. Lots of parking across multiple levels. Fresh produce was perfect.”

“Located closer to City Center, this Indian grocery store in one of the biggest I have seen so far in Christchurch. The store has all the grocery essential one needs. Along with utensils and veggies. Plenty of Parking spaces and off street parking. Must visit for all the Indian or any Asian looks for species”

“Had a great shopping experience today, thanks to Yaw and Joel who were very helpful at checkout and packed my groceries with care. They were friendly and professional.”

“Little India Merivale has been our go-to restaurant for many years, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, full of flavour, and beautifully prepared. The service is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel like a valued regular rather than just another customer. It’s a place we keep coming back to and happily recommend to friends and family. another customer. It’s a place we keep coming back to and happily recommend to friends and family.”

“High quality very nice. Good service, clean area, kind staff, excellent food, fast serving times. Definitely recommend this place to eat at. We had a completely vegan dinner and it was beyond good — great noodles, and HIGHLY recommend getting the green curry.”

“I’ve been going to Stan’s Pharmacy now for around 7-8 years. Always so grateful for their opening hours, the care and attention staff alway show. The amount of useful information they share about your prescription and any interactions to be mindful of etc. Stan’s Pharmacy is the best in town and so grateful for their advice and care. Thanks to all the staff you are all truly an important part of our community. Cheers”

“Delicious and really fresh food, quick option for a takeaway and reasonably cheap. In my opinion just need some update on the dining in area as have the option for that in the restaurant itself aside of that a good option of Thai takeaway at Papanui road.”

“healthy and yummy food with decent price, 4 days in town every day came for lunch or dinner, especially kids love it.”

“Best Fish & Chip shop in city. Heaps of Chinese options, along with the standard Fish n Chips. Phone your order in, and will be ready on arrival. Best value portions I've ever found anywhere - always heaps of food, and always sooooo tasty and fresh. It's a takeaway shop, and pretty basic decor etc, but don't let that put you off. We go at least once a month, and wouldn't go anywhere else. 2 Fish, 1 scoop chips costs around $13/$14 - don't order extra chips as you wont get through them there's so much provided in a scoop.”

“It was a hidden gem to me! This one lace serves delicious foods and desserts! The staffs are friendly and understanding. The food was served pretty quick compared to other Chinese restaurants. The place is very crowded most of the time because of the food quality and vibe. Convenient location, heaps of parking at church corner. Highly recommended and we surely will visit again.”

“Ok supermarket, which is well presented. Plenty of car parking and centrally located in Rangiora. Countdown has a good variety of products. Reasonably priced with most of products that you will need. Good customer service at the check outs and reasonably easy to find assistance if you need help. This supermarket is an ok place to get what you need. Nothing brilliant stands out about this Countdown apart from it's a quite new building, so it is has a very good layout inside and outside.”

“This particular store is quite unique in that they a sell unusual items which you don't find in your typical Chch supermarket. If you're struggling to find something you may just find it in this supermarket.”

“Very friendly service from the little bubbly Asian lady, that made our day better after the disappointment of 15% surcharges for public holdays and thinking we wouldn't get a coffee and breakfast. No surcharge, thats a bonus, the coffee was good as was the food.”

“I went to have a chat up with my friends today, and this coffee club does make it a fantastic experience! The club sandwich is huge and delicious. Their iced chocolate is also a stand-out with plenty of toppings. The place is spacious and super clean. And the staff are always so friendly. Couldn't ask for more, five stars!”

“My first time shopping here and there is absolutely nothing to complain about. I like the website with good descriptions and specs too. I was quite excited to get such good items at the great prices.”

“Friendly staff and best shop to buy booze”
