Park in Christchurch

“Top notch delicious food, fast service and lovely restaurant, Rangiora's best kept secret!”

“Fantastic island to explore. Great walking tracks. Amenities were surprisingly good. Great place for kids especially the boat ride thrown in.”

“Can spend a lot of time with kids here. Nice walking path with trees, ponds and bridges to cross. You can fish with the lake being stocked with fish ( just check there is not any current restrictions due to chemical spraying) There's two playgrounds and hire boats on a boating lake. Lots of ducks and even spotted an eel to feed”

“Great place for a swim or a picnic with the family. Safe to swim.”

“Great facilities, awesome squash courts the best in Christchurch.”

“Great moderate loop track for kids and dogs on lead. A few stairs and uphill/downhill climbs, but nothing too strenuous. Plenty of parking and shaded areas for a picnic at the start/end. Be aware of bees and wasps in late summer. Took us about an hour with stops looking at scenery and playing in the water.”

“Great running/walking track which connects Lake Rua through to the Groynes. Reasonably well maintained and a couple of off shoots.”

“Beautiful place especially on a calm warm summers night. Love it”

“Nice track and beautiful waterfall. Watch out for mozzies and sandflies in summer. Be sure to go with people as you’ll want someone to open and close the gates for you as you pass through the farms. I’d recommend taking a 4wd to cross the rivers along the way.”

“Kids friendly and very good place for trail running or walking.”

“We did the 1 hour loop track in anti-clockwise direction. Its all beautiful, but the wasp populations are crazy in summer, so better be prepared with anti-histamine creams / sandfly repellants forehand. The ascend after the first stream is very steep and might be tough for beginners. There was mud almost everywhere, about 40% of the track. The waterfall here is not accessible, you can only see it from a top bridge.”

“Very nice shop! Cheap price! There is a large lolly section which I love the most.”

“Awesome motel to stay in, very spacious rooms, comfy big beds, great pressure in the shower. Right across the road from Hagley Park which was fabulous. Very good value for money and would happily stay again.”

“Cheap hotel with a great location next to Hagley park. Easy check in and out with a friendly staff. Bathroom looked recently renovated. Bed was comfy and clean. Near to nice restaurants (recommend Thai orchid) and a 24 hour convenience store.”

“I stay there regularly due to work. I find there is no noise from nearby railway line. I've had no issues with anyone there, either staff or residents , have found them all to be very friendly. Enjoy my stay.”

“Special but in wrong place on the map. It is actually across the river”

“Nice view from the top, can be a bit muddy”

“A beautiful walk with a stunning waterfall. Challenging in parts & a long hike. Very, very muddy with a lot of fallen trees. Mostly well maintained but could do with a bitbof a tidy up some more board walks over the very muddy parts. Very successful for doggo owners & people ready for a good adventure.”

“Great lawn bowling club the BEST afternoon teas”

“Love this shop, all the gorgeous knit wear, possum merino . My favourite”

“Fantastic walking tracks and best of all your dog can come too Alfie loved it.”

“Excellent service from the whole team: prompt response with honest and reliable product specifications.”

“One of the best Christchurch places. Free. Great for little kids”

“Les has a wealth of knowledge, and had even more patience for me with my pesty questions. He took on my problem, analysed the scenario and came up with a solution which performed better than I could have imagined. A+++ would always recommend”

“beautiful, but doesn’t seem like great skiing (:”

“We had the best day with Pony Parties! Thank you, Jess and your team for one amazing day. We had so many wee ones who absolutely loved sharing their experience with pony riding and farm friends! It was so smoothly run. You have made our little girls birthday dream came you!”

“There is not much there. A good place for the children to kick a ball around. We went there as there is a geocache there.”
