Parks in Christchurch

“Great location for an airport hotel and surprisingly great food great view and wonderful staff. Highly recommend this as a hotel to stay before or after your flight. Beds were very comfortable and spacious rooms with good showers. Buffet breakfast is a must with great selections and as a platinum member we were given barista coffee. Unfortunately there wasn’t an executive lounge for us but still a great hotel.”

“I really enjoy the Hoyts Lux experience. Its obvious the higher end of expense but we use as a treat every now and then. What i particularly enjoy is the personalised attention from when you are greeted at the door right through to ordering food and drinks. Its nice to feel special once in a while sitting in a recliner, drinking a cold alcoholic beverage and waiting for the sliders to arrive. Its definitely the highlight of my week.”

“One of the nicest places in the city for Sunday high tea brunch. French creperie with multiple choices of both sweet and sour French crepes, including some vegan options. There are plenty of suggested options, but you can also go wild and create your own one. Crepes are really amazing, very tasty, good size portions and amazing taste. It’s really great that there is vegan options available, made of buckwheat. If you have not enough of sugar you can finish with a great desert selection. Coffee is slightly bitter and not the best blend , but tea selection is perfect.”

“We went to The Old Leithfield Hotel for dinner on a busy Saturday night (super rugby final) with our 5 month old baby. Even though we didn't have a booking the friendly wait staff went out of their way to accommodate us and made sure we were comfortable. We both had the roast which was generous and delicious. The beef was tender and the veges perfect it was the best pub experience with a young baby, and the best roast beef. We also had the salt and pepper squid entree which was fantastic. Perfectly tender and crispy! Thank you very much to the team at The Old Leithfield Hotel.”

“Amazing team, great food delicious, and well-proportioned, sauces were on point definitely recommended to family and friends”

“Great service, food was excellent will definitely come back again.”

“Japanese ramen and love the taste, Spicy Miso Ramen is the best one if you are spicy lover. The staffs are friendly, will be my default ramen in Christchurch. :)”

“We came here based off a recommendation and will definitely be back! We ate early, so there wasn't much of an atmosphere and the service was a little relaxed - which is fine, as we weren't in a rush. The food was out of this world! The portions are huge and the flavour in everything was just amazing. Our table each had something different and everyone thought that their dish was the best. We honestly loved this place and can't wait to visit again!”

“Wonderful food and excellent service, we had the Lamb Rump with potato gratin and the Chicken and Bacon pasta. Generous portions and very tasty. Can thoroughly recommend. A visit to Zest Timaru is a must.”

“A short Gondola ride up to the top of Mnt Cavendish, a great outlook over the city and a view of some sheep in the paddocks below, but it was the view at the top that looks towards Lyttleton Harbour and the city is spectacular! Very smooth ride and not really that high off ground,(I still wouldn't want to fall out, though), but within reach of some with height fears.”

“Really cool place & the bar had a great atmosphere. The people running the venue were lovely and very helpful. It is by a main road but great value for what you get and conveniently close to the airport.”

“A great coffee shop serving all day breakfast food. A very unique location in Avonhead. Unique environment too. Cafe food is what you expected. Nice too.”

“Super knowledgeable and fantastic staff. My go to for BBQs and any other events I host.”

“99 Bikes Northwood went above & beyond when it came to customer service & satisfaction. Vishal was very informative & helpful in choosing an eclectic bike to suit our needs, he was very patient with us ! In addition, manager Joe was very understanding regarding price difference & made sure we were happy. Thank you to the team at Northwood. Highly recommend.”

“It was just amazing! We stopped by a few minutes before 2pm - didn't know that the kitchen closes at 2pm. They didn't send us away but seated us with a smile! Food was delicious, big portion.. really great experience thank you!:)”

“Very friendly and nice staff. Sana was serving us and was very polite and patiencive . Good was very good and well balanced. Best food we had while our tour to New Zealand. Loved the atmosphere and lovely place. Very neat and clean, with good service, food and friendly staff. 5 star earned”

“Had the Egg Burger and it was hot, fresh, and delicious - now that’s some five star take-out”

“The food was little bit too sweat but not too salty. Amount was huge! All foods were tasty and super fast to go. I will definitely visit here again when I will visit Hornby!”

“Ok, this place is just heaven on earth. I can't recommend it enough. The food is divine. I mean heavenly off the charts delicious. They have a seafood chowder to rave and remember. All ingredients were fresh and the seasoning just perfect. The place is simple and doesn't look like much, but it really is a must for the soul. Great selection of wines for a cafe. We had the beef casserole and spicy prawns with some house cocktails and even the chicken sandwich was to die for. Sabina is the most delightful and charismatic woman. Her warm and caring hospitality were truly memorable. We sure hope she comes visit us to Mexico. She freely and thoughtfully shared her advice about travelling around NZ. Honestly, we would dine here if we lived in NZ. The flavours will live in our memory forever. Thank you for a great experience”

“As a local we are spoilt for choice, awesome bakery, Indian ,chinese and the best rice balls period. But once a week or so i get my regular large mixed meat on salad with Aioli and sweet chilli sauce, pita bread on the side. Perfect, i phone in and its ready when they said , especially love the salad strangely, they ask, but i say all salads. I recommend”

“Great service great food. For $13 my tray was full. Have also tried the blue cod with chips and recommend this place for your standard fish n chip stop.”

“We are regular visitors to the restaurant and it absolutely lives up to the hype! From start to finish, the experience is always fantastic. The restaurant itself is warm and inviting, with a lovely, authentic atmosphere. The flavors are so fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The food is rich and creamy with just the right amount of spice, and traditional Thai dishes are tangy, sweet, and packed with flavor. The service is always top-notch. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Portion sizes are very generous, offering great value for money. Without a doubt, this is the best Thai food in North Canterbury. We can't wait to come back and work our way through the rest of the menu. Highly, highly recommend! A must-visit!”

“Loved it but I think some of the trees etc need thinning. Most of the walking paths have thick hedge like vegetation either side and you have no view of what's beyond”

“The food is amazing spices are there it’s flavourful and my favourite Indian place in Christ church the food is at your table in under 30 mins and tastes amazing every time there’s also a buy 1 get one free deal on Wednesdays”

“It was a fantastic experience, food was amazing. Had lamb with two types of couscous and Arab rice. My partner had also lamb with other sides, I must say the Greek salad was on top there as well. Updated the menu too, the one from 4years ago might not be relevant anymore...”

“Went to Bunco’s for brunch and it was delicious, the atmosphere was nice and cosy however the hot drinks we ordered were nice enough but only lukewarm. The eggs were perfectly cooked as was the entire meal for both.”

“I would like to praise staff member "Whetu". I have been in there several times and Whetu has been so very helpful on a number of occasions. I have had the worst treatment by the liquor store on Lincoln Rd and was hesitant to go into another bottle store. I felt that way until I was blessed with the amazing service Whetu gives. This isn't a once of behavior for her as I have gone in there over a few years and her respect, kindness and help has never changed. It's hard to find such a great and consistent worker. I have been treated with respect by all the staff there and hope their boss realizes what an amazing job they do. Considering there must be customers that require a little more patience and tolerance, yet they remain professional. Thank you Whetu and the staff of Liquorland Hornby. Great prices, service and satisfaction. Very appreciated. She deserves the name Whetu because it literally means "Star".”

“I went in today to sort out a problem I ran into with my vape/pods. "Jay" the store manager was an absolute legend & super informative about all of the products. He managed to even show me a custom method of still being able to use an outdated vape I owned so I didn't waste my money. On top of that he gave me a great deal on a brand new vape. Cannot fault his customer service - definitely recommend to anyone else struggling and or looking for new products! Thanks Jay!”

“Good car park. Reasonable walk. Great large creek for dogs. Nice.”
