Parks in Christchurch

“Wonderful place to bring family and friends! We had an (arctic) blast last time we went, had a lot to do and see with all the activities and shows althroughout. Please note though that rides do have a height requirement which they are a bit strict with for safety reasons. The rest are pretty accessible to the young and young at heart. A bit pricey but you doget a lot of enjoyment and knowledge out of it.”

“Went in to purchase a bike lock, not requiring the top of the line and got shown a good range and description and the pro's and con's of each lock. Very informative and got to use my members voucher. Everyone I have dealt with when ever I in the store at Hornby are fantastic.”

“Been playing sports here since they opened. Different owners over the years & price increases as well. Good carparking, Any accidents sorted fast. Fun nights and great refs”

“Great place to relax. If you have car you can follow the Google map but if you catch bus and get off Edward Street then turn left. Keep walking until you see liffey drive turn right. Start walking from there. Do not catch eels as fish is well protected”

“Nice starting point to access some Burwood red zone walks.”

“The waimakariri tavern is a gr8 place to visit for a quiet drink with some friends. on the weekends they also have live music Saturdays and Sundays if it's a lovely day it's awsome to sit outside and toe tap to the music”

“The pizza is expensive but very very delicious, especially the buffalo chicken pizza! The store doesn’t have a lot of seating but there’s normally always at least one seat free. The workers are friendly and overall the store has a very nice vibe to it!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Truly Unique and Memorable Dining Experience Maharaja Indian Restaurant in Christchurch is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, friendly service that makes you feel right at home. It’s a family-run spot that’s been around for over 20 years, serving up amazing authentic Indian food. The team here genuinely cares about their guests, and it shows in every detail – nothing is too much trouble, and everything is done with a smile.

“Fantastic restaurant — one of the best Indian places around! Tried their chicken tikka masala and sahi paneer , both were bursting with flavour. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend Indian Ocean for anyone who loves authentic, high-quality Indian food.”

“Friendly and quick service. The food was nicely presented and tasted amazing! The flavours were beautifully balanced. The atmosphere was good but a little too noisy for me.”

“Delicious Thai food in Chch and great service! Tastes just like home. Highly recommend this place✨✨⭐️”

“As a Singaporean who can hardly take spice (orders wei la mala), the flavours are great (slightly too salty if anything), mild spice level is really mild, but almost making me sweat. Portions are great, one main with rice can feed 1.2 people.”

“Fast serving, value got money on lunch menu, cheaper price with massive portion that you can actually be 2 meals!! Have to enquire on vegetarian options as not clearly indicate on menu.”

“This restaurant truly exceeded expectations in every way. The service provided was exceptional, making the entire visit a pleasure. From start to finish, the staff demonstrated professionalism and a genuine desire to ensure a positive experience. It's clear that a great deal of effort goes into creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a remarkable outing.”

“Absolute amazing. The food was perfect, one of the best meals my wife and I have had and we eat out a lot. Great service as well! Definitely recommend!”

“They have specials every day of the week. Love that it is supported by mature customers. The food is tasty, have had pizza on 2 occasions and a liver and bacon dish on one. The gravy is devine for meat lovers. Worth returning. The staff are very friendly and wrlcoming.”

“Hannah was exceptional, she was super friendly and helpful! Kids loved her, we will definitely be back :)”

“What an outstanding morning, watching early rugby, breakfast and great coffee. Great start to the day. Jasmine was outstanding with her service. Very attentive and nothing was a problem. Always a great team. Look forward to the next game.”

“One of the region’s best playgrounds, particularly for young children. Nice, quiet setting by the lake, with wooden walkways and viewing areas. Facilities include picnic benches and modern toilets. Playground equipment is new, tidy and varied. Beautiful in the evening with the sun setting across the lake and through the trees.”

“I've been coming to this place for years, since it opened and love it for a quiet sit down. The cheese scones I genuinely rate as the best in New Zealand. Very unique, light and fluffy on the inside with a nice crust on the outside. Huge too.”

“What an experience. Out for a family dinner to celebrate our anniversary and it honestly couldn't have been better. Brilliant friendly staff, so helpful and onto it. Awesome atmosphere for the kids and us adults. Then the food, top notch and out in great time. You'll definitely be our first choice on family nights out. Thanks so much.”

“Had a great meal here. Efficient, friendly staff. Generous portions. I had enough to ask for a take away container.”

“Good wee supermarket to have down the road”

“Pretty park, great for walking around.”

“Love this pizza shop since it has opened good selection, tidy, definitely recommend”

“Our large group enjoyed superb service and each of us was impressed with the dishes we chose. Each was beautifully presented and tasted delicious.”

“Absolutely love this place. We have had it +5 times and it never fails! The Pad Thai is so delicious and full of flavour, also has decent veges! The green curry is devine! We love the vegetarian wontons too. There is always a lovely man on the phone when you confirm your online order. Portion sizes are excellent too.”

“Avonhead takeaways has the best Taiwanese crispy chicken in town. We also tried their Korean fried chicken and octopus balls. Very yummy Asian street food with good value for money.”

“The team here support the local LEGO group, if you're after LEGO, look no further. On multiple occasions I have contacted them to express interest in yet to be released sets. They have taken down my contact details, set the item aside when stock came in, then called me back to let me know it's ready. Kudos to whatever system to they're using to keep track of these requests, as sometimes the products haven't reached NZ until months after my initial contact. To top it all off they even ensure you get your desired minifig in the blind bags. The prices can be a little higher than the likes of Kmart or The Warehouse, but it's worth it.”

“The staff here are amazing always asking how I'm doing , very friendly. Is a tad pricey but worth it for the service the team give me”
