“Nice and relaxing place... Good place for walking, running and bird watching ♥️”

“All great reviews and I dont have words to describe this phenomenon place. Everything is well groomed. The park is so clean and does not matter how you roam the park, you wont get lost. A must visit, and please make a donation.”

“Great swim school! Well organised & Blair is an awesome coach. Highly recommend!”

“I just want to pass on our thanks to the installer. He phoned and gave some advice on several things that would improve storage and ensure wardrobe doors didn’t get worn out. He has done an awesome job, we feel the job is great value for money and couldn’t fault the service. The end result has improved storage 10 fold and saved us the hassle and time of trying to do this ourselves Much appreciated. We would happily recommend you and the team to others”

“Wow, what a fabulous activity to have in the heart of the city! A number of Punt boats go down the Avon River, guided by young gentleman dressed in the European/English style, to give some authentic vibes to the experience! Charlie was our 'punter' a very friendly young chap, and very knowlegable about the Botanical Gardens we floated beside, as well as all the variety of birds and Ducks on the river! The tour lasts around 1/2 hr, and worth every dollar!”

“Huge playground for the little ones and big kids. It's huge and with lot of equipments. It will keep the kids busy for hours and hours. Parking is available next to the park and if you are lucky a food truck will also be present next to the park to have some snacks if needed.”

“Kids friendly. Easy access from the forest nearby”

“Great park with scenic views Toilets and rubbish bins on hand The park is not fenced but is on a quiet road”

“Beautiful place for a lovely walk and relaxed picnic. There is a great playground for the kids. There are Ducks & Eels!”

“Beautiful spot. Very cheap fish and chippy nearby, what's not to like!”

“Really great beach. Cafe is busy and deservedly so. Great time had by all.”

“A peaceful escape from the city, watercress grows all along the river and the water looks fresh and swimmable”

“Great spot... Oxford lions club done a great job. Picnic tables and a pergola..toilets, really nice place to stay... Wide variety of camping styles here tonight.”

“Went to selwyn sounds with a group of friends and 10 thousand others. Great afternoon”

“Good car park reasonably close. Good sized dog area. No water available? Reasonably clean. My dogs and I enjoyed.”

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

“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.”

“Lovely little hidden gem, stunnung tracks set amongst tranquil, native bush, not far from christchurch. walks with good options for just a leisurely easy walk to a more adventurous 2hr hike. We did the loop track, which is about 50 minutes but we took our time and took in the scenery so were out there for awhile, pretty moderate. Very beautiful.”

“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”

“Wonderful vintage Market at this beautiful historic home. Market nicely set up inside house. A good rummage day.”

“Good place for scenic views over Christchurch. There's a beautiful building which houses a cafe at the end of the walk. Toilet facilities are available. Plenty of street parking is also available. Google will most likely say "you have arrived" right in the middle of nowhere. You will see steps that you can take to reach the viewpoint (5 minutes), alternatively, you can keep driving a bit further until you see the entrance to the track.”

“Les mills fit classes are run well here”

“This park is fantastic, right up there with the Margaret Mahy park. Right by the sea.”

“Highly rate this swim school! We had spent so much on community pool swimming lessons for our children to learn very little skills. A year on and they have got the children swimming with boards! I’m so impressed with the skills these coaches have ☺️”

“needed some special galv fittings and no drama to order in, they rang when they arrived and even offered to drop off if I wasn't in a hurry when one of the techs was calling by - first class cant fault them cheers”

“Go at night it is the amazing entrance to Christchurch botanical gardens. If you come during the sunny hours the water fountain will sparkle in all the different colours of the rainbow. Unfortunately no one throws money in there so no extra income for me. Water pressure also not strong enough to take a coherent shower and I got soap in my eye.”

“Excellent service! Very knowledgeable and willing to help out! Would recommend!”

“Really nice ground, good practice area and and parents can sit and watch. Enough place for car parking.”

“Kings swim school staff are so incredibly lovely, helpful and accommodating . The facilities are very clean and family orientated. I couldn't recommend a better swim school to send your child to!”

“More convenient following recent move. Great assistance from multiple staff members including precision thin ply cuts for renovation job, advice on peripheral painting products and tool set up and use. Seemingly everything I need here, apart from groceries. There is a reason why this version of the chain is so highly rated.”
