Public pools & Water park in Christchurch

“Fantastic & Free!! Stayed a night in my Non Self Contained Van, I love freedom camping, this place is fabulous, heaps of room. Flush toilets.”

“The river is hella cold but that’s to be expected it’s great”

“A very well looked after cricket ground, two pitches on the go, plenty of space but could do with more seating around the perimeter and somewhere to escape the wind. A wonderful place to watch cricket.”

“This is one of the newest retirement village in Christchurch that is located in Casebrook suburb. It is a well designed gated community retirement village and is one of three belonging to Summerset Group in Christchurch. The main complex consists of a hospital level care with other levels of care such as independent living (serviced apartments) and other facilities (refer to their website). There are also villas, cottages and townhouses to choose from. It is a safe choice for the elderly folks as this site is fully fenced with control entry for safety reasons.”

“I nice quiet little park with shaded seating, bins and toilet facilities. Lots of fun equipment but the slide stairs are rounded and not very great to climb up. Kids loved it!”

“The accommodation was fantastic! I stayed here for 2.5 months and it was a really good stay. The hostel is clean, the staff is nice and the prison theme is really cool. If you want a special hostel experience, this should be your choice in Christchurch.”

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

“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.”

“Nice spot to relax and get photos of sunset and sunrise.”

“Great park great playground. Loads of fun and have a toilet near by. Beach is not far away”

“Great place, great facility to hire”

“I always enjoy shopping at this Mitre 10! The store is well-stocked with tools, home improvement items, garden supplies, and more. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and ready to offer helpful advice. Everything is organized and easy to find, making the shopping experience smooth and stress-free. A reliable spot for all DIY and home projects!”

“This evening, a staff member went above and beyond for our family! I believe her name was Kaye, working in the click and collect department this evening. After my husband came home with our order, we realised we were missing a few things. I called up to explain and Kaye was so apologetic and helpful! So much so that she personally delivered our missing items to our home after her shift finished! Just incredible!”

“Redwood Aquatics is an amazing shop for reptile and fish supplies! Debbie is always friendly, quick to respond to my emails, and incredibly helpful. The store is fun to visit and it’s great to have such a reptile-friendly place in Christchurch - which can be hard to find. Highly recommend!!!”

“I love this home store. My son has autism and can't handle loud noises and they even have noise cancelling hearing protectors that look funky and wonderful and don't make him look out of place. They are not the standard orange but a fluro green. They have everything here and a very knowledgable staff who will help and have advice on everything in store. And there is an awesome little play area.”

“What a great place to go with the family. Great beach with lifeguard, playground pool and mountain bike trails. Huge amount of walking tracks through forest and along the wetlands with lots of birds. The beach is huge and great to drive along. Highly recommend.”

“Nice local space, boasting a disc golf course, small playground, skate park and a pond surrounded by lovely trees and plants. Very family friendly.”

“We've had nothing but a great experience buying our spa pool. It's awesome, it does everything it's supposed to and was a great price compared to big spa companies. Great quality, Balboa is the highest quality brand for spa pool parts. And we were able to pay it off in our own time. Very happy, thank you”

“A must place to visit. The walk through story of the big 2020 and 2011 quakes are very well documented. All the staff were very informative and welcoming.”

“Very nice motor camp with a great vibe. Great value for money very tidy and clean facilities. I booked one night in the Tui caravan and 2 nights in one of the cabins. Loved the Comfortable beds in the caravan. Friendly helpful staff and very accommodating when my plans got messed around by Airnz. I Will definitely recommend and will stay there again if I’m down that way.”

“Great, courteous and friendly service from Justin. He has great product knowledge about the range at Hotspring!”

“Awesome ladies working here! Keeping to limits for the Pokemon craze! And also trying their hardest to keep everyone happy with the current market of Pokemon. Absolutely awesome ladies!”

“Very busy. Good range of toys and games. Nice to see their painting section stocked well.”

“The staff here were friendly and helpful, there is a huge range of pots and containers and a small selection of plants. The prices are varied, quite a few specials and reductions.”

“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.”

“Nice skatepark and playground..clean toilets easy street parking.Rose garden is in full bloom”

“Nice hot spa while watching grandies in lazy river and shallow pool”

“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”
