Public pools & Water park in Christchurch

“I like this place. Quiet and windy sometimes. Lots of wind surfers. The estuary smells when its’s dry.”

“Awesome place easy to find Lots off parks And when i have to catch a bus I can go the front off building”

“I had a great stay at Scenic Hotel Cotswold. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean, tidy, and comfortable—just what you need for a relaxing visit. The location was also a big plus, being close to amenities which made it super convenient for getting around. Overall, I was really happy with the service and the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay.”

“A great place to stay and enjoy this lovely city! The welcome by the staff has been fantastic and the food and staff in the restaurant is also fantastic! Many thanks to you all! Our room also is so lovely and homely with the living room enjoying views of the gardens and so very pleasant. The bathroom works really well and the king size bed is just like home! Thanks for everything. From the Bonds.”

“I originally picked Ramada for the parking, but the stay completely exceeded my expectations. The room was the best of my whole South Island trip — spacious, with a comfy king-size bed, washer/dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen. Absolutely loved it!”

“Nice campsite beside the airport. It might get a bit loud from the road and planes. I loved the spacious TV room with cosy sofas. Got to have it all to myself for a few hours and enjoyed watching a movie. Kitchen and bathroom are clean and functional. Staff is lovely.”

“Great facility! Very clean and my babies loving the Bubbletimes!”

“Location is very easy to find, clean facilities, loads of off street parking always something happening here. Great place to be. Home of the Canterbury Rams and the mainland Pouakai”

“Perfect stay for me, stayed for over a week. Room nice clean and up to date. Nice close to the beach. Only 30min drive to Christchurch city centre 10min to rangiora where you can get everything you need. Had plenty of questions for the staff what all have been answered. Overal a very good stay and will be back.”

“It's a great place for a swim. The people complaining that $7.40 is too much don't understand the cost of heating pools and paying employees to clean and maintain it. I grew up in a town with no indoor pool, so people in Kaiapoi don't know how lucky they are to have this sort of thing.”

“Tidy well maintained football fields, good facilities.”

“What a difference from the sfores on Auckland. Much tidier, spaced and organized, rhw prices also seemes cheaper.”

“helpful staff. Everything easy to find. Staff willing to show you if your unsure where anything is. One suggestion it would be hugely helpful if they had gold card discounts”

“Great park for a picnic, has lots of shade from the trees, big field for sports and a small playground for the wee ones”

“Fields, playground, and toilets.”

“So much fun for the kids...a great place to totally tire them out:) it's great fun for adults as well. Good party venue:)”

“Pretty wildflower area at the start of summer. Nice park apart from the garish toilets, totally unclassy”

“Really good bar nibbles and customer service...lots of smiles and laughter”

“Great store and staff here. Sad to hear that it's being closed down.”

“First stop was for a good flat white coffee. Them we found what we needed in the great range of door stops”

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to the wonderful ladies who helped me get my son out of the car. I truly appreciate the way they comforted me and supported me while I was distressed. Even though it wasn’t part of their roles, they stepped in with such kindness, generosity, and calmness during a moment when I was completely panicked. They stayed with me the entire time, reassuring me until roadside assistance arrived and opened the door. Their presence made such a difference, and I am so incredibly thankful for their lovely souls and the compassion they showed during such a stressful moment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness will never be forgotten.”

“Awesome pools great clean facilities. I come about once every two weeks to do water walking and love the spa and hydrotherapy pool.”

“Wonderful staff in the office! A small and peaceful campsite, near the beach. Probably the best water pressure I've ever seen for a campsite shower too”

“The superfriendly owner right made us feel very welcome. We were glad our last supplies (was our last day in our camper van) which we couldn't finish off would all be put to good use, also for the animals. No wastes here, good as gold! It's a nice and simple campsite with a lovely (small) beach just next to it. Had a lovely relaxing stay here, thank you again! (:”

“Peppers Clearwater really blew us away. We booked a Lakeview Suite through an Accor Plus More Escapes deal that came with breakfast, a three-course dinner, and a cheese platter with a bottle of wine – such great value. The suite itself was gorgeous, the perfect spot to unwind and recharge. Sitting out on the deck watching the ducks and swans glide by, with the sun setting over the lake, was just magic. The staff made the stay even better – both the bar and restaurant teams went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. Dinner was a real highlight: duck salad and grilled scallops to start, then fish and lamb for mains, and tiramisu plus panna cotta for dessert. Every dish was spot on. Breakfast the next morning was à la carte with excellent barista-made soy lattes, and I have to say, the eggs benedict was the best I’ve ever had. We were lucky with the spring weather too, and enjoyed our cheese platter and wine out on the deck in the sunshine – pure bliss. The little touches also made a difference, like being able to do a load of washing and plug in our rented Tesla overnight in the garage. We honestly couldn’t recommend Clearwater more. Huge thanks to all the staff for making us feel so welcome and completely spoiled.”

“The best market ever, had foods from all over the world. Tasty and not overpriced”

“We had a very pleasant stay at Sudima Christchurch Airport Hotel and stayed in the Premium King Room. We were checked in by the friendly Wade, and we would like to thank him for his professionalism and warm hospitality. His calm composure while managing multiple big group of check ins at once was truly impressive and worth mentioning. Our hotel room was clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated the pillow menu, which gave us a great night sleep. The location is also extremely convenient, it was just minutes from Christchurch Airport and within walking distance to Woolworths and several nearby food places. The free parking for hotel guests was another big plus. We also had dinner at Acheron at level 1, and were served by the welcoming Alan. We overheard he’s still a student, but we were genuinely impressed by his friendliness and service. Overall, a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. Would happily return!”

“Wow this place is great. This New gym and workout, pool yoga and much more... Lots of family fun to be had at the new pools. In the heart of the city a great place for your health and wellbeing.”

“This place has a very confident hotel and the room number was four. There were three beds and the shower was comfortable and hot shower was hot and comfy. I know the owner is a little bit strict about the hotel rules, but if you use it nicely he will say nothing so I love this hotel. There is a free wifi there too! I recommend this hotel to everyone!”
