Sport & School & Kindergarten in Christchurch

“I only have good things to say about Annabel’s - we absolutely love it! Our daughter started in the nursery, then the pre-k & is currently in the kindy, and truly thrives there. The teachers are outstanding- so caring, fun & organised, and have been so amazing helping my daughter transition to each room. There are so many fun activities - singing, dancing, arts, crafts, outdoor fun + more. My son has just started in the nursery & I am excited for him to be starting his Annabel’s journey.”

“These guys are absolutely amazing. Going to a BJJ gym you never know what you are going to get, a kind gym or a gym filled with ego. This gym was one of the nicest gyms I’ve ever been to. The facility is clean, and well maintained (with amazing art too!). We visited from the United States and we were welcomed as if we’ve been training there for years. Zach was the coach for the night and he couldn’t have been nicer, and he was pretty funny too, with loads of talent to share. The class we attended was absolutely amazing and we had a great time. If you’re searching for a gym, or want to train while away from home, this is the place to go. Thank you guys again for making us feel at home, and for giving us a place to train the sport we love.”

“We’re thrilled with the Plexipave resurfacing which has transformed our old asphalt court. Mel and Jules were fantastic to deal with. Professional, efficient, friendly and great communicators, nothing was ever a problem. Working with the weather, they came at all hours over Labour weekend to get the job done and the result is superb. Rob and Sue”

“Great place to train at, was in town on business and was able to drop in for a few rounds. Very welcoming & a great bunch to roll with. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely loved pottery class here! Tess is so friendly and knowledgeable, class is always one of the best parts of my day. I loved the freedom to create, and with the guidance and expertise from Tess I was really proud of our work. Would definitely recommend and will go again!”

“I love Yoga by Karma! From my experience there is nothing like it. It is so beautiful and I really get a sense of peace so I can focus on my yoga practice, so much nicer than going to a gym as you get the whole experience & much more. The lovely teachers have given me more attention because of the smaller class sizes and they have taken the time to get to know what works best for my body. I couldn't recommend Yoga by Karma enough! What a gem of a studio!”

“I found Canterbury Driver Training School on Facebook page and contacted them for my class 2 driver training. I booked with them for the 22nd of August and they were very understanding to make a payment arrangement for since I did not have a full payment ready for the course. After successfully completing the course, they surprised me with a sponsorship for my class 2 course. The instructors are so fun yet professional at the same time. Scott is an incredible instructor he immediately made me feel at ease behind the wheel and His instructions during the practical test were very clear that I didn’t need to ask him for anything else. On the Other hand, Phil was very patient and made the theory lessons so much fun. He has lots of tips, and made sure I was fully ready before my test. Over the 2 day course, Phil gave me the confidence, coaching me in everything that I needed to correct in order to pass. His advice was incredibly helpful in improving my driving skills and preparing me for the practical driving test and I feel like I am a safer driver now.”

“I am so grateful to Best Start Rangiora, with having to have my son start daycare at 4.5month old, it was so reassuring knowing he was going to a Centre where the educators really care, and treat him like their own. They're the most trusting group of teachers and I'm so glad I chose them.”

“Great gym with friendly and encouraging trainers. Includes boxing fitness classes and circuits. Suitable for all fitness levels and abilities. Good value for money.”

“Rafael took 16 of us through a BJJ class as part of a Stag Do. They tailored the experience really well to a range of abilities and everyone had a great time. Would definitely recommend this as an activity in the future.”

“Had my eyelash extensions done by Lisa for the second time, and just like the first, she did an excellent job! She took my preferences into account and suggested the best way to achieve my desired look based on my eye shape. I also had my brows done last time, and she made sure both the shape and tint color suited me perfectly. So happy to have found such an amazing and friendly lash tech!”

“Friendly staff. Good councelling”

“my son is loving it. Instructors are friendly and he’s having a brilliant time.”

“Over a two week period I have completed the PG1 and PG2 course then passed my Paramotoring course through Parapro - with Dave. The course exceeded my expectations. Over the two week period I observed that Dave is the most experienced instructor in Christchurch (due to his age and time flying) his mannerism is both calming and reassuring, which made him an awesome instructor. I came away with the confidence to continue flying on my own. Hopefully for many years to come. So if its been on your bucket list, give Dave a ring - you won't be disappointed! Cheers Dave Garth Wilson”

“Penelope was fantastic today. It was Sunday and busy but she took the time to assess my walking and give me really good options. She made me feel at ease and no question was silly to her. I walked in really nervous and walked out very happy with my Mizanos. Great work and thank you!”

“Lots of fun there! Almost christmas 14th of December and 15th of December show time you can go to that if you want! 2024”

“What an experience! 3 of us from Total Realty, along with our husbands, had the most incredible prep, cooking, and tasting experience! We had so much food we all took enough home for dinner. Was such a cool thing to do - get amongst it and have a go!”

“Fast, reliable and friendly service. Great quality skort received, love the utility pocket - it comes in handy when playing lawn bowls. I purchased a size 14 but will probably order a 12 next time. Great price.”

“I was an international guest at TFI for three months. I had an amazing time there; everyone was incredibly welcoming. The institute is excellently equipped, and the fencing was a lot of fun.”

“Enjoyed our tiny tigers session through kidsfest and are looking forward to continuing our journey :)”

“Having never been to a Dentist, I was apprehensive at first. The service provided by Daniel and his team was outstanding. Every step was explained, and the process straightforward.”

“Lovely staff, very efficient, great products”

“I had an excellent experience with my DG license . The training was clear, professional, and very well structured. Complex regulations were explained in a simple and practical way, with real-world examples that made the learning engaging and easy to understand. The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer questions. # online training helps too much to understanding the dangerous goods rules and regulations.”

“Went in to have a one-on-one two hour training session as I hadn't been in the riding seat for about three years. Walked out with my BHST! Steve was absolutely phenomenal. Great sense of humour, made me feel super at ease and confident. He wasn't afraid to hold me accountable when I made silly mistakes, which is exactly what I needed as he could pin point the moments I started overthinking things. He had a great way about him, the session was relaxed, covered all the basics, and when watching back the videos my friend took I hear myself laughing most of the time. Great fun, and Steve was a big part of that. Ornsby better watch out though as I'm devising a plan to steal that blue GN! Highly recommend.”

“I loved the retreat! You can choose to do as much or as little as you like. There was a lot of raw honesty in a connective and nurturing environment. Being able to express yourself in such a safe space was truly valuable I'd highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a supportive and authentic experience”

“Tee was absolutely fantastic with my Son and he passed his first try. He always made him feel really comfortable and definitely gave him the confidence he needed. His parallel parking technique is spot on. Highly recommend.”

“I emailed with a hopeful chance that they might accommodate a ride on Christmas day, and was thrilled that they could. Hannah and Kata greeted us and I produced us to our horses. My mother and I are experienced riders, but had never been on Icelandic horses before. We rode along a wetland with black swans, through beautiful pine forests, and along the ocean beach. They were impressive, easily moving through the trails and powerful through the sand. Kata and Hannah even taught us a new gait, the tolt, special to these incredible builds. The speed they could gain on the beach was exhilarating. Definitely not a horse just for kids. Would highly recommend this horse, this route, and this company!”
