Tourist attraction in Christchurch

“A lovely space rice in the middle of Hornby”

“The best rugby! It was awesome to see the Crusaders Team training. Great people running for a good cause, "The Long Run". So nice to see a big community give their best to support the ones in need. I can't wait to be there next time!”

“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”

“Great sports park to walk in. No benches but fantastic to have a safe walk/run area. They have soccer in winter and I think I saw the groundsman mowing the lawn for cricket the other day. Nice open space surrounded by lots of beautiful housing”

“Good small park for walking dogs. They also added a nice 300m track, without too many holes. Great place to practice rugby. Quite far from the road and sheltered with trees making this park nice and relaxing. It's not very busy either and it had a nice playground. The footpath does need some repairs because when it rains there is a massive puddle where you have to go in the muddy grass to go around it, so not ideal. But other things make up for this.”

“There are secrets to find in Matawai Park, Rangiora, if you are observant enough to find them.”

“Great park for a kick around. Right across from the water & next to a new school. Portapotty onsite”

“Dog here, this is a great little park with good spots for pee mail. There is a few things about but no lights. It is a long thin small park and can get busy there is a small pond too but the ducks do not want to be sniffed. Also something funny happens with the pond as it is only above leg depth on the ducks but I was swimming. Anyway apart from some stuck up ducks it is pretty social and safe down a dead end road and away from sports fields. Lights are not a problem for me I am black and my nose works in the dark. My owner spent about 10 minutes calling a tractor tyre called leo to him. I could not figure out why and eventually tapped him on the back of the leg to say the tyre is not coming. Boy did he jump, but that tyre must have been dead like I get when I see a rabbit, none here tho. Recommend will do again.”

“Manuka Cottage is there! A Communtiy Centre where affordable activities bring people together. A safe space to develop social relationships, participate in any number of activities, or simply sit and enjoy a hot drink, read the newspaper...... go and check it out!”

“Playground could do with an update but still good fun and lots to play on. A small creek nearby, basketball courts and fields.”

“Fantastic golfing experience. Great layout. Fairways the best I’ve ever hit a ball off. The staff are a credit to your business. I wish I could remember your names individually as you’re an absolute credit to your employers. From the course Marshall who approached us to take pins out as we putted to apologising for the slowness as it was the members medal day. Which he didn’t have to do as I was thoroughly enjoying the day (again I’m hopeless with names but what a fantastic bloke who came and asked me in the clubhouse how my round went) Also the young proshop or manager who asked me how my day went as I sat for a beer. Great hospitality and I can’t wait to come back. 10/10 experience.”

“A gem of Hornby, velodrome remains from the 1974 Commonwealth Games, fantastic home of Hornby Rugby and Cricket!”

“There is a nice Freedom campsite oposite to this park, good toilets, one minute walk to the beach, very quiet. We stayed one night it was a pleasant stay.”

“GREAT place for having fun wiwith kids.”

“Warren park, is a good park, and it’s big, we just went for a walk, it’s good for walking dogs, and even going for a picnic, I recommend it to all”

“Nice park for dogs. good evening spot for walk and open playground area . nice and open parking place .”

“Really good portion and tasty food, good portion to price”

“Best Thai in town. Consistent, full of flavour, fresh, well priced, large portions. Great service”

“Came here for the 3rd time in about 2 months for a dine in meal. The service is always excellent and the food top notch. Never had a bad time, the owner is always smiling and enjoying giving his customers the best experience. Plus he makes these awesome artworks out of vegetables.”

“I was privileged to be a member of the first guided tour group. The complete tour travelled on all three of their trains from Auckland to Queenstown (includes a bus sectoin from Greymouth) but due to time constraints I only went as far as Christchurch. This was a wonderful trip with stops along the way - all organised ahead of time. Some stops were just one night with others two nights. Some sightseeing tours were included eg cablecar ride, Marlborough wine tour and city sights tours whilst others were optional extras egpunting in Christchurch and whale watching in Kaikoura. Most meals were included with some on the trains. Our tour guide, Mark, demonstrated his great love for NZ and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We also had time to ourselves to rest, hire a bike and wander through the shops, galleries and museums etc. The trains had onboard commentaries and were very comfortable with large viewing windows to take in the spectacular scenery. Also met Valerie, Graham and Emma from the booking office. A fantastic team. Loved every minute.”

“Tidy well maintained football fields, good facilities.”

“best experience ever lol parks a bit small trees around it doesn't do it justice”

“Great place to let kids run off steam. Good for all ages with nature play Options”

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

“Wide open green space next to the red zone with partial fencing. Tennis court, petanque boulodrome, basic playground and public toilets. Underutilised sport fields with views of the Port Hills and close to the Otakaro-Avon Corridor. A well kept secret in Avondale.”

“Nice park. Visitors can free to use the barbecue grill and have a party there. Easy to get there. Christchurch Metro Bus stop just on Mathers Road outside the park (bus 60).”

“First time coming here after craving Italian, best to book as its not a big place and fills up quick, got lucky calling 10 minutes ahead for a table for 2. Staff are wonderful, cheerful and happy to help, orders are taken quicken and plates cleared efficiently. It can be a bit of a wait for mains as theyre cooked fresh but worth the wait. Everything on the menu looks good and theres a big drink selection too. 10/10!”

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

“Our favorite stop for a hearty meal after a very long day. Good portion sizes and tasty food. Their fish and chips was beautifully done as well.”

“My partner and I have been going to Sushi Ya for 3 months now, every weekend. The customer service from Jack has never disappointed us. He truly goes above and beyond for us and fellow customers. He never fails too put a smile on our face and we always leave the store itching too come back for more. The food is by far the best sushi we have ever had, we’ve never had a bad experience here. Thank you Sushi Ya but most importantly thank you Jack for always making our experience a better one. You never fail to disappoint, keep doing what you’re doing! the world is better with people like you around.”
