Water park in Christchurch

“Great experience. Check-in was quick. Park is huge with lots of space between campers. Kitchen, BBQ, and washrooms were brand new. Laundry takes 2x $2 coins per machine. Overall great stay would recommend. Recommendations for park: double sided dump stations to allow more efficient departure times”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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”

“We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful scenery along the Avon River. The area felt much more expansive than the Botanical Garden but still provide green luscious atmosphere comparable to the Garden, with lovely walking tracks shaded by tree-lined paths. There’s also a nice café to stop by along the way. Overall, doing a loop walk from bridge to bridge was a truly enjoyable experience.”

“Incredible experience and customer service. Got to see amazing scenery during our 3 day trip. The guides went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable trip. Would highly recommend.”

“Nice view from the top, can be a bit muddy”

“Special but in wrong place on the map. It is actually across the river”

“Fantastic island to explore. Great walking tracks. Amenities were surprisingly good. Great place for kids especially the boat ride thrown in.”

“First time visit. Nice. Worth taking the gondola up. The view is panoramic and beautiful. My family enjoyed the hike very much.”

“I and my son just strolling around the hagley till we found this stunning place which we decided to have a look inside,been here already for a long time in nz but it was my first time to went inside that place and it was amazing,loves those different sort of plants.please check it out if you have time .☺️cant upload video as it was too long.”

“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 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.”

“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”

“A beautiful walk with a stunning waterfall. Challenging in parts & a long hike. Very, very muddy with a lot of fallen trees. Mostly well maintained but could do with a bitbof a tidy up some more board walks over the very muddy parts. Very successful for doggo owners & people ready for a good adventure.”

“Beautiful place especially on a calm warm summers night. Love it”

“Nice track and beautiful waterfall. Watch out for mozzies and sandflies in summer. Be sure to go with people as you’ll want someone to open and close the gates for you as you pass through the farms. I’d recommend taking a 4wd to cross the rivers along the way.”

“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.”

“Great lawn bowling club the BEST afternoon teas”

“Fantastic walking tracks and best of all your dog can come too Alfie loved it.”

“beautiful, but doesn’t seem like great skiing (:”

“Excellent service from the whole team: prompt response with honest and reliable product specifications.”

“Great place to hang out with kids.”
