Explore City and Nature in Christchurch!
Christchurch is a very nice city on New Zealand’s South Island. It’s a city but has more of a small town vibe! It’s a great location if you want to get to some of the Canterbury countryside! Check out my recs below ⬇️
Getting There - Fly into Christchurch airport located around 8km from downtown. Regular buses will take you to the city for $4.
Attractions - 1️⃣ Christchurch city tram - the tram costs around $20 and will take you around the inner city stopping at numerous attractions 2️⃣ Christchurch gondola - takes you up the mountain where there are breathtaking views over Christchurch and the surrounding countryside 📸 There are also numerous walking trails you can explore. This was my favorite part of the city as it gets you away from the people. It also reminded me of my home - Ireland - with sheep wandering around the mountain roads 🐑 3️⃣ City exploration - Christchurch isn’t a big city so it’s easy to walk around. There’s some cool buildings to see, especially on New Regents Street with the tram going through - an iconic Christchurch picture! Also check out the botanic gardens which are free to visit. The Avon River flows nearby where you can go punting if you want! 🛶
Hotels - City Centre Motel - This was a nice little motel that’s walking distance to the downtown. It’s affordable, quiet, and spacious.
Food & Restaurants - Riverside Market - An indoor market area with many options to choose from. I ate here twice trying Italian food and Nepalese food. Read reviews online before choosing a restaurant as some can be better than others. Lots of options here though for many appetites! 🍲
Let me know that you think of Christchurch!

Beauty At Every Corner In Christchurch
Thinking if a holiday with beautiful backdrops of mountains, unblock scenic lake views, the abdunace of fresh air and the many instaworthy photos to show off to your friends? Head to Christchurch, as this is should be a bucketlists for people who love the outdoor adventure and nature.
Christchurch alone has so much to offer, it is a dream paradise for one who loves to do roadtrips and long drives with roads going into the mountains and passes or driving along the calm lakes or crystal like waters.
If you would like to experience 2 different sceneries, one should go both during summer and winter and experience the adventure each season has to offer. I generally love winter as it brings out the excitement when it comes to hiking, with all your equipment, boots, hiking stick and gloves. Ahhh, so professional like!

Rydges Latimer Christchurch
Address - 30 Latimer Square, Christchurch Central City, Christchurch 8011
Ambiance/Facilities - Gyms, Saunas, Laundry
Highlights - Service was excellent, very friendly staff who is helpful in transporting our luggage in the rooms.
Rating - 4/5
Hotel is near to the city centre about 10 minutes walk. Condition of hotel is all good with amazing facilities. No views though, but ok to stay for a short trip around town. There are many shops around for those who need to do last minute shopping or for quick meals. A pity that the hotel do not provide tour guide packages currently.

Stepped into a postcard at Melaka!📸
Hey everyone! Just got back from checking out Christ Church in Melaka and wow, what a gem! The architecture is seriously stunning, with those classic red bricks and gorgeous stained glass windows. 📸✨ You can’t help but feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard when you’re there!
And let me tell you, the photo opportunities are endless. From the historic pews inside to the vibrant Dutch tombstones outside, every corner is picture-perfect. Whether you’re a photography buff or just love capturing memories, Christ Church is definitely worth a visit. Plus, it’s right in the heart of Melaka historic district, so there’s plenty more to explore nearby. Trust me, your camera roll will thank you!
