Hot pools, sauna, steam room, plunge pool
A great and affordable experience at $16 per adult, 7mins drive from the place. If you love hot pools that aren’t over booked, this is the perfect spot to take a break and relax. Book a week in advance if you can!

195 Marine ParadeI’ve heard this is a great experience if you’re looking for a novelty thing to do. A good excuse to get out of the city and be bathing at the foothills of the Southern Alps.

A nice spot with a variety of different eateries. Great during the day or in the evening. My favourites are Ramen Ria and Hanoi Alley.

Delicious shared dining. The menu is a great variety. I’m vegetarian and still found a good selection to choose from. The cocktails are a hit also.

This Mediterranean market has everything you will need to make authentic Italian style pizzas at home in our very own pizza oven! Great mozzarella, pizza sauce, and pre made dough balls!
It’s also a great place to eat there if you don’t have time to try out our pizza oven.

Sightseeing
If you like a good short hike with beautiful 360 views this is the perfect walk. It’ll get the blood pumping so bring a bottle of water with you and wear stable shoes for the gravel track.
For more of a 30min HIIT workout, take the pipeline route.

If you love a good hearty 2 hour hike this is a great one. Accessed from either Kaituna Valley or Gebbies pass. At the top you will see views of Lyttleton harbour and also views of Kaituna valley on the other side. The Kaituna access will get the heart pumping with the steep incline. Gebbies pass is much easier but still a great hike.

Another great day hike. The loop would take no more than 2 hours. To access the site it’s approx 1 hour from Christchurch. After climbing down a long flight of stairs you’ll find this pretty wee waterfall at the bottom. A beautiful pond with algae and a canoe to paddle around in is also on the loop.
