Christchurch City attractions

Known as “the garden city” for its wonderful botanical gardens, Christchurch’s famous Cathedral square and bustling city centre with its many cafes and restaurants is an easy commute from Claremont.

Christchurch offers the international visitor a great variety of attractions including the Canterbury Museum, where, amongst many fascinating exhibits you can see the remains of a plesiosaur found at Claremont. Nearby is the acclaimed Arts centre. The Air Force museum is worth a visit as is the Antartic Centre and if you are looking for a relaxing pursuit how about enjoying a leisurely punt along the river Avon?

Perhaps the best way to see Christchurch is with your own personal guide. We can arrange a guide with a tailor made itinerary geared to your particular interests. Half a day with our guide will ensure that you see and enjoy the highlights of Christchurch. Should you be arriving on a morning flight we can arrange for the guide to meet and greet you at the airport.

The guide will conduct you on an informative personal tour designed to suit your personal tastes and interests prior to your afternoon check-in at Claremont. Alternatively, if you have selected Claremont as a hub to explore Christchurch & Canterbury our guide can be arranged to escort you for a full day that will include both the best of the Waipara vineyards and the highlights of Christchurch.
