Christchurch is the hub of New Zealand's South Island, a vibrant beautiful city with plenty to see and do all year round.
Christchurch is New Zealand's ‘Garden City' and it had plenty of parks and gardens. Hagley Park is not far from Fyffe on Riccarton motel and includes the world-famous Botanical Gardens, the Christchurch Museum and Art Gallery, a golf course and the Arts Centre with many arts and crafts to buy.
Shopaholics will love the variety Christchurch has to offer. Westfield Riccarton Mall (only 5 minutes from Fyffe on Riccarton Motor Lodge) is one of the largest shopping malls in New Zealand. The central city area of Christchurch has many fashion boutiques and designer clothing as well as dozens of cafes for that well-earned latte!
Take a trip on the tram past the iconic Christchurch Cathedral or ride up the Gondola for stunning views across Christchurch city, Lyttelton Harbour and out to the Pacific Ocean and majestic Southern Alps.
Sue and Brian of Fyffe on Riccarton motel know Christchurch well and have some great suggestions for the best things to do around the city.
