Staycation in the City
Support local businesses and make your next holiday a staycation, right here in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
No jet-lag, no airports, no queues, barely any packing and a city full of gastro-delights, art, history, adventure and stunning natural beauty to explore – what more could you ask for from your next getaway?
Why have a Staycation?
One of the best things about a staycation is there’s no travel time involved. Every precious minute of your time – and possibly babysitting cover – will be well utilised. In just 24 hours you can get a great taste of what the new Christchurch is all about and feel refreshed to face the world.
Soak up the chillaxed vibe as you wander the City Promenade – its path winds lazily alongside the Avon River and takes you past the The Terrace, Victoria Square and her stunning fountains and onto the Margaret Mahy Playground. Or head up into the hills for a breath of fresh air and panoramic views of the city, Lyttelton Harbour and the endless Pacific Ocean.
