Talk to a Local Bob Mangan CEO – Isaac Theatre Royal, Christchurch

My top must-do’s for visitors to Christchurch are: • Hagley Park is just beautiful for a ride, walk or run. • Dinner with the kids at Little High Eatery. • Take a tram around town and check out Riverside Markets. • Coffee at Café Lab and a walk down New Regent Street. • Walk up Rapaki Track for some amazing views. • Check out Riccarton Bush markets on a Saturday morning.

I’m starting to feel hungry just thinking about the great food and wine at Francesca’s Restaurant. We love it there; the polenta fries are out of this world! For a delightful day trip, I’d direct visitors to Hanmer Springs. It’s world class. It’s got everything – a great village atmosphere, thermal pools, restaurants, activities for the kids. Definitely worth the drive. Living in Christchurch city is awesome because the people are so friendly and it’s a great lifestyle.
