There is a great coffee house up the road a few metres that was brilliant for late night lattes and cakes, we also had a main meal there and it was brilliant also for $NZ15. We did the ride on the gondola/chair lift to the mountain peak, was foggy and no real views that day, make sure you go on a clear day! We also found a flyer in the YMCA for horse riding tours. We booked on their 24hr hotline and they picked up and dropped off for $NZ50 each, consisting of a 1hr ride and brief lesson, we had never ridden horses before and found it to be excellent for the beginner. We visited Christchuch in August and found it to be cold and you need a good jacket and thermal underwear. Around the gift stores as you will notice there are huge differences in prices from store to store, we held out buying clip on kiwis and found them for $10.80 at a smaller store compared to $22 at larger stores.

Beautiful, low-key city to begin a tour of south island; don't miss new Christchurch Art Gallery--stunning architecture, friendly staff, and a fine, varied collection; the Arts Centre nearby combines working studios of craftspeople and artists along with shops, cafes, and restaurants amid the rambling stone towers and courtyards of the (relocated) U of Canterbury(1874); had a thumping good sandwich platter(huge portions) at The Bog on Cashel St, along with delish pumpkin soup & some trad fiddle pickin--a great comfy pub!

New World shopping centre in town has a cold St Pierre's sushi counter. The trip on the number 28 bus out to the Gondilar is a good day out.

Queenstown and Milford sound are great! Don't spend to much time in Christchurch! To much to see in the south!

Christchurch is fantastic! They are extremely tourist-oriented. Lots of credit go to the Information centre. We can book almost anything, everything under the sun/moon! It is just so convenient for free and easy tour.
The weather is cool and I like it a lot. Except the weather wasn't suitable for us to take the hot-air balloon. Imagine our flight was cancelled three times!! How disappointed we were but at the same time we were glad the operator put SAFETY as the very first priority to us! Thanks for that!

Spend maybe a day or two in Christchurch, then head over to Queenstown. It's a short 45-minute flight. Queenstown is more beautiful with many more things to do, especially for the adventurous.

Recommend tour to Antarctic Centre and Willowbank. Gondola ride and evening meal a must for sights over the city. Everyone we met in Christchurch was friendly and helpful, especially the 'characters' on the city trams.
