Historic buildings fill the streets and the tranquil Avon River runs through its centre, making for great picnic spots along the willow-lined riverbanks. Visitor attractions include the Botanical Gardens, the International Antarctic centre, the Christchurch Art Gallery and the Christchurch Gondola. In summer, the nearby beaches are a great option for relaxing days in the sun. All of our Christchurch holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
