Things To Do
New Regent Street
Great place for Rollickin' gelato, and a personal favourite is Gin Gin or The Last Word for drinks.
Grizzly Baked Goods
For those who love coffee, pastries and bagels this is the place, with a few sites in Central Christchurch, this is a nice easy spot to get a quick bite and caffeine fix.
Brunch spots in Central Christchurch
Unknown Chapter, Child Sister, Doubles.
Cassels Brewery Bar & Restaurant
If you know Luther, he loves Cassels! Definitely a go-to for going out for food AND a beer....or two.
Cafe Valentino
Luther and Meike love Italian food and have spent many times celebrating Anniversaries and Valentine's Days here.
Arbour Woodfire Pizza
A little out the way in Lyttelton there are beautiful views of Banks Peninsula, as well as a yummy pizza spot Luther and Meike enjoy!
OGB
Luther and Meike love a place with live music, OGB is ideally located in Central Christchurch. Open from lunch time with nice outdoor seating. The same owners also have a cool wee bar underground called Austen Club that you need a password to enter (IYKYK or find this on their website).
Disc Golf
One of the activities Luther and Meike do together is go disc golfing. One course in particular is in Queenspark, Parklands where Meike grew up.
Taylors Mistake Beach
It is no mistake if you want to venture out to a more secluded spot called Taylors Mistake. Also, there is the Godley Head loop track which is a 3hr loop that can be accessed from Taylors Mistake if you want to do part of this track.
Botanic Gardens
The Christchurch Gardens is a beautiful spot for a walk around, there is the Ilex cafe that you can stop at, close to the rose garden and glasshouse. Also, close to where park runs are held in Hagley Park.
Little River
Luther and Meike have done a few motorbike trips to this small town, the drive out that way is lovely and there is a nice cafe with a gallery attached to it that we stop at.
Sumner Beach
This is the most popular beach in Christchurch. Lots of cafes, restaurants and ice-cream parlours as well as an esplanade overlooking the beach.
Akaroa
Located 1hr outside of Christchurch, it is a beautiful drive to Akaroa on the Banks Peninsula. If you ever have a few days in Christchurch try make the trip out to Akaroa and enjoy the many things Akaroa has to offer.
