A great escape


Taking a break from work, family, or just because you can, doesn’t have to mean fleeing the country, although that too is an option.

The areas in and around Christchurch offer a myriad of opportunities for short and long-term escapes, ranging from sophisticated luxury to more simple accommodation.

Queenstown, Dunedin, Kaikoura are all a few hours drive away from central Christchurch, easily reachable on a Friday afternoon so you can make the most of a weekend. If you do like adventure, check out the Chatham Islands.

That said, don’t rule out a staycation. Our central city has plenty of escapism options, with luxury stays, appealing boutiques, and fabulous bars and restaurants. Check out the cafes by day, take in a movie, or a show at a local theatre, and then hit the club scene at night. During the day, wander the parks, tour street art, art galleries, and relax with a spot of brunch, lunch, or after five o’clock a
cocktail or two.
