Go for a romantic punt down the River Avon or hire a canoe, kayak or paddle boat for as little as $10 an hour. The view of Christchurch is spectacular and you’ll meet a lot of feathered friends along the way.

The food is great, staff are friendly and helpful and nice and close to the hospital

Located next to the picturesque Avon River, grab a cheap bite to eat at this lovely cafe before jumping in a kayak. The cafe food is super good and the place is always packed with tourists and locals. There is even a resident cat to hang out with!

Spent an hour paddling up the river in a kayak with my 4yr old son for his birthday, he loved it! A great experience and lots of fun, definitely worth buying some bread to feed the ducks.

Lovely way to spend half an hour with friends or family. Peaceful, great ways and nice to see a different (water level) view of the botanical gardens and Hagley Park.
