Things to do in Christchurch

Christchurch in New Zealand’s South Island is oozing with history, culture and beautiful scenery, and BreakFree on Cashel is positioned in the heart of this wonderful destination. With lots of interesting heritage sites throughout, if you’re a history buff you’ll find Christchurch an intriguing place to visit and this Christchurch hotel puts you in the centre of it all.

Known as the ‘Garden City’ due to its manicured gardens and parks which bring the city to life, the scenery in Christchurch is second to none, with the area painted in different shades of floral colour depending on the time of year. The jewel of Christchurch’s flora is Hagley Park, where you can try river punting and explore the waterways.

Culture plays a large role in the daily life of Christchurch, with New Zealand’s Maori heritage celebrated with local performances, and an array of art galleries, dance, film, museums, and theatre shows to keep you entertained.

From white water rafting, to bungy jumping, skiing, wildlife watching, gondola rides, winery visits, and discovering New Zealand’s native fauna and flora, Christchurch offers everything you could want from your New Zealand holiday.

Public transport is frequent within the city, and at BreakFree on Cashel you can purchase your tickets at reception so you won’t have to worry about how you’ll get from A to B. There is a bus stop just 200m meters from the hotel, providing ease of access to Christchurch’s main sites and attractions.
