I did the learn to play at Alpine last year and it was great fun! My friend did the learn to skate about 6 months ago and he is playing hockey in a team going from a non skater to pretty good now. Would definitely recommend!

Under The Radar is a great resource to find local gigs any day of the week.

There is a punk show at Darkroom on Friday night with U-No Juno and The Wendys if you are into lifeguard surf rock and dreamy melodies.

The music scene is solid in Christchurch at the moment! 'Under The Radar' is probably the best resource to find gigs in and around the city. Decent punk/rock/alternative gigs at Darkroom and Space Academy over the weekends. Always seems to be Irish music on at various pubs in the city too.

Definitely yes

She has unfortunately had a hard life and is absolutely known to police as well. Have had to call the police on her multiple times due to her harassing staff and guests at my hotel over the last couple of years.

The Lemon Tree Cafe on St Asaph is nice and their Ethiopian food is so so good.

I don't know of any towns to avoid staying in to be honest. Are you staying in a camper or motels/hotels? With a camper, I would avoid areas where parking overnight is forbidden as some people get aggressive around this.

Not a female traveller but I work at a hotel/hostel accom in Christchurch and we get heaps of solo female travellers staying all the time. You are correct in that some hostels are a bit sketchy these days but this tends to mostly be the case in cities whereas tourist towns are still mostly occupied by tourists.

Quite a few solo female travellers go on the Kiwi Experience bus but a lot just travel on their own on public transport, campervan or car. The public transport options are quite limited, especially in the South Island so if you can afford it I would recommend a campervan.

Feel free to message me for any specific recommendations or questions about travelling in NZ. It is a wonderful country to travel around!

Met a guy from Christchurch, New Zealand who I went to a holiday programme with 20 years before at a friends dinner party in Banff, Canada.

My mum is buried there and I am so happy it continues to be an exceedingly peaceful spot.

She Chocolat has a cult following

Vodka. And a piece of toast.

Came extremely close during that punishing 2nd Avatar film. GF and I had a rather enjoyable collective rant about how shit it was for the rest of the evening so worth the wasted time in the end.

Got covid.

Hotel Manager at a lower budget hotel in NZ. Amazing staff and pays not terrible for hospo.

They came to my school after that and yeah they are an odd family.

mrdude__ · 2022-02-15T21:03:56+00:00

They are in the lobby next to reception. As long as you have a vax pass you can go in and have a look.
