Activities/Attractions:  The second largest city in New Zealand, Christchurch lies at the southern end of Pegasus Bay, in the middle of the east coast of the South Island, between Banks Peninsula and the Canterbury Plains. The main city in the Canterbury region, Christchurch boasts over 740 parks and an extensive system of rivers, streams and wetlands, hence its name - it is known as the "Garden City".

Christchurch has a distinctive quaint English character. Its iconic city square and cathedral, its historic tram, its wide tree-lined avenues, beautifully maintained gardens, ambling inner-city rivers and restored heritage buildings do make Christchurch a picture-perfect city, and a very pleasant one to visit or live in.

Today Christchurch is a vibrant city, with a lively café scene and plenty of museums and culture venues to keep locals and tourist entertained.

Cashmere provides access to some of the best off-road walking and cycling routes in Christchurch. The elevation combined with the limited development on the Port Hills makes it a perfect spot for recreational walking and mountain bike tracks. Cashmere Heights is just a small walk from Victoria Park, a well known recreation spot.

• Spend the afternoon discovering the delightful hill walks around Cashmere and recreation features of the Port Hills
  
• On cool evenings join Gabrielle for drinks and canapés in the lounge, watching the sun disappear behind the snow capped Alps
  
• When evenings are warm, sit or stroll with a wine in the lovely terraced gardens
  
• Spend some time sampling the cuisine at one of our local restaurants or cafes
  
• The historic Sign of the Takahe is nearby and is ideal for dinners, weddings or functions
  
• Before you retire, relax in the garden spa, listening to music under a canopy of stars, moonlight above and twinkling city lights below
  
• You might enjoy and are very welcome to have a tinkle on the piano
  
• Whatever the season, linger for a few days and you will leave relaxed and refreshed
