Christchurch has had a remarkable transformation following the devastating earthquakes. Out of the ruins of the old CBD a new vibrant one has risen loaded with brand new buildings that are now home to amazing, funky restaurants, bars, cafes and eateries. I'd recommend hiring one of the many electric scooters that dot the landscape and get your adventurer on!

Queenstown is a MUST for anyone traveling the South Island. Dubbed the adrenaline capital of NZ...It certainly lives up to its name. You name it you'll find it in QT - Skydive over the lake and the mountains, Bungy jumping, jet boating, canyon swing, just to name a few. For those who like their heart rates to be within normal operating ranges - there is also plenty on offer in QT.
Fergburger, Fergbakery, Fat Badgers Pizza, Eichardt's bar, Botswana butchery...the list goes on folks. If Gastronomy is your thing, this is the place for you.

Located north of Queenstown, Wanaka is simply stunning. Smaller than QT, but equally as interesting. Wanaka has a boatload on offer. Winter especially is an enchanting time of the year to be here.

HANDS DOWN! My favourite bar in New Zealand. This place simply oozes charm, history, warmth, and character. If these walls could talk! Grab a beer and head out back to the beer garden and pull up a log near the outdoor open fireplace. You won't be disappointed.

Located on the coastal road north of Christchurch, Kaikoura is a great place to visit and check out the coastal vibe. Cut off for a long time as a result of the 7.8 Mag 2016 earthquake, Kaikoura has bounced back. It's a very popular spot for whale and seal watching and a fantastic spot for fishing and gathering other Kai Moana (Maori for Seafood). Definitely make sure you get up here to have a look at what Kaikoura has to offer and to pay witness to the devastating power Mother nature had on the landscape.

Sumner is a very trendy beachside suburb of Christchurch. It's a fantastic place to come and chill out on the beach, wax up the surfboard and catch a wave or simply check out the awesome array of cafes, bars, and restaurants. A short drive over the hill and you're at Taylors Mistake. Follow the ocean track and you're on your way along a stunning track towards historic Godley head. Once you've worked up a thirst, we recommend you head to The Village inn, where the awesome staff can take care of you.

SERIOUSLY! You have to stop here and grab yourself a Fairlie bakery pie...and if you still have room...one of their Cronut/Doughnuts. You won't be disappointed. Just be prepared for a little wait to be served as the word is out and they're very very popular!

If you're like me and you love your BBQ and smoked foods then look no further. The Smokey T’s crew will have you covered....in their signature BBQ sauce. Only Open Thursday through Sunday. Bookings strongly recommended in the evenings as it's a VERY popular place.

I'm biased when it comes to The Village Inn. It's our local, it's awesome, it's chilled and it's uber friendly. Aaron and Cate (The owners) will welcome you in and seriously take care of you. A favourite amongst locals and for good reason! If you're staying with us....there's a fair chance you may end up here!
