GETTING THERE
Te Pae Christchurch is located in the centre of the city, just a short 15–20 minute drive from Christchurch International Airport.
As the gateway to Te Waipounamu (South Island), Christchurch is well connected to the world and is a regional hub for flights from around New Zealand.
A flat city built and redeveloped through careful urban planning, Christchurch is an easy city to walk around. Ōtākaro Avon River provides a beautiful, tree-lined promenade for strolling amongst the city’s cafes, restaurants and attractions.
Distinctive laneways and pedestrian precincts make for an intriguing way to explore the centre city on foot or by e-scooter, while the hop-on/hop-off historic Christchurch Tram provides a leisurely loop through the CBD’s key attractions.
Just a 10-minute walk from Te Pae Christchurch you will find yourself in Hagley Park, a beautiful 407-acres of green space and gardens in the city, with a range of activities to suit everyone.
