Christchurch Cricket Holidays & Tours

Christchurch, known for its English heritage, is located on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island.

Since the devastating earthquake the city has slowly been rebuilding a wonderful city to visit. It couldn’t be more laid back, stylish and yet dynamic all at the same time.

Flat-bottomed punts glide on the Avon River, which meanders through the city centre. On its banks are cycling paths, the green expanse of Hagley Park and Christchurch Botanic Gardens. In 2010 and 2011, earthquakes destroyed many of the historic centre’s stone-built buildings many of which are still being repaired/

From lush vineyards and wild coastlines to sky-piercing mountains and pristine glacial lakes, Canterbury is a region of remarkable contrasts and a haven for those seeking incredible scenery and adventure.

From Christchurch city, you’ll find the sparkling Pacific Ocean, the majestic Southern Alps and an ancient volcanic peninsula all within driving distance.

Things to do.....

Hagley Oval

Hagley Oval Cricket ground is a great place to watch one of the many domestic and international matches, take your rugs and fleeces, picnic chairs and plenty to eat and drink for a great day out.

Southern Alps

Journey through the Southern Alps by train, investigate the night sky in the world’s largest International Dark Sky Reserve or get up close with some of nature’s finest creatures in Kaikōura – from a boat, plane or helicopter. See a diversity of species from giant sperm whales to pilot whales, orca and humpbacks.

Hanmer Springs

Watch the steam rise amid murmurs of conversation as you sit back and relax in Hanmer Springs’ natural hot pools, explore charming townships, boutique galleries and hidden bays in Akaroa and Banks Peninsula or enjoy the delights of the North Canterbury wine region.

Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park

Take in the magical turquoise lakes, powerful glaciers and the sky-piercing alps of the Mackenzie district and Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.

Arthur’s Pass

Experience the breathtaking scenery of Arthur’s Pass on a train journey that starts in Christchurch and will have you cruising by internationally significant braided rivers and snow-fed lakes in no time.

Ride the Trams

One of the coolest things about Christchurch is the fact that trams still rattle their way through the central city. You won’t find this anywhere else in New Zealand and it makes for an interesting way to get around. It’s a hop on hop off service meaning you can explore Central Christchurch at your own pace and in some style! The trams make 16 stops around the centre city and you never have to wait too long before another one comes along.

The Cardboard Cathedral

This hastily thrown together replacement for the earthquake damaged Christchurch Cathedral isn’t entirely made of cardboard — they also used steel and wood as well as cardboard tubes. It looks interesting from the outside, with its large stain glass windows, but it was closed when I visited.

The Christchurch Gondola

For a great view over Christchurch and Banks without having to walk for hours take a trip on the Christchurch Gondola. The views from the top are great and there are some tracks up there to explore. Or you could just relax in the cafe and appreciate the views! The Bridle Path, one of Christchurch’s most iconic hiking tracks, is close by and you can save some time by taking the gondola up and then walking down to Lyttelton.

A Day Trip to Akaroa

If you only have a couple of days in Christchurch and aren’t planning on visiting Akaroa, you should reconsider! It’s only an hour and a half away and is one of the most picturesque small towns in New Zealand. There are heaps of things to do in Akaroa, including harbour cruises (where you’ll likely see Hector’s Dolphins), and drives around the scenic hills. There are lots of colonial era buildings in Akaroa and some excellent cafes and restaurants (it was founded by the French after all). It’s best to spend a couple of days there like we did recently, but if you’re short on time a day trip will do.
