Serviced Apartments Christchurch, South Island
What’s on in Christchurch
Christchurch is a truly unique destination. With a modern and thriving city centre, combined with a heritage, culture and a multicultural populace, the city has an atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. With a burgeoning tourist industry, vibrant arts scene and an underlying connection to its English roots, Christchurch is fast becoming one of New Zealand’s top tourist destinations.
Where to stay in Christchurch
Many of Christchurch’s hotels and hostels were rebuilt following an earthquake in 2011. The city therefore offers many modern places to stay, purpose built in the most popular districts. However, if you are planning an extended stay in Christchurch - perhaps on a business trip - then serviced apartments can offer many of the benefits of traditional accommodation, such as room cleaning and reception, whilst also affording you the added privacy and convenience of your own home-from-home. Whether you are seeking a small studio, or luxury city apartment, the Squa.re can match you with the perfect property for your visit.

Tips for staying in Christchurch
Places to eat
Christchurch has a huge concentration of great restaurants in the city centre - ranging from experimental New Zealand dishes to international cuisine. Twenty Seven Steps on New Regent street is one of the most popular restaurants in the area, serving modern European dishes with a modern twist. There’s also Chillingworth Road restaurant, which serves contemporary New Zealand dishes in a sophisticated setting.
Shopping
The Palms, which straddles Corner Marshland and New Brighton Roads is one of the city’s best places to shop, housing several high street brands under one roof - including leading fashion labels and tech stores. A little further from the centre is Westfield Riccarton, which is a modern shopping mall housing numerous retailers and goods providers, as well as several cafes and eateries.
Attractions
Christchurch is often seen as the hub from which to explore the Canterbury region, with several great excursions available, such as Orana wildlife park and Korowai-Torlesse Tussocklands Park. However, the city also has its fair share of cultural attractions, including Canterbury Museum and Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu - which showcases contemporary and indigenous art.
Transport
Like much of New Zealand, Christchurch has limited public transport. There are no trains or metro services, so those wishing to travel around using public transport are limited to the bus routes that run across the city and to the surrounding areas. Therefore, if you are looking to further explore the island, then it is advisable to hire your own transport upon arrival.
Local Business
As the south island’s largest city, Christchurch has numerous businesses and organisations operating locally. Financial services are represented by firms such as AMI insurance and the Bank of New Zealand. Manufacturing also plays a key role in the local economy, with MWH New Zealand, Phototec Industries and Tait Electronics all operating in the city.
