tip Local Tip

When you stay Rydges, you stay local, and there’s nothing quite like a truly local experience.

When visiting Christchurch, make sure you take the time to head north to Waipara and check out the local wines Canterbury has to offer. One of my favourite day trips is to head into Black Estate Winery for a light lunch and wine flight with the family. Only 50 minutes from the hotel, you can either make a day of it by exploring the other wineries on offer in the region or just spend the time at Black Estate before leisurely driving back into the city.

Be sure to tag us on social media @rydgeshotels to share your local experiences with us.

Welcome to Ōtautahi Christchurch, a city reimagined. This urban hub at the heart of the scenic South Island, is filled with colourful street art, diverse visitor attractions, vibrant hospitality from passionate local food producers, serene botanic gardens, and spaces to play in every direction you look.

Rydges Latimer Christchurch is located just moments away from picturesque Latimer Square. Explore the city by heritage tram, foot, or bike. View tranquil gardens, and ever-changing seasonal colours while cruising along the Avon River on a punt.

Head to Willowbank Wildlife Reserve, where guests can encounter a variety of unique New Zealand wildlife – from the iconic Kiwi and mischievous Kea to the ancient Tuatara and lively Kaka birds, alongside the rare Takahe for unforgettable photo opportunities.

Venture to Riverside Market to explore local produce set in a vibrant atmosphere. Don’t miss out on visiting the International Antarctic Centre for an immersive journey into an entirely different world. Experience the wonders of Antarctica with snow, ice, and penguins right here in Christchurch – a truly extraordinary adventure without leaving our city limits.
