Welcome to Christchurch #RespectProtectEnjoy

Welcome to Christchurch. A beautiful town steeped in history on our wonderful stretch of coastline.

As we all know, our one true love is to celebrate our uniquely beautiful part of the world, but in these strange times we continue to ask that you take all the necessary precautions ahead of your visit. Safety is paramount to us, to you and to your loved ones.

We know that following the updated guidance from the government allowing wider access to outdoor spaces, many of you will be keen to get outside and visit Christchurch. As of 4 July we are open for visitors once more and urge everyone to RESPECT, PROTECT and ENJOY our beautiful resort.

Respect our beaches, respect our local communities, the wildlife and any specific guidelines that have been put in place.

Protect yourself and others, protect our local open spaces and beaches and protect the environment by travelling sustainably and staying local.

Enjoy getting off the beaten track, enjoy our beautiful beaches safely and enjoy supporting our local businesses.

Visit our What's Open page for the most up to date information from our attractions and activities.

If you are holding off from getting outside for now, or are self-isolating and unable to leave your home, we’re totally committed to bringing the very best of Christchurch to you virtually. Check out our website where we have loads of information about enjoying Christchurch and surrounding area from home or follow our social channels:

Now more than ever we must support the amazing local businesses that make up our community. Some of our attraction & activity, restaurant and accommodation partners are undergoing changes to their business to ensure they are compliant with the latest safety guidelines; you can still purchase gift vouchers or experience vouchers. Make sure to check back regularly for updates. This not only shows great support in this difficult time but it also makes a fantastic present or gift with something to look forward to in the future.

We will always be the Coast with the Most and we are ready to welcome you to Christchurch with open arms from 4 July.
