New Zealand is a paradise for the eyes. The vast region and the funky outdoors offer lots of “eye-delights” to keep you busy. The historians, shopaholics and the adventure lovers all have lots to say. The blissful ocean stretch and the vast Alps looming can make the plain and peak amalgam spectacular. Enjoy the varied innumerable attractions, stately parks, and breath taking landscapes are a balm for the turbulent senses. Come relax in the Gateway to Canterbury- the gorgeous and enormous Christchurch in New Zealand.
1) Cashel Mall:
Cashel Mall, it is people! A shopping paradise created out innovatively placed shipping containers. This village project has cafes, speciality gift stores, fashion retail outlets, and so many more attractions to purchase.
2) Arthur’s Pass:
Christchurch is said to be the gateway to New Zealand’s Canterbury. You can see the top-notch botanic gardens, splendid parks and remarkable rivers. Then you can board The TransAlpine Express that takes you to Arthur Pass and in this way you can wallow in one of the most exquisite train journeys possible.
Arthur Pass was discovered by Arthur Dudley Dobson and it is the highest Pass that runs over the Southern Alps.
3) National Park:
Arthur’s Pass National Park has vast beech forests and wide spread shingle-filled river beds. The dense forests and the deeply gorged rivers looking towards the glaciers, scree slopes and snow-covered peaks, can leave the visitor’s spell bound. Reach the National Park by road and watch out for the water falls, rock shelters, viaducts and bridges.
Just climb onto the TranzAlpine Train and experience the beauty of Alpine Pass and Arthur’s Park National Park and native forests. If the greens tire you, munch a bite at the cozy café offering foodie delights.
4) Hot pools:
This is going to be a novel experience for recreation and relaxation. Five inviting pools with hot water are a class apart. The hot pools have crystal clear water that is a result of the alpine springs. These hot pools have water heated with the help of recyclable energy, and are lying adjoined to each other. They stare back at the mountains and lakes spread out in the surroundings. In winters, the hot pools are an amazing sight because of the white snow spread out around them.
5) Bottle Lake Forest Park:
This is the ideal kids’ paradise. You can walk the lush tracks in delight; go for fantastic forest bike trails in the mountains and lie back to enjoy the golden sandy beaches. Other activities like a mountain bike terrain park, adventure playground, recreation areas, paddling pools, tennis courts, flying fox, sandy volleyball fun, Barbeque Pits, and so many more activities are there to keep the kids occupied. The Pegasus Bay Track, Spencer Park and New Brighton’s North shore are all the regions that need to be visited for an “eye-balming” experience. The young mothers can easily roll their baby buggies along the flat track. Get ready to savour a world of craziness and a maze of fun.
