Christchurch Arts Centre
3.5/5
If you like art I think this is a great place to go.
If you are not really in to art, but you want to do something different than nature and don't want to pay a dollar: this is your spot. We went there for 30 minutes and that was quite fine.
For the moms who breastfeed and don't want to feed in public: they have a great private area. Clean, spacious and with relaxing chairs. And you can lock the door if you want to.

Christchurch Botanic Gardens
4.5/5
Great place with an even better playground.
From toddlers to 12 years. Great place. You can visit the gardens even in bad weather. Some are inside and very warm. But still..... you need to love nature. If you don't, spend your time somewhere else.

Kawatiri Beach Reserve – Westport
2.5/5
Not the spot we expected.
And be very careful. The sand on the opposite site of the entrance is very very soft. You get stuck! So park on the entrance side of the camping spot.

Lake Mahinapua Campsite
3.5/5
If you have the pass, it's value for money.
But if you don't: skip this campsite. It is wet, uneven (OK for a van, not OK for a tent) and there is no shower. Only the possibility to hang a solar shower. The showers are pretty clean, and enough clean water. Nice environment, couple of very easy walks. But nothing special. Good for $8. Not good enough for $13.

Punakaiki Beach Camp
4.0/5
This would be a 10 if the showers are better.
The temperature is not constant. And there is way too much power. Not nice if you have a toddler with you. The toilets (m) smell a bit bad. Maybe new toilet seats will help? They are more yellow than white.
The location is great. And the campsite itself is great too. Spacious sites and a lot of grass. We would stay here again!

Rawene Holiday Park
3.0/5
Beautiful place and kind owners.
But small places. Shower is good, but also.. so small! You can't put on your clothes with a closed curtain. Shower curtain showers aren't the most comfy showers. We think it is too expensive $40 for two persons and a powered site.

Good place to stay.
Flat parking, lots of grass and not next to the road. Perfect and free place.

Uretiti Beach Campsite

Perfect place to stay!
Lovely lady. Near the beach. Shower and toilet facilities are clean, but a bit old. We paid $28 for two persons without power.
