Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Stuck for ideas about how to treat your special someone? We’ve got some great ideas for spending Valentine’s Day in Christchurch:
Tramway Restaurant – offering a unique dining experience in a cosy environment perfect for date nights, dinner on the Tramway Restaurant is sure to be a hit. The late service is fully booked but there are still tables available for the early service – be in quick to book!
Punting on the Avon – it’s hard to find something more romantic than Punting down the Avon River! Book a 45-minute private tour (the standard 30-minute tours are all shared rides, so make sure you request a private one) and bring along some nibbles to share on board.
Picnicking – picnics are super romantic on a sunny day! Pack a basket and find a cosy spot in the Botanic Gardens, Mona Vale Gardens, on a riverbank – or even head to the top of the Gondola or Godley Head for a picnic with a view!
Adrenaline-filled fun – looking for something a bit more action-packed? Head up to Hanmer Springs Attractions and choose from jet boating, bungy jumping, quad biking, rafting and more for awesome activities that will get your hearts pumping. Pop along to soak in the thermal pools or book in for a couple’s massage at The Spa to make a day of it.
