WELCOME… Rendezvous Hotel Christchurch is close to major attractions including Cathedral Square, Christchurch Art Gallery, Christchurch Arts Centre, Canterbury Museum, Victoria Square and the famous Christchurch Botanic Gardens. Christchurch is also the dynamic home to trendy retail precincts and boutiques. Discover the revitalised shopping precinct, The Crossing, featuring new department stores including Ballantynes and H&M alongside a flurry of buzzing bars such as Strangers Lane. Also, visit New Regent Street, steps from the hotel where you can see an exciting range of boutique businesses in a stunning heritage setting. Christchurch is a wonderful city and handy gateway to the rest of New Zealand’s beautiful South Island. If you’re planning on venturing further afield during your stay, make the most of the hotels’ on-site parking by hiring a car. There are plenty of spectacular day trips you can do in the area, including the drive to Mt Cook, along the Waipara Wine Trail or to some of the stunning locations from The Lord of the Rings.
