Welcome to Indulge Christchurch!

I hope you realise just how lucky you are to be in this wonderful little city of ours. If I could give Christchurch a big old bear hug, I sure would. Whether you’re a local or fortunate enough to be paying a visit, it’s my mission to give you the inside word on what makes this stunner of a city such a fantastic place to live, work and play. Get out there and discover all of its hidden gems – not so hidden now you’ve got me on side! Grrr!

It’s easy to get complacent about what’s on your doorstep, but the shopping in Christchurch is truly world class! I just love hitting the high streets and lanes in search of the latest must-have and when it comes time for a bit of R & R after a hard day’s shopping, Mother Bear and I like nothing better than indulging in a beauty treatment or a fresh new look from an award-winning hair stylist. And if we simply have to get away from it all, a mini break at one of Canterbury’s boutique bed and breakfast establishments or luxury homestays is just the thing!

I’ve tracked down the best stuff on offer, the hippest clubs and hangouts, and the places serving the tastiest fare before putting this guide together just for you! All you have to do is keep it handy at all times! So go forth and exercise all of your senses with a fresh look at your very own, very indulgent, little city.
