Unique old building (survived our earthquakes).Very friendly atmosphere with old tables, chairs and everything else old including the teaspoons! It's very popular for its great coffee and food and also has a small Trade-Aid shop on the premises. you can also buy fresh coffee beans and ground coffee to take home. Parking is at the back of the building but I personally would like to see more parking available. It's not always easy to get a park because it's so popular.

Shopping

A very unique boutique shopping centre with good cafes, restaurant and bakery. Also take a walk along The Boardwalk outside the main Tannery building to other unique shops. You will not find your usual shops at The Tannery. Just a short 10 minute drive from our property. its well worth a look. The building is an old tannery (leather works) which has been extensively renovated to the very unique building it is today. Well worth a visit on a rainy day.

Tuesday night is the 'Jameson's Irish Band' night. (You even get to sing-a-long and dance if you want to.) We have taken many of our guests there. Well known for it's Irish drinks and wonderful Irish atmosphere! They have a restaurant which serves very good Irish and other food. You can book a table in advance and eat while the band is entertaining you. A real 'must visit' if in Christchurch on a Tuesday night. They also have another Irish band (Black Velvet) playing on Sunday in the afternoon.
