Estelle is a sensational cafe and restaurant that sells exquisite and classic dishes to enjoy in their hip location or on the go. It is simple, fresh and very comforting. A true local gem.  

Art to the public is water to the plants. A means of survival and sustenance. The Christchurch Art Gallery is the gallery of galleries, a necessary mean to more. 

Frances Nation is the cutest cafe and deli. Whether you go to enjoy your Americano and a sweet treat outside or for a to-go pastry, sandwich, or matcha, this place never misses. This spot is also a wonderful option to visit and stock up for a picnic or a dinner party, as they are always crafting new honey, jams, breads and dips and of course, always adding more wines and ciders to their selection. 

There are plenty of shiny distractions in our digital world, but how often do we really observe? The Observatory Hotel is Christchurch's gem and your eye, the telescope.
