Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

We are in the quiet neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant, with lovely views North up the coastline to Kaikoura and West to the Southern Alps. There is an expansive network of walking and biking tracks in the nearby Port Hills. Across the road from our house you can take a steep walking track (Drayton Track) to the bottom of our hill and the Mount Pleasant Community Centre. This not for profit community owned centre operates a cafe and recreational activities, as well as outdoor markets in the summer months. From the bottom of our hill, there is a scenic cycleway along the coast to Redcliffs village and Sumner beach. Within a 5 minute drive, there is a neighbourhood shopping village at Ferrymead with a supermarket, Post Office, chemist, cafes and restaurants. There are good road networks and cycleways in to the city and beyond.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Christchurch has a vibrant city with many great restaurants, art galleries, theatre and shopping. The Avon river has recently been extensively developed to enhance the city walkways and recreation. Hagley park on the edge of the city has 165 acres of public space including sports grounds, walkways and botanic gardens. There are walking tracks in our immediate area and an extensive network of walking and mountain bike tracks in the nearby Port Hills. The lovely beach of Sumner is a 5-10 minute drive and New Brighton beach and pier, a 10-15 minute drive. Mount Hutt Ski Area is a 1.5 hour drive to the top carpark. The geothermal town of Hanmer Springs is a great town to visit for a day trip as is Akaroa. They are both a scenic 90 minute drive away. More information: https://www.christchurchnz.com
