Riccarton House & Bush

Beautiful setting so close to town. Immaculately presented and such a beautiful spot for a wedding.

Nice place to visit if you're interested in learning a little bit about Christchurch and the history around Riccarton, as well for going for a walk and enjoying the gardens and bush and the birdsong. The house is wonderful and the gardens and trees are gorgeous. The little walk in the bush is great, feels like you're not even in the city any more, and a nice place to enjoy the shade and out of the sun. Great to visit if you're new to CHCH.

I often come down here on the weekends for the farmers market. I love how buzzing everyone is and the wide range of people you see. It's also a lovely spot for a picnic when the market isn't on followed by a walk through the bush. So peaceful considering it's in the middle of a busy suburb

Beautiful surrounds let down by poor service and horrendous wait times (over an hour for the soup!)

They have a neat wee forest board walk. Great for kids and toddlers. Love the weekend markets. Such great ambience and very high quality vendors.
