CHRISTCHURCH Travel Guide: City and Snow!

#TravelWell in Christchurch with THIS epic guide!

You guys rock . Christchurch , the art scene, the food scene. and ski scene. Matt and Phoebe on the slopes. The perfect package , What more could you ask for.

[@travelforphoebe]

hahaha yep!! We had so much fun getting back up to the ski fields in this one and Mt Hutt is just awesome. It felt good to finally connect with Christchurch too - made me want to spend a bit more time on our next visit :) Thanks for watching! Hope you are having a great start to the new week. Phoebe xx

[@AvyayOjhaFanClub]

Yeah... 😄😄😌😌

[@wholiveswhere]

I grew up in Christchurch and the minute I left late 2000's knew I never wanted to come back and been living and working abroad in Africa, Europe and now Asia where am permanently. The way you showcase the city makes even me want to come back! Great video - there is much to like about this city again, even if the recovery is so painfully slooooooow. Things are progressing, and a great hop off for tourists to spend a few days. Christchurch is the gateway to the magic of the South Island, without doubt - and much is available locally outside the Queenstown tourist hub. Love the video.

[@travelforphoebe]

hahahaha thank you so much for watching! Love that it made you want to come back :)

[@zahraebrahimi5302]

The Ski part was heart/soul/mind blowing. It literally refereshed me for a minute, threw me into another world. Cool visual effect on that part as well.

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh - THANK YOU!!! I'm so happy it took you out of reality and off on a little adventure for a moment :) Thanks for watching. Phoebe x

[@FelixCattenstart]

The street art looks gorgeous, especially the penguin 🐧. The weather is like Melbourne or The Netherlands: 4 seasons in one day 🌦. That evening walk is beautiful, reminds me of Kangaroo Point in Brissie. Even driving is a gift over there with the scenery around 🏞. Oh and by the way, I booked my first trip by air since Australia in January 2020. I'm going to Tenerife in October 2021, so happy to finally travel again 😁! Thank you for sharing and have a great week ahead 🤙

[@travelforphoebe]

YESSSSS! So excited for you to travel again, Felix :) You must be BUZZING! Thanks for watching this one :) and such a good point - it really does look like Kangaroo Point. P x

[@mylahbarreto5265]

Ooh, so many places I recognize from my solo travels back in 2017. So glad you’re both enjoying the area!

[@travelforphoebe]

Yessss!! So happy these vids are bringing back the memories 😍♥️

[@ouradventerousdays]

Chrischurch has changed so much since we last visited. So many new food and that halumi cheese in your burger 😋😋😋

[@travelforphoebe]

Yesss! I felt the same way - my last visit was a long time ago and it has grown so much since then. It's so good to see, the city truly deserves it. Phoebe x

[@ouradventerousdays]

@@travelforphoebe yes. First time we were there was 2012 a year after the earthquake and it took them a very long time to rebuilding everything. Our last time was 5years ago. We are so keen to coming back in couple years time ❤

Great job and lovely to see my city through your eyes. Hope you are safe and well, tucked up somewhere nice and not too disturbed by lockdown.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so much :) We're back home in Australia (we filmed our NZ series over 3 1/2 weeks while the bubble was open! So grateful we were able to visit before it closed again!)

[@nikiTricoteuse]

@@travelforphoebe Glad you got here and back again while it was open. Not looking good for us at the moment, as of this afternoon we're up to 148 cases. Frightening how fast it spreads. Hope you're somewhere safe in Aus. 🙂

Thank you, thank you, thank you for these great recommendations! You made our layover trip to Christchurch perfect! Riverside is something I wish my hometown had (and that Dosa was indeed excellent). Unknown Chapter had great coffee (according to Erin…good hot chocolate for me!). And the Tramway is the best way to see the city. It was fascinating to see how much the city has progressed even in the short time from with this was made. Thank you again, Phoebe!

[@94vrcommodore]

I was in Christchurch 4 years and looks like it’s transformed even more. I did skiing for the very first time and went to Porters. Any beginner slopes at Mount Hutt?

[@travelforphoebe]

Yes! Absolutely! Christchurch has grown so much over the last few years - I think we were there roughly 3 years ago and it has just changed so much since then. Yep, there are some great green runs at Mount Hutt, it's a really friendly ski field :) Phoebe x

[@94vrcommodore]

Christchurch hardly any business left in Christchurch.

[@Battleneter]

No at all true, many businesses fled to suburban business parks etc after the 2011 Earthquakes., but its clear they are slowly returning to the CBD over time.

[@RenaWith]

How much was the burger $50? 🤭 Bring a lot of money is what I mean... everything is overpriced everywhere.😑

bahahaha so true! NZ is definitely not a budget spot compared to places like Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam :) So gorgeous though, I'm glad I got to do a big road trip! It's a trip I'll treasure forever. Phoebe x
