Christchurch New Zealand 🇳🇿 More Than Just a Gateway to Mt Cook

Hello hello, welcome back to Jess Senang Travels! There's something about New Zealand's South Island that keeps drawing us back. We've visited New Zealand several times over the years, yet we never seem to get tired of its breathtaking scenery and laid-back charm. In this episode, we're spending a relaxing 3-day long weekend in Christchurch. While we skipped some of the South Island's most famous attractions such as Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo this time around, we've included some bonus footage from our 2022 South Island trip at the end of the vlog. From matcha and bakery hopping to exploring Castle Hill, Arthur's Pass National Park and a filming location of Chronicles of Narnia, join us as we discover a different side of Christchurch and the Canterbury region during late winter. We hope you enjoy travelling along with us! 📍 Some timestamps to help you skip around: 00:00 - 00:28 Intro 00:29 - 01:41 Melbourne to Christchurch Arrival 01:42 - 02:48 Riverside Market & Christchurch city 02:49 - 03:59 Italian food in Christchurch 04:00 - 07:27 Day 2 | Matcha & Bakery in Riccarton 07:28 - 08:22 Lake Lyndon 08:23 - 11:03 Castle Hill | Narnia filming location 11:04 - 13:40 Arthur's Pass National Park 13:41 - 15:05 Kea Encounter 🦜 15:06 - 15:57 Dinner at Amazonita 15:58 - 17:49 Day 3 | Matcha & Bakery in Christchurch 17:50 - 18:54 Viewpoint & New Regent Street 🚋 18:55 - 20:14 Bonus | Mt Cook & Lake Tekapo 20:15 - 20:39 Outro 🎥 Subscribe for more travel vlogs, food adventures and itinerary inspiration!
