Christchurch has a distinctly English-feel about it and has a real feeling of space, with many grassed areas, parks and plenty to see and do. It is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand, and is situated on the East Coast. Although it was victim to an earthquake in February 2011, Auckland is quickly rebuilding and regenerating itself with new businesses and attractions opening up again every day. Getting about is easy in Christchurch whether by foot, car or the city’s efficient bus service.

Description
The pretty river Avon which runs through the city is perfect for a stroll along the river banks or you could hire a punt and try your hand at gliding along it. There are many restaurants on the banks of the river for you to stop and enjoy a peaceful lunch.
For a spot of retail therapy, try the City Mall with its diverse shops, boutiques and pedestrianised areas. The Mall is particularly buzzing at weekends when market stallers set up shop and sell local arts and craft.
If you’re a wildlife fan, you should visit Orana Wildlife Park, which is New Zealand’s largest animal reserve and home to over 400 animals, including New Zealand’s national emblem, the mammal-like kiwi bird. The Willowbank Wildlife Reserve is a great place for children to get up close to the animals and feed and pet them. Another great wildlife attraction is the International Antarctic Centre where you can watch the penguins feeding, enjoy a 4D snow and experience a snow storm!

Matt really helped with our booking. Nothing was too much trouble. Every time we changed our mind (which was quite a few) he rearranged the plans and got back to us promptly. I will definitely use this company again.

Have just booked with eShores for the second time. Gavin planned a three week Caribbean Island hopping trip earlier this year which was fantastic and very well organised. We decided to do the same thing again and look forward to our next trip in January. Would definitely recommend this company and use them again.

Eshore’s are an excellent company I can’t praise them enough, especially Adam who has been amazing. He was really patient as I’m indecisive and changed my mind several times. He persevered and found us a dream holiday and put together great itinerary covering every aspect of our journey . Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel the trip and Adam went above and beyond to recoup as much as possible for us. It was a huge help & felt very personal as if he were a friend. We have rescheduled the holiday & will use Eshores for all future trips’

I had never heard of eshores till I decided to plan a multi-stop holiday in Turkey some weeks ago. The decision to use eshores was based on a quick internet search for any help I could get with this. So, i wasnt really expecting much. As the planning was at relatively short notice...and we had never travelled to Turkey, I was pleasantly surprised at the support I had from Rachel at eshores who listened to what I wanted and was patient to go back and forth with me till I had the exact holiday I wanted (Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya). I always had a response with every query(and I had quite a few!!). The travel itself worked like a dream...both international and domestic flights were straightforward, but even more surprising was how reliable the multiple taxis to and fro airports were, even when picking up at 0330!! Overall, the experience has been very positive and I would be very happy to use the service again

To be honest, I had not used eShores before, however, after arranging our holiday plans with Michelle, I will certainly be back. Very helpful and knowledgeable and we are delighted with the advice received and all the travel arrangements, choice of hotels and flight times. Thank you so much.
