What a great place to stay!! Cute and cosy cottages with so much privacy it hardly feels like you’re at a motel! The biggest positive of them all; allowed us to bring our dog for the stay - think he may have loved it more than us!! Thanks so much guys; will definitely be back soon 😋😋

To all Coasters, this is a rare gem in Chch. Parents in one cottage. Teenage daughter and dog in there own cottage. Native gardens, private, spacious and such value for money. Kiwi owned, which is lovely. Best place to stay in chch for those who dont like the city, a home away from home. 10 out of 10. A city sanctuary. Thank you.

15 Feb 2025Apollo Stadium - rugby game
We went to Apollo Projects Stadium last night for the Crusaders vs Hurricanes game, and it was a great night out. The atmosphere was lively, with fans cheering and a real sense of excitement in the air. The stadium isn’t the largest, but it does a great job of bringing people together for an enjoyable evening of sports and entertainment. From the moment we arrived, there was a good buzz among the crowd. The lights were bright, and anticipation for the game built steadily. Every play was met with plenty of support, and the shared enthusiasm among the fans added to the experience. The noise level was impressive, with chants and cheers carrying through the stadium. Even during quieter moments, there was a strong sense of camaraderie among those attending. The covered stands helped maintain the atmosphere and kept everyone engaged. After the game, people lingered in the area, chatting about the highlights and reflecting on the match. Apollo Projects Stadium has been a reliable venue, and while many are looking forward to the new Te Kaha stadium, nights like this show how much people appreciate a good game and a great crowd.
