Everything you need to make the most of your stay in Ōtautahi Christchurch

Getting around

Centrally located, Manawa is on several bus routes, close to cycleways, and is less than 20 mins from Christchurch Airport. Christchurch is an easy city to get around, with a compact centre and connected suburbs. Leave the car at home and consider taking public transport, or other sustainable options to move around the city.

By bus

Several city bus services stop right next to Manawa, at the Christchurch Hospital on Tuam Street and the main Bus Interchange is just a short walk away. Airport buses depart from outside door 9 at the northern end of the terminal, near the Novotel.

By car

Parking is extremely limited and in very high demand around Manawa and the hospital. It may take you quite a while to locate an available car park so allow plenty of time when visiting Manawa.
