Ahaura Hotel
Bar & grill
👍👍 We've stayed in many places all around the world, but take some time to support small places like the Ahaura Hotel. We flew into Christchurch at 11:40pm last night, slept at Jucy Snooze, then early flight home to Nelson this morning. Unpacked, repacked and headed to Ahaura to drop our daughter off...

👍👍 Full marks! The best burger in town, by a country mile. I really enjoyed it. The service was beautiful, and the banter acceptable. The decor is not the only unusual feature of this place. So if you want something classy and a little different- this is the one.

Manly Bar & Grill

👍👍 They make their own pizza bases, and don't put on too much cheese, so you can taste the flavours of all the toppings. The ribs are done really well, and were able to cook the coleslaw for me. The fries portion could be a bit larger. Wait times are reasonable, and it was nice that they bought out all...
