DETAILS

Overview

Fly to

Christchurch

With panoramic views over the majestic Southern Alps, Christchurch Airport is arguably the nicest airport in New Zealand.
Things to do in Christchurch

Christchurch is a vibrant city seamlessly nestled into the world-class Port Hills. Its thriving food and beer scene perfectly complements the lush, tree-lined avenues.

Discovering the best spots requires a bit of local knowledge, so here’s our 24 hour Christchurch itinerary

Drive to

Methven

It’s a 60 min pothole-ridden drive from the Airport to Methven, but if you’ve got time, we highly recommend taking the Inland Scenic Route 72. It’s only 20 minutes longer, but it brushes along the base of the Southern Alps and through the Rakaia Gorge.
Things to do in Methven

Methven is nestled at the base of Mount Hutt. It’s a ski-town in Winter and home to hundreds of Irish bailing contractors in Summer.

See the schedule below.

Stay at

Southern Cross Lodge

We love bringing people together so we've tee'd up a deal with Gordy at Southern Cross Lodge. He's booking out the entire place JUST FOR US.

For $130 a night, you get a room, continental breakfast, pool and giant connect four! It's a classic ski lodge with all the charm and activities that comes with it.

Book today and pay when you arrive.
Play the

McDonald Masters Golf Tournament

Remember to sign up for the McDonald Masters – teeing off 1:30pm Friday.

The clubhouse is going to provide carts and refrigerate our drinks.

We’re going to need people to drive said carts, deliver said drinks and boost morale.

If you don't have clubs, they have plenty for us to borrow.

Whether you want to compete for the inaugural 9 hole championship, or hydrate our athletes, sign up here:

Wedding

The dress code for the wedding is formal.We’re talking long dresses, suits, ties/bow ties, dress shoes.

Colour wise, if you’re choosing between the silver suit you got in Thailand for your year 12 ball, or the deep-green one that makes you look like George Clooney in Oceans 11, choose the latter.

Dress like you’re going to watch polo at Cambridge. Not the ponies at Temuka. (Ryan Williams, I’ve added some photos so you can tell the difference).
