A Great Cinema Experience in Christchurch

The Metro Gold on Worchester Street is a great place to experience a Movie.... My husband and I treated ourselves in the weekend and went to see the New Zealand made movie "Boy". We enjoyed our big comfy seats, great coffee from the Lyttelton Coffee Company, fine wine and some salty peanuts....

There are three theatres, each is unique and décor is modelled on the grand picture palaces, all fitted with the latest cinema systems, all with luxurious armchairs, and all offering top quality films in a sophisticated relaxing environment.

We will definitely going back to the Metro Gold for another movie experience soon...

The Original two-hour bike tour is a great way for rugby goer's to get their bearings on Christchurch city during the Rugby World Cup. The tour also covers a few historical rugby interest sites along the way.

Christ's College:
There are records showing that Christ's College had rugby games on their grounds next to the Botanic Gardens in the early 1850's (although the first official rugby game in NZ was recorded in Nelson in 1870). The tour passes these grounds. This is also where Robbie Deans went to school and many past All Blacks.

Dean's Cottage:
The bike tour spends 20-minutes exploring Deans Cottage, Riccarton House and Riccarton Bush, where Wallabies coach, Robbie Deans' ancestors set up life in New Zealand in the 1840's.

What a great way to cover christchurchs' rugby and city highlights!
