1. Drive out to She Cafe in Governor's Bay to sample one of their many fantastic chocolate drinks, and soak up the amazing views of the harbour from their outside deck setting... very romantic!
2. Take a stroll through Mona Vale Gardens while the daffodils are in full bloom and enjoy Devonshire Tea at the Mona Vale Homestead... this is a great ladies treat!
3. Take the ferry from Lyttelton to Diamond Harbour and enjoy a long cold beer at the historic Godley House. Enjoy great views of the harbour out on the lawn.
3. Meander around the Canterbury Farmers' Markets at the historic Riccarton House on Saturday mornings. There is always live music, great food and a humming atmosphere. This is a wonderful place to catch up with friends and family. If you feel like being environmentally friendly, you could join the Christchurch Bike Tour and cycle out to the markets and back.

The magnificent Otahuna Lodge will open its doors to thousands of visitors for Daffodil Day to showcase its stunning gardens and raise money for the New Zealand Cancer Society. The tradition that began 82 years ago at New Zealand's largest historic property has been revived to celebrate the magic of these extraordinary gardens in spring and provide the public with a sneak-peek of the grounds of the luxury seven-suite lodge.
Otahuna Lodge will open on Sunday, September 12 from 10am to 4pm. Tickets are NZ$15 for adults and $5 for children (cash only) at the gate. A donation will be made to the NZ Cancer Society from the sale of every ticket. The 2009 Daffodil Day event raised more than $12000 for the Society.

The biggest Pavlova in the world was made in Christchurch this morning. Ten thousand eggs, 600kg of sugar and 250 litres of cream went into the effort! Yum!
You can sample New Zealand's favourite pudding on the Christchurch Gourmet Bike Tour or the Christchurch Gourmet Walking Tour.
