4WD nature tour with Mark
"The honour of sharing the Southern Alps with its vast valleys, rivers and ever changing moods? Well, you can hardly call it a job", Mark's response when asked to described his work. Mark was born and raised on a sheep, deer and crop farm in the Canterbury region outside Christchurch. He began experiencing the Southern Alps and Canterbury high country as a child on family 'Sunday drives'. These turned into more "manly" adventures as a teenager when he and his father went on hiking and four-wheel-drive trips, sometimes staying overnight in old Musterer's huts in the middle of nowhere. "But the stars kept you company at night".
The highlights of Christchurch with Tony and Maree
Tony and Maree have been operating their Christchurch bed and breakfast, art gallery and guiding business in Christchurch for many years. They are passionate about the unique history, gardens and culture of this city. They both grew up in Christchurch, were educated there, and enjoy sharing their detailed knowledge in a most entertaining manner. Maree has had experience as an art gallery director for over 25 years, and is regularly called upon by the art establishment for marketing advice, valuations, lectures to art groups, as well as historical and biographical consultation on New Zealand's foremost artists. Tony has drawn together the most popular features of all of his touring experience and has combined it with Maree's art knowledge so together they can offer the ultimate Christchurch region art, garden and sights day trip.
This beautifully preserved heritage house is furnished in classic Victorian style, complete with a superb collection of fine art and antiques, but at the same time offers guests every modern convenience, including complimentary in-room wireless and broadband internet.
Uniquely situated in Worcester Boulevard across the road from the Arts centre, Botanic gardens and five minutes walk to Cathedral Square. Personalised tours & wine trails are a specialty.
