EAT<br />
Hardy St Eatery: For a quick and deliciously inventive<br />
breakfast in a beautiful space, and killer coffee.<br />
SHOP<br />
Palm Boutique: Owned by Hannah Parker, Palm is<br />
where we stock and has the perfect roll call of New<br />
Zealand designers, as well as some unique international<br />
brands like Baum und Pferdgarten and Ilse Jacobsen.<br />
Christchurch<br />
EAT<br />
Earl: I’ve spent many a sales trip having a solo lunch or<br />
dinner here – their pasta is second to none and I’ve<br />
even dashed in for a quick salad (and Sav) to balance<br />
out all the carby road trip food.<br />
Londo: This small, perfectly formed restaurant is not<br />
to be missed. The peach, stracciatella, finocchiona and<br />
oregano dish last time I was there was life-changing.<br />
Smash Palace: A trip to Christchurch wouldn’t be<br />
complete without a drink here. Super unpretentious<br />
vibe that attracts everyone from art kids to craft<br />
beer aficionados – there’s nothing better than<br />
huddling around a heater and eating one of their<br />
incredible burgers.<br />
Child Sister: I don’t feel like I’ve been to Christchurch<br />
if I haven’t squeezed in a breakfast here – I love the<br />
bustly energy and LOVE the ‘shrooms’ and the kimchi<br />
rice omelette.<br />
STAY<br />
The Muse Christchurch Hotel: You can’t beat the<br />
location, the price and the sleek and well-designed<br />
rooms – also, it has a rooftop bar, what’s not to love?<br />
SHOP<br />
Plume: Is home to Jimmy D in Christchurch – seeing<br />
it sitting next to labels like Comme des Garcons,<br />
Rick Owens and Dries Van Noten is a little pinch-me<br />
moment every time.
