Gondola - Governors Bay

Spectacular views over Christchurch and surrounds. It is very easy to get to from Central Christchurch using bus no. 8, which stops directly at the gondola ticket office. The Cafe and gift shop at the top are reasonably priced, and the cafe affords great views either towards christchurch or Lyttleton. Well worth a visit for solo travellers, couples, or families.

Stunning views of Christchurch. Reasonably priced cafe and gift shop. My boys loved it. Recommend getting the year pass especially if you live in Chch. The line was so long to get on and off thou. They need to combine groups so they can share Gondolas. Letting one person on a Gondola by themselves made the wait times so long hard with young kids

Great spot indeed, worth a visit regardless of the weather. We felt the tracks could do with some work, they're ok for mountain goat types, but for those that struggle with balance and mobility be careful, especially when damp underfoot, rounded rocks on the path will be slippery.

Loved it n my kids especially enjoyed it. The weather was beautiful n calm as you can see the beautiful blue sky. These are the memories that will last forever. Overall the staff were amazing n it was a unforgettable n a fantastic experience.

A must do in Christchurch! Amazing views from the top. Lots of tracks/trails if you want to hike. If you like sheep, take a walk and you can mingle with many. Easy drive from CBD and free parking. Enjoy!
