Garden city

Christchurch, the South Island’s largest city, has emerged from the devastating 2011 earthquakes rebuilt and reinvigorated but has managed to retain much of its heritage charm. It is also the perfect base for exploring the rest of the amazing South Island – and I know I am biased!

ABOUT

A bit about me…

Hi, I’m Shelly. Wherever shall we go now? is for grown-up adventurers who like their trips with humour, many delicious things to eat and a glass of wine. I’m not here to scale mountains or live out of a backpack, I’m here for the kind of adventures that make you feel good, spark a story, and remind you that now is the perfect time to recalibrate a little and get back to a few things I’ve never really outgrown.
