Antigua Boat Sheds - Christchurch - Photo album

Charming little cafe with window seats facing the beautiful canal. The day we visited was also the day where strong gale winds prevailed, and all outdoor activities were stopped. We settled for a carrot cake and a chai latte and they were divine. On another day with better weather, this should be on

Easy kayaking up the very shallow Avon River. Very relaxing hour spent.

Great place for kayaking ($17 to hire), the river is beautiful in all seasons. There is a friendly duck (Jimmy) that comes up to people for pets.

It’s fun to kayak and enjoy the view of the river.

We had an excellent experience today canoeing down the peaceful river Avon! Kudos to Rory from Antigua boat shed for making us laugh and sharing lots of interesting stories about the history of the building, the area and the wildlife, great costumer service and highly recommend wee activity!

A lot of activities can be done here from punting or canoeing. While enjoying the whole strecth of river with alot of ducks you can also enjoy the whole view of the city and nature at same time. With free blankets and comfy seats this will make your nostalgic ride a memorable one.

Awesome experience. Lovely on a nice spring day. Lots of nice spring gardens, flowers and baby ducks.

I didn’t want to put my feet into the spiderwebs so had to sit a bit awkwardly. Didn’t see a spider thankfully b

The Antigua Boat Sheds are probably the first place I ever had a coffee in Christchurch. You can just relax and take in the magical area or hire a kayak to explore the river. Across the river, there’s now another special spot to sit and enjoy the river - a giant mōkihi (raft) sculpture. With the reb
