Question

I am travelling to NZ in April, I want to go from CCH to Hamner Springs, stay there a few days and then go on to Blenheim, I want to know where I can book a bus for this?

Answer 1

There are several shuttles that run between Christchurch and Hanmer Springs. One of them operates daily out of the Cathedral Square Visitor's center (www.hanmerconnection.co.nz).

The nation-wide coach line is Intercity coach line (also operating under Newman's coach): www.intercitycoach.co.nz

You can also travel via train: www.tranzscenic.co.nz. The tranzcoastal line goes from Christchurch to Blenheim daily.

Have fun, and bring warm clothes!!
