Visitor's Guide to Christchurch & Canterbury

The site uses a simple frameset with straightforward text navigation and is easy to get around. A broad range of information is covered with good images which are relevant to the textual content. There's a bit of scrolling down to do, which might be alleviated by further categorisation , but at least pages are a small byte size and quick to load. A search facility might be a useful addition as this would allow faster access to information. A small criticism is that on most pages, only the local telephone numbers are provided, without either international or national prefixes. Also, where prices are given, there is no indication whether they are in $NZ. These matters aside, this is a very good regional site, and provides visitors to Christchurch and Canterbury with excellent information about what to see and do.
