The beautifully restored homestead and grounds, as well as the protected native bush are at the heart of the Christchurch visitor experience and only a short distance from the central city.
You can wander at your leisure through the gardens or take time-out to experience the uniqueness of Pūtaringamotu/Riccarton Bush where 600-year-old Kahikatea trees are standing strong.
Book a guided tour of Riccarton House to hear the tales, tragedy and triumphs of the Deans family as they established themselves at Riccarton Farm. Bookings online: riccartonhouse.co.nz
