As of early Nov there was another change allowing cruisers to get free shuttle from ship to Lyttelton and on Royal Princess 7th Nov think the cost to Christchurch was $15 per person.
Try Crows Nest short bus ride away with loads of places to eat there. Bus 115 from station takes you to Willoughby Road which had plenty to choose from. Or 20 mins walk or quick uber/taxi.
Bit sad we can't get dropped off at Lyttelton as had great walk there last Dec and was looking forward to doing a different one this time before stocking up on more NZ honey and chocolate. So not sure if we'll head to Christchurch. Understand about local bus issues but they don't visitors at all?
Apologies but after several attempts at searching the forum and not getting anywhere..thought I would come to the fount of wisdom.
What is the current cost in Australia of Sanctuary access. Know other charges have increased.
Many thanks.
