Located at 241 and 243 Gloucester Street near Latimer Square, the planned site will offer 25 powered parking spaces, along with bathroom and laundry facilities, ensuring a comfortable and well-located stopover for people in Christchurch. For Road Runner Rentals’ customers, this development presents an excellent opportunity to stay within walking distance of Christchurch’s top attractions and amenities without the need to park on the city’s outskirts.

Travellers will find it an ideal base for exploring popular spots such as the Botanical Gardens, The Terrace (trendy local night life spot, with cosmopolitan restaurants and bars overlooking the Avon River), Riverside Market (super spot for lunch), The Arts Centre, Chch Art Gallery, and an array of unique shopping venues including the iconic department store, Ballantynes and New Regent St, a quirky Art Deco lane of boutique shops. It is also two blocks from the city’s new stadium, still under construction.

The planned campervan park is also very handy to the Margaret Mahy Playground, Theatre Royal (stunning historic theatre which also hosts musicals) and The Piano, a modern venue that hosts a range of local and visiting musicians.

The developer aims to address the current lack of central city accommodation specifically for self-contained vehicles, creating a convenient and eco-friendly stopover that encourages tourists to stay in Christchurch rather than bypass it.

“With this new campervan park right in the city centre, you can say goodbye to the hassle of commuting from the suburbs, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the unique city life Christchurch has to offer,” says Randall Diggs, owner of Road Runner Rentals. “It’s a fantastic way for travellers to truly experience Christchurch’s vibrant attractions and culture without worrying about where to park or how far out you’ll be staying.”
