Space Academy
CBD, Christchurch
Hightlights
One of the best live music venues Ōtautahi has to offer. Keep an ear out at this place for music of the indie, rock, experimental and lo-fi persuasion.
There's no need to travel across the galaxies to find rad things to do. Just stop by here every now and then for what Dr Hitchcock recommends 😉

This is the raddest little bike shop in town.
Ken and Charlotte are super nice and they have a wide range of both electric and non-electric bikes. They also hire them out.
Prima Roastery
Sydenham, Christchurch
Hightlights
This is a great wee roastery with the nicest crew in town. They're environmentally conscious, have some of the best cheese scones in town and easily take first place for the best music in any cafe in Otāutahi. The only downside is that they're not open on the weekends, but for all their hard work they certainly deserve a break.
