"Anna and the team at Kaiapoi iSite have been a huge help in planning our boxing club's trip to Christchurch – in fact it has been such a huge success that we are making it an annual trip from Taupo to Christchurch and bringing more of our club down. We had to organise flights, rental vans and accommodation in Christchurch, and also find team building activities and places to eat. This was all a bit overwhelming and being volunteers we did not have a huge amount of spare time. The Kaiapoi iSite were amazing and professional and first clarified our requirements and budget and then within a matter of days provided us with a range of options of which we booked a number including a great Christchurch hostel to sleep our group of 21, rental vans and a couple of fun activities to do. We would not have found the quality accommodation without the iSite and there is no question that our trip turned out better than expected because of the help and support the iSite gave us."

"As well as furnishing us with maps and touring suggestions, Anna gave us a lunch recommendation which was just perfect and suggested we visit the Kaiapoi museum where we spent a pleasant and informative hour. Fantastic and super helpful service."

"Earlier this year I booked an incredibly last minute trip and wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of Gwen at the Kaiapoi i-Site. In a very short timeframe, she went beyond what was necessary to help me find the best deals and helped plan a fantastic trip. She was so friendly, committed and a great communicator. Thanks so much Gwen!"

"I made a last minute decision to take a trip requiring a rental car. I didn't realize it was school holidays and that it would be challenge to get a car. Through the Kaiapoi i-Site I interacted several times with Gwen who went above and beyond to assist me in locating a car. Eventually she was able to obtain a car for me through Smash Palace in Oamaru. The car was easy to collect, in good condition, and friendly staff. I was able to leave my car there secured in the lot for the week which was a huge help. I really valued the assistance from both Gwen and Smash Palace. Thanks to both of them I was able to have an amazing holiday!"

"Fantastic, friendly, well-stocked BRAND NEW i-SITE facility, married with business centre services. The staff are long-time locals and experts on the area (as well much of NZ), and can make excellent recommendations as well as book any activities for you, at no extra cost to you. I was especially impressed with the knowledge and service orientation of the team there. We needed to scan two documents as well, and to our surprise, they offer scanning, printing, meeting room and other business services as well. Gwen, the manager, is incredibly service-oriented and a real pro. A great find in the Christchurch area, worth seeking out!"
