Parking and Getting Around
Centrally located, Manawa is on several bus routes, close to cycleways, and is less than 20 mins from Christchurch Airport. Christchurch is an easy city to get around, with a compact centre and connected suburbs. Leave the car at home and consider taking public transport, or other sustainable options to move around the city.
Parking is limited and in very high demand around Manawa and the hospital. It may take you quite a while to locate an available car park so allow plenty of time when visiting Manawa.
