Previously this historic venue operated as a restaurant and function centre.

The 5.5 hectares of gardens, remain one of Christchurch's best loved wedding venues. The Mona Vale Iris Lawn is ideal for ceremonies with a marquee set for the reception. This is one of the most pictuesque gardens for wedding photography. Backdrops of the Avon River, bridges, established trees, rolling lawns and flower beds provide beautiful romantic settings. Gardens and landscaped lawns gently rolling down to the Avon River feature significant plantings of large exotic or Northern Hemisphere trees, a Rose garden and 100-year-old Fernery as well as herbaceous perennials and beds of annuals. The Iris Lawn marquee, provides an option for company picnics and christmas functions.
Unlimited Paenga Tawhiti

Unlimited Paenga Tawhiti

Unlimited Paenga Tawhiti is a state secondary school originally located in the city centre of Christchurch, New Zealand. The 2011 Christchurch earthquake displaced the school and the closely associated primary school Discovery 1 to Aidanfield. In 2013, UPT will move to Ilam, and it hopes to be back in the central city by 2015. UPT and Discovery 1 are subject to a merger proposal by the Ministry of Education.HistoryIt was established in 2003 by the Christchurch-based Learning Discovery Trust, which had earlier set up the primary Discovery 1 School, and is one of just eleven schools running under the "Designated Special Character" criteria of the Education Act 1989, Section 156: "...The special character of schools established under this section is not specified in the Act, and parents may propose any desirable special character as long as no other local school is already delivering an education reflecting the same special character...". This special character element is similar in some respects to the charter school system in the United States.The school started with just 40 students (the "foundation forty"), but now has a roll of around 400 students, aged from 12 to 18 years of age.

Ripapa Island

Ripapa Island

Ripapa Island, just off the shore of Lyttelton Harbour (Whakaraupo) has played many roles in the history of New Zealand. The island initially played a key role in an internal struggle for the south island Ngāi Tahu tribe in the early 19th Century. In the late 19th century the island was used as a quarantine station for ships arriving from Britain, though 1880 saw the use of the quarantine buildings as a prison, notably for members of the Parihaka Māori settlement in Taranaki during its passive resistance campaign against the surveying and selling of its land by the government. The quarantine buildings were dismantled when the Island was incorporated into the coastal defence scheme.
