Winter Mission
Winter Mission!
An unforgettable day for two
This Date has been planned to fit around the hours of the places but feel free to mix it around and make it your own!
Around 2pm - Pick up your amazing Date and head to the famous Addington Coffee Co-op.
Stroll into the warm vintage Café with inviting couches to cosy up on, fascinating art pieces and antique bikes hanging from the rafters. Addington Co-op roasts their coffee in the far corner, creating the delicious aroma of coffee beans and has a friendly constant buzz about the place so you can escape into your own corner of the world or be amongst it all. It's the place to be on a cold winters day and they've even created a small fair-trade shop where you can find unique items and chocolates from around the world. Treat yourselves to a hot drink or the most delicious Berry Smoothie, served in vintage milk bottles with cardboard straws for that extra creative touch.

Around 3.30pm - Jump back in the car and pop over to the Colombo Mall for some of the best Dumplings you will ever eat! Potsticker has the most creative varieties of Dumplings to try and you'll never go anywhere else after tasting their works of art.
Enjoy the trendy vibe of Colombo Mall, and if you're a sweet tooth make it a game of choosing a delicious Macaroon from J'aime les Macarons and get the other person to guess what it is after one bite!
If there's time to spare, wander around the groovy stores that range from Vintage treasures, to fashion and décor. Write your favourite quotes on the blackboard down the end to leave something behind.

Around 5pm - Back into the car with your favourite sounds on to keep the fun-times rolling.
It's about to get competitive and possibly flirtatious (depending on who you're with) with a good ol' fashioned round of Mini Golf at the Indoor Caddy Shack! If you're there before 6pm you can go for their last round when it's not so busy and laugh the time away.
Spice it up Tip: Make a cheeky bet with your date before you start the game of what the winner might get at the end!

Around 7pm - Take the time to relax as you drive out through the Lyttelton Tunnel to the magical Lyttelton Village where you can escape Christchurch for a night and be surrounded by the beautiful lights of the Harbour.
Drive up London St and pick up some hot salty fish n chips and drinks to takeaway. Jump back in the warm car to eat your winter picnic while you look out over the lights and listen to tunes.
You could easily end the night here and head home...but if you want the night to continue there's one more idea...

Around 8.30pm - Drive round the bays for 15 minutes till you arrive at Governor's Bay.
Sitting right on the corner is the cosy and warm Governor's Bay Hotel where they make a scrumptious hot chocolate to combine with a game of chess or pool table together if you're the playful types. Enjoy the warmth of being inside on a cold winter night, faraway from the city with only each others company.
Spice it up Tip: If you think your Date would love it, pre-book a room at the Hotel for the night and wake up together to the beautiful Bay in the morning.
