Tai Tapu Hotel is a country pub and function venue at the foot of the Port Hills, just outside Christchurch on the road to Akaroa. The hotel dates from 1856 and began as a stagecoach inn with stables and a forge.
Today it runs a restaurant and bar with live bands, quiz nights and weekly deals, plus a large beer garden and playground. A standalone function room with its own grounds, built in 2016, hosts weddings, birthday parties, winter balls, conferences and christenings, and there is room for a helicopter to land.
The venue pairs its historic charm with modern amenities. Rated 4.4 from 1,203 Google reviews, 761 of them five stars and 37 one star.
The grounds suit larger gatherings, and the team takes booking requests for functions.
