Our Locations
Plux Stays properties are located across four beautiful areas of Canterbury, New Zealand.
Christchurch
Christchurch is the vibrant gateway to the South Island and New Zealand's second-largest city. Known as the Garden City for its stunning parks and green spaces, Christchurch has reinvented itself since the 2011 earthquakes into one of the most exciting urban centres in Australasia. A thriving food scene, world-class street art, innovative architecture, and easy access to mountains, surf beaches, and Banks Peninsula make it an unforgettable destination.
Prebbleton
Prebbleton is a charming village on the southern fringe of Christchurch that perfectly balances small-town community with big-city convenience. Popular with families for its excellent schools, safe streets, and friendly atmosphere, Prebbleton offers a relaxed pace of life while sitting just 15 minutes from Christchurch CBD and the airport. It is an ideal base for visitors who want a quieter setting without sacrificing easy access to the city and wider Canterbury.
Lincoln
Lincoln is a thriving township in the Selwyn District, anchored by Lincoln University and surrounded by Canterbury's rich farming heritage. With a growing high street of cafes, shops, and eateries, plus easy access to the dramatic coastline of Lake Ellesmere, Birdlings Flat, and Banks Peninsula, Lincoln offers a uniquely Canterbury blend of rural charm and modern amenities. It is a fantastic base for families and groups looking to explore the region at a relaxed pace.
Tai Tapu
Tai Tapu is a peaceful rural village nestled between Christchurch and the Port Hills, surrounded by lifestyle blocks, farmland, and native bush. It is the kind of place where you hear tui and bellbirds rather than traffic. With the Halswell Quarry Regional Park, Port Hills walking trails, and Lyttelton Harbour all close by, Tai Tapu is perfect for visitors who want to immerse themselves in Canterbury's natural beauty while remaining just 20 minutes from the city.
