About

The Fairy Forest, a local business on South Island, is a gallery at Waitikiri Drive, Parklands, Christchurch 8083. The address places it in the Parklands suburb on the northern edge of Christchurch.

The gallery trades as an art space rather than a retail shop, and a small set of five photos on the listing shows the displays. First-time visitors can expect a compact exhibition space rather than a large museum, with a short visit suiting a day in the city. A 4.5 out of 5 score from 45 reviews reflects a modest but steady following. Christchurch sits within reach of Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura.

Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. New Zealand cooking features lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish.

English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.
