Free Wi-fi in Christchurch

Simply Catering

Congratulations to these places for providing free Wi-Fi in Christchurch!

Well done Christchurch Libraries (City, New Brighton, South) for providing free Wi-Fi for all – even on one of the few days they’re closed I still see travellers, and local I assume, sitting outside checking their emails and other web activities.

And, while the Wi-Fi is free, you of course need to have bought a coffee (or something else) to access it at these coffee shops – that seems fair to me.

• Simply Catering. Madras/Salisbury St cnr (see  earthquake update below)
• Le Café. Worcester Boulevard
• Esquires Coffee House (in Armagh Street, Hornby Mall, Northwood, The Palms)
• Coffee Culture (9 stores from Sumner, Lyttelton, city and malls)
  

  Coffee Culture Merivale

If you know other places in Christchurch where you can access the web free, please let me know (kiwitravelwriter) so I can keep this blog up-to-date – there are lots more .. so always ask!

POST QUAKE UPDATE:

Sadly, the lovely old building that housed Simply Catering has been demolished.

Able to retrieve most of their equipment and are working their cafe in a caravan and using a local kitchen owned by one of their customers. It will operate next door to the site while a replacement is built. “we are not going anywhere” the owner said, and he hopes this will allow him to keep a couple of his employees in their jobs.
