Anyone from around Christchurch, New Zealand?

 I'm travelling to Christchurch, NZ on a work trip in January for a few weeks, planning to take the camera and do some wide field astro if I get the chance. 

Wondered if there's anyone on here from around the area knows any good locations and how to get to said locations, ideally easily accessible?

I can't give any specific advice, but would point out that NZ is known as 'The Land of The Long White Cloud' for a reason.

We were there for 3 weeks in December a few years ago, and only had two evenings where we could do any astro - and one of those was clear for just 30 minutes. 

By the way, if you go to the Christchurch Museum, they have an element of the scale model of the Solar System that was created at Otford in Kent for the millennium. On the scale of the model, Christchurch is the right distance for the location of Ross 154 in Sagittarius.
