Getting to Te Kaha (One New Zealand Stadium)
Where is Te Kaha Stadium?
Te Kaha (also known as One New Zealand Stadium) is in Christchurch Central City at 218 Madras Street.
Driving, rideshare & event-night tips
For major events, traffic and congestion around the stadium can be heavy. The venue information notes there's no onsite parking and recommends public transport or taxi/rideshare options for big crowds.
A simple plan:
- Head in early for pre-event food/drinks
- Use rideshare/taxi if you'd rather avoid parking stress
- Walk a few blocks if you do park in the city (parking fills quickly on stadium nights)
Public transport options
Christchurch has regular bus services through Addington and into the central city. If you prefer not to drive on event nights, bus + a short walk can be an easy option (especially when the city is busy). For planning, use the Metro journey planner/timetables.
What makes this a great "event weekend" stay?
Close to restaurants, pubs and quick meals
A huge advantage of staying in Addington is how easy it is to grab food before or after an event. From the motel, it's a short walk to restaurants, casual pubs and cafés, handy when you want to avoid late-night driving around.
Great for more than one event venue

Helpful tips for booking Te Kaha Stadium accommodation
Book early for peak event dates
When Te Kaha hosts major fixtures and big-name concerts, accommodation demand rises across the city. If you already know your event date, booking early gives you better choice of room types (especially for families and groups).
Choose your "style" of stay: quick and easy vs. full weekend
One-night event stay: book a studio, arrive late afternoon, head to the event, sleep in, and depart.
Weekend plan: add an extra night so you can explore Christchurch, enjoy meals out, and avoid rushing around on the day of the event.
Consider your transport plan before you lock in times
If you plan to drive, aim to get into the central city earlier. If you're using rideshare or public transport, it can be easier to leave the car parked and keep the whole trip relaxed, especially since the stadium notes congestion and limited parking options at peak times.
