Welder

Christchurch


This health-and-wellbeing complex – occupying the repurposed industrial warehouses of the Welder – combines a yoga studio and plenty of opportunities for healthy eating and drinking. Options include an organic juicery, an artisan bakery and a traditional Japanese-style izakaya restaurant. The Welder had just opened at the time of writing, so check the website for what else is new.
