Kerrs Reach is a rowing club in Wainoni, Christchurch, easily reached off Kerrs Road, with a 4.8 rating from eight Google reviews. Customers call it the hub of rowing in the city, with colleges and clubs storing their boats in its sheds, and they praise the facilities, the parking and the riverside walks beside the rowing.
Rowing clubs live by the seasons: squads row at dawn when the water is flattest, and racing builds through spring and summer to the regatta calendar. Beginners usually come in through learn-to-row courses for school ages and adults, while masters crews keep older rowers involved for decades. Spectators watch from the bank, sharing the riverside paths with walkers, and a good club will happily talk through its intakes if you ask.
In east Christchurch, Kerrs Reach puts all of that on the Avon at Wainoni, worth a stop whether you row or simply enjoy watching from the water's edge.
