Where to eat and stay in Ashburton

32 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Ashburton, Canterbury — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.

We hold 32 venues in Ashburton — 27 places to eat and 5 to stay. That makes it the 14th-largest of the 213 towns and suburbs we cover in Canterbury, carrying 1% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 33% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. Ashburton is 5 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 9 cafés, 9 restaurants, 8 takeaways and 1 bars.

12 of the 27 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (3), chicken (2) and burger (2). Relative to the rest of the country Ashburton is unusually strong on coffee shop — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 7 publish opening hours (22%), 3 have outdoor seating and 2 flag vegetarian options. That is about the national average of 23%.

For a bed, Ashburton runs to 5 listings — 3 motels, 1 hostels and 1 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 60% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Hokitika (32), North Harbour (32), Greenwoods Corner (32) and Eden Terrace (33) — average 15% accommodation. Ashburton runs at 16%, much the same, so on this measure it behaves like its peers.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 2 of the 32 venues in Ashburton carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
