Christchurch's newly revamped coffee spot a big hit with gardeners

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Location is the drawcard for a newly revamped Christchurch café.

Red Eight at Portstone is the newly renovated café inside the Portstone Garden Centre on Ferry Rd in Woolston, sporting a unique look and vibe compared to the city’s many other hospitality joints.

Its location inside Portstone Garden Centre allows copious sunlight to beam through the surrounding glass, reflecting off the freshly painted walls and decorated furniture. The feel is light and summery with bright colours and a feature wall as you walk in, just how owner Stephanie Reeves wanted it.
