Seasonal Tips

DURING YOUR VISIT

Visit a Canterbury farm to feed the lambs and enjoy a slice of country life. Take the Christchurch Gondola (cable car) to the top of the Port Hills for a sumptuous evening meal and breathtaking views. Go horse trekking in the high country. Blast through the Hanmer Forest on a mountain bike. Canterbury has more golf courses per capita than any other region in New Zealand - hire some clubs and have a swing. Wander the paths of the Trevor Griffith Rose Garden in Timaru.

Spring Events


Your Words

It’s an otherworldly atmosphere that makes it easy to imagine behemoth whales surfacing offshore and seals and dolphins cavorting in the kelp forests.
