About
Visit Waimakariri is the tourism organisation for the Waimakariri district, which represents the best of both worlds; as an urban/rural paradise only 15minutes’ drive from Christchurch, it has miles of unspoiled landscape punctuated by thriving town centres.
The district’s town centres nestled in the heart of Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Oxford, Woodend and Pegasus have personality plus with cultural and recreational offerings, boutique shopping, unique cafes, and breath-taking art galleries
The coastal beaches, tracks for walker and biking are people magnets all year round. The lake at Pegasus is also a great playground for sailing and kayaking and of course houses the international golf course.
