Christchurch, the Garden City

Located on the east coast of the South Island, Christchurch is a city of contrasts. It is a place where its residents continue to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle amidst a natural environment worldrenowned for its beauty.

A growing cosmopolitan ambience also adds a touch of excitment without over fl ashiness. There is nowhere else in the world where within two hours of an international airport you can ski at a world class alpine resort, play golf, bungy jump, go rafting, mountain biking, hot-air ballooning, wind surfi ng, whale watching and visit world class wineries and gardens.

The city centre is comfortably compact and most delightful central feature is the gently winding Avon River.
