CHRISTCHURCH

Situated on the East Coast of the South Island, with a population of around 300 000, Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island

Known as The Garden City, it offers extensive inner city public, private gardens and parks, with the Avon River slowly meandering though the city centre.

Still apparent, is the that Christchurch was founded by upper class English whose influence is still apparent in the city’s architecture, the very English Christ’s College, Cathedral Square,  and punting on the Avon River.

While in the city, why not visit the Antarctic Centre or take a drive out to Akaroa, New Zealand’s “French” settlement where you can enjoy a unique atmosphere, great food, fishing and eco boat trips.
