Activities & Attractions

Christchurch is located on the Canterbury Plains, and is bordered by the Southern Alps to the west, the Pacific Ocean to the east, Waimakariri River to the north and Banks Peninsula to the south. With a population ot 300,000 people, it is the South Island's largest city and is often referred to as the Garden City. The region's temperate climate and good soil provide perfect growing conditions enabling the many orchards gardens to flourish.

Canterbury offers a diverse range of outdoor activities, reflecting its varied terrain. The Hurunui, Rangitata and Waimakariri Rivers - braided rivers that wind across the Canterbury Plains - provide adventure sports such as rafting and jet boat rides, as well as fishing.

Unusual local climatic conditions are ideal for activities such as paragliding , hot air ballooning and skydiving. Spectacular day and night views may also be seen from helicopter or scenic aeroplane flights.

Canterbury offers a top selection of skiing and snowboarding attractions at top ski fields with fabulous scenery. The closest skifields to Eyrewell Downs are Porter Heights (1 hour drive) and Mt Hutt (1 1/4 hours drive) which is the largest ski area in Canterbury.

South Island vineyards exploit unique growing conditions that enable production of distinctive wines not produced in any other part of the world. Canterbury is now home to 10% of New Zealand's vineyards.

Further afield you can take a boat ride with the sperm whales off the coast of Kaikoura, relax in the therapeutic thermal waters at Hamner Springs or step back in history in Akaroa, the oldest township of Canterbury.
