Christchurch

Start your self-drive holiday in ‘The Garden City’ with some of the most diverse and enchanting routes to take. As the largest city on the South Island of New Zealand, Christchurch is located one third of the way down the East coast and a great starting point for trips to key areas such as Hanmer Springs, Akaroa, Blenheim, Fox Glacier, Queenstown, Fiordland and Milford Sound. Completing a circle of the South Island will create a lifetime of amazing memories with unusual eco experiences and mountain scenery to take your breath away.

Start your drive by enjoying some local hospitality from the down-to-earth Kiwis in Christchurch or explore one of the many gardens this floral city has to offer. To the North of the city you can find Willowbank wild life park with native Kiwi bird life and breeding programme. To the East Travis wetland, created as an ecological restoration programme. Hagley Park, often used for outdoor sports and open-air concerts, not to mention the luscious green and bursting with colour 75-acre botanical gardens located centrally in the city itself.

Named after the Scottish Avon, you can take a punt on the Avon River which runs through the city of Christchurch.  Floating down the river aboard a handcrafted flat-bottomed boat, you can view these wonderful gardens from a different perspective.

Take a drive through the Port Hills for panoramic views of Christchurch, the Canterbury Plains, Banks Peninsula and Lyttelton Harbour.

Christchurch has a temperate climate with moderate amount of rainfall. Summer is usually warm but with a sea breeze to keep you cool. In Winter it is not unusual for the temperature to drop below zero degrees at night.
