The Canterbury region centres around Christchurch and spans across a large area of the Central East Coast of the South Island. It has a dramatic mix of alpine, farmland and coastal landscapes. This makes for a huge range of outdoor activities, including opportunities for skiing in Hanmer Springs, wine tasting, boating, surfing, swimming with the Hector's Dolphins in Akaroa and bungee jumping. Canterbury is a great region to explore and tick off those bucket list items New Zealand has to offer! All of our Canterbury holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
