Where to find us
Christchurch International Airport is the most modern and advanced gateway to New Zealand and the South Island, with frequent international and domestic flights to choose from. Travelling to the Mid Canterbury district is an easy 1-hour trip. Clear the airport, load your transport of choice, and within an hour south you will be settling into your accommodation with views of the Southern Alps.
Scenic Highlights
Set between the famous braided Rangitata and Rakaia rivers, and from the mountains to the sea, Mid Canterbury is ideally placed to give you a slice of everything New Zealand has to offer. A district with scenery so magnificent it will take your breath away and one of the country’s richest agricultural regions that rises deep into the Southern Alps. The district’s best- kept secret Hakatere Conservation Park is the largest conservation park in NZ and the gateway to the high country and Southern Alps with 69,000 hectares waiting for you to explore.
