Christchurch
Appreciate the vibrant spring blooms on a leisurely punt ride along the meandering Avon River or take time to stroll through the award winning Botanical Gardens. Crisp, clear sunny days greet the visitor at this time of year. Winter's snow fall remains on the mountains with ski areas often open well into October.
Christchurch has an amazing backyard. A short drive north to whale watching in Kaikoura; an hours drive to charming Akaroa - the only French settlement in New Zealand or a drive to the magnificent Aoraki/Mt Cook - Australasia's tallest mountain; ninety minutes' drive to Hamner Springs - New Zealand's premier thermal pools complex; or spend an afternoon or two sipping and savouring the vineyards of North Canterbury.
The province of Canterbury offers a myriad of things to see and do during spring. Enjoy a round of golf in the heart of the city, unwind in natural mineral hot pools at Hanmer Springs, or float tranquilly above the plains in a hot air balloon. Bike or hike your way through the countryside and national parks or take in the scenery with a ride on the gondola.
