Christchurch's central location on the east coast of the South Island makes it an ideal launchpad for activities and attractions that draw travellers to New Zealand year after year. Head north to sample the Waipara Valley wine region, the thermal pools and spas of Hanmer Springs and whale-watching encounters in Kaikōura. In winter, head westward and hit the slopes of Mt Hutt, Ōhau and Mt Dobson ski areas. The Craigieburn Trails and Arthurs Pass National Park deep in the Southern Alps are also well worth a visit for alpine hiking and bucket-list mountain vistas.
