CHRISTCHURCH INFORMATION
Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island, with a population of over 350,000. It is one of the two main international airports for the country, and is connected via a tunnel to a seaport at Lyttelton on Bank's Peninsula. It is widely regarded as the Gateway to the South Island and is the perfect place to base your New Zealand holiday.
The Garden City is also, arguably, the most attractive city in New Zealand, with extensive inner city public gardens and parks, the shallow Avon river meandering though the city centre, and a pedestrian oriented downtown centred on Cathedral Square.
Christchurch was a planned settlement founded by English colonialists. This rich English history is still apparent in the city's atmosphere; historic trams loop around the city, you can punt down the Avon, and the city is scattered with impressive Neo-Gothic buildings.
Otautahi ( in Maori for Christchurch) is a place where its residents continue to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle amidst a natural environment world-renowned for its beauty.
