Canterbury Self Drive Holiday
Christchurch, the heart of Canterbury, has recently been the site of a series of earthquakes. The loss of life and the devastation caused to the heritage buildings and centre of the city have been a tragedy the whole world has felt. As the central city is redrawn and the surrounding areas rebuilt, the region wants visitors to know that they are, as ever, looking forward to helping you get the best from this wonderful part of the world.
Most businesses outside the central city are unaffected and many sites and attractions are operating as usual. The wider Canterbury region was not damaged and the spirit of the recovery is helped by the support that visitors bring.
So head south to Canterbury, visit the beautiful MacKenzie Country, see the museums in Timaru and head out to the Anglo-French village at Akaroa. They'd love to see you!
