Christchurch City has a population of 400,000, and the province of Canterbury (pop - 550,000), is about the size of Wales, UK. Our international airport is the gateway to Australia, Asia and the Pacific with direct flights to all areas. Fly in from Sydney, Brisbane, Singapore, LA and many more via New Zealand's largest city, Auckland.
We boast fabulous alpine skiing within an hours drive from the city centre as well as magnificent mountain walks, glaciers and 'Lord of the Rings' scenery. Christchurch is an incredibly clean, well laid out city with the 'Avon' river and Hagley Park (2000 acres) right at its doorstep. We have salmon fishing, jet boating, mountain-biking, bungy jumping, bush walking, surfing and sail-boarding and all within 30 minutes of the city centre. Christchurch is one of the most active outdoor cities in New Zealand and provides our international sports teams with the vast majority of the countries athletes due to its ideal training environment.
It's little wonder more and more of the major motion pictures are being brought 'down under' to the open space and under populated beauty that is truly 'gods own'.
