Christchurch is a great place to live, work, visit and do business. With a population of over 350,000; Christchurch is the international gateway to the South Island.

Explore Christchurch and discover the region's most popular attractions and activities. Many of the outdoor activities for which New Zealand is famous are accessible from here, with a plethora of city-based companies offering trips involving rafting, paragliding, ballooning and mountain biking in the surrounding countryside. The city is also within a two-hour drive of several good skifields to the west, making it possible to combine a day on the pistes with an evening in Christchurch's numerous watering holes. Indeed the place's only real drawback is its cost: compared with the rest of the South Island, Christchurch is an expensive place to spend any length of time, but this can be made possible with great deals on Christchurch Hotels to choose from.

With all these wonderful places to visit, experience sure is your great teacher. And now, I leave this quote to you to ponder and remember by heart:

“I know not how I may seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with.”
