Location With a population of over 350,000, Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island, and the third largest in New Zealand. It is known throughout New Zealand and beyond as the Garden City, due to its many public and private green spaces. The city boasts many parks, rivers and a typically English-style layout of central square and parallel streets running north to south and east to west. Christchurch is surrounded by mountains, the Canterbury Plains, beautiful coastline, and the Port Hills, which provide a dramatic backdrop to the city. Activities available in the wider Christchurch / Canterbury region include hot air ballooning, hiking / walking, mountain biking, wine tours, boating, surfing, golf, and much more – far too much to list here! During the winter months, several world-class ski fields can be reached within a 1-2-hour drive of the city. Christchurch has a temperate maritime climate with dry warm summers. The mean daily maximum air temperatures is 22.5 degrees Celsius in January, and reaching highs of 30 degrees during Summer. In winter it is common for the temperature to fall below 0 °C at night.
