Life in Canterbury

Centred on the rebuilt garden city of Christchurch, Canterbury is the South Island's largest region, with the Southern Alps, Banks Peninsula, and the wide Canterbury Plains all close by. Christchurch offers a genuine city lifestyle with strong schools, culture, and healthcare, while towns like Timaru, Ashburton, Rangiora, and Rolleston provide a smaller-town, rural-adjacent alternative with an easy commute into the city.
