Stretching from the Southern Alps to the Pacific Ocean, Canterbury is one of New Zealand’s most diverse and scenic regions — offering everything from alpine adventures to coastal retreats. At the heart of it all is Christchurch, a vibrant city that blends urban renewal with historic charm, drawing both international visitors and Kiwi holidaymakers alike.
Beyond the city, the region is home to iconic destinations like Hanmer Springs, known for its thermal pools and mountain views, and Akaroa, a quaint French-influenced harbour town on the Banks Peninsula. Inland, adventure seekers and nature lovers flock to Methven and Lake Tekapo, while the Mackenzie Region offers dramatic landscapes, stargazing, and seasonal snow activities. With such a wide variety of attractions and landscapes, Canterbury has become a favourite destination for all types of travellers — and a smart location for holiday home investment.
For owners, the region offers strong rental potential and year-round demand, with a growing appetite for quality short-term accommodation across both established and emerging hotspots.
