Ashburton District
Land of surprising contrasts.
This rich agricultural region stretching from the alps to the ocean, and bordered by impressive braided rivers, encompasses the Ashburton, Methven, Mt Somers high country and Rakaia areas.
Within an hour from Christchurch International Airport you can be skiing or snowboarding, white-water rafting, skydiving, enjoying a country golf course, visiting gardens of blazing blooms, uncovering relics of aviation and transport history, hiking or mountain biking nature trails or enjoying traditional rural hospitality.
A cluster of high country lakes lure avid fly fishers, a hot air balloon or heli flight provides a birds eye view of a patchwork landscape, a 4WD adventure can take you on a journey into the high country wilderness.
Heritage trails, craft markets, art galleries, festivals and farm tours will fill your time with memorable New Zealand experiences.

I spent a month driving around New Zealand, staying in motels all the way. Near the end of my holiday I chanced upon this motel. I was delighted by the friendly welcome, the lovely rooms, the gardens and the amenities. It really was a case of 'Save the best till last!'
