This stunning region is located on the rugged east coast of the South Island and starts a quick 45-minute drive north from Christchurch, offering diverse landscape, a rich country lifestyle and award-winning attractions.
Popular with international visitors wanting to experience wine, whales and thermal water is the 370km of the Alpine Pacific Touring Route which showcases a wonderful array of landscapes and activities that are the inspiration for wonderful adventures.
The three main destinations along the Alpine Pacific Touring Route are Hanmer Springs, Waipara and Kaikoura.
Hanmer Springs is set in a high country basin 385m above sea level. The alpine environment encourages nothing but relaxation. Waipara, only 45 minutes north of Christchurch, boasts amazing award-winning wines with Pinot Noir, Riesling, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominating. Kaikoura is New Zealand’s leading eco-tourism destination, located midway between Christchurch and Picton, and home to New Zealand’s only marine based whale watching experience.
Hurunui boasts an abundance of beaches, forests, parks and rivers, including more than 274 hectares of recreation reserves, so it is the perfect playground for everyone. There truly is something to suit every taste and budget.
Businesses within Hanmer Springs and the Hurunui district are also part of the North Canterbury Food and Wine Trail giving you the opportunity to visit wineries, enjoy fantastic food at our cafes and restaurants, stay in top level accommodation and to purchase straight from the producer.
In Hurunui we live the lives others only dream of – come visit, and travel well.
