Christchurch is located on the eastern coastline of the South Island, approximately 4.5 hours south of Picton. The original settlers of the Christchurch region were Moa Hunters in the 1000 century, they had hunted the moa out of existence by the 1500s (the Moa was a flightless bird endemic to New Zealand). After the Maori tribes, aided by firearms traded by whalers, fought each other to near disappearance in the Christchurch region, European pilgrims began settling the area in the 1800s. On 16th December, 1850, the first 792 pilgrims arrived in Lyttelton Harbour and on 31st, July 1856 Christchurch became a city by Royal Charter. This makes Christchurch the oldest city in New Zealand.
Today Christchurch is alive with colour and atmosphere, it's also known internationally as the "Garden City" due to the spectacular gardens. This is a perfect location to make your base to explore the surrounding area, with several ski fields in driving distance or the Lyttelton Harbour and wifelfe.
