Advantages: Beautiful city Disadvantages: Not very Kiwi
Christchurch is in the Canterbury region of NewZealand's South Island and is the largest city on this island. Like the North Island's Auckland, it is a key arrival point and hub for international travellers.
Christchurch is situated close to the East coast and to the West lie the immense flat sweeps of the Canterbury plains. These vast plains feel flat, even to me, a native of East Anglia.

When I visited New Zealandin July I decided to take an organised tour as I had limited time.
