Christchurch
in The South Island

With a burgeoning creative scene, landscapes to stun and of course a brunch scene that rivals most, Christchurch is nothing short of wonderful. There's enough to do, see and eat in this hotbed of culture to make it a trip in itself but if you're short of time, be sure to add it to that Kiwi road trip.
