Canterbury

From the dramatic, untamed Southern Alps to the playful dolphins of Kaikoura, Canterbury is a region of many personalities. Serious skiers shred powder on the slopes, while summer visitors brown on the shores of the Banks Peninsula. In Christchurch, Canterbury gets a dose of urbanity in a city known for its borrowed British sensibility.
