Christchurch is known as the Garden City
all around New Zealand and the world. This is the largest
of all the South Island cities having a population in excess
of 300,000. Situated at the confluence of the Heathcote
and Avon rivers with a back-drop of the port hills, Christchurch
is the hub of the South Island. The visitor will immediately
notice the very English style layout of the city with its
central square and parallel streets running east, west,
north and south, from picturesque Cathedral Square. With
a great number of parks and the mature trees that are everywhere,
the name the Garden City, is very apt. Exclusive Rentals
homes are located only minutes from the popular Gondola,
which offers unique 360 degree views of Christchurch, the
Canterbury Plains and Lyttelton Harbour as you rise to the
summit complex, on the crater rim of Christchurch's famous
extinct volcano.
