Those of us that live here know it, those who have moved here have discovered it — discover the secret to a great lifestyle for yourself!
Mid Canterbury, also known as the Ashburton District, is one of the most progressive and inviting regions of New Zealand. A vibrant and outstanding business and recreational environment to live, work and play, right in the heart of the most fertile farming, recreational and tourism regions of Canterbury.
Mid Canterbury has a proud history as one of New Zealand’s premier farming and agriculture regions and as a tourism hub in more recent times. With a regional population of about 30,000, Ashburton is the main centre, a modern and fashionable town big enough to have all the services and facilities essential to cosmopolitan living, yet small enough to still have that safe and relaxed feel.
If you prefer, rural towns like Rakaia, Methven and numerous country villages offer a true rural lifestyle and welcoming community spirit, along with stunning scenery and an exciting array of summer and winter recreational attractions including skiing, water sports, fishing, hunting, mountain biking, walking and hiking.
Mid Canterbury is well positioned on the country's main road and rail networks, and an easy drive from Christchurch City and International Airport. It's all right here, so why not discover the secret for yourself!
