I just love the Kaikoura coast, 2.5 hours north of Christchurch- it is supremely rugged and beautiful. Visit the seals at the colony in Kaikoura or just stop on the side of the road and search for seals yourself. If you are lucky you will see dolphins off shore.
The kaikoura coast is one of the iconic coastal drives in New Zealand.

The views from the summit roads of Banks Peninsula are stunning. Stroll on the iconic hillsides or drop down into a peaceful and secluded bay of your choice. Take a picnic or stop at Little River or Akaroa. Meander and you will find your own secret spot. The peninsula is a brilliant day trip from Christchurch.
I am very fond of the Peninsula and I am sure that you will enjoy this special area.
