Kiwi House Sitters
The largest pet & house sitting site in New Zealand
The innovative "pop-up" city of Christchurch is in the Canterbury region of NZ, along with New Zealand's highest peak, the spectacular Aoraki Mount Cook.
The region is spectacular... From the indulgent Hanmer thermal springs to the incredible skiing slopes at Mount Hutt. From the whale watching at Kaikoura to one of the six most spectacular rail journeys in the world, the TranzAlpine Express - Canterbury literally has it all.
And Christchurch is the beating heart.
Christchurch is the main city in Canterbury, and one of New Zealand's largest and most important urban centres. Devastated by earthquakes in 2010 and 2011, Christchurch is #2 on the New York Times "52 Places to go in 2014". It is a city defined by energy, hope and creativity, characterised by places like the Re:Start shopping area (predominantly shipping containers re-imagined as fashion outlets, bars and cafes) and the pop-up bars right across the city.
