All about Geraldine

Located about two hours southwest of Christchurch in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, Geraldine is a laid-back community at the foot of the Southern Alps. The town, which sits on the Waihi River, comprises a handful of streets lined with art galleries, clothing boutiques, and farm-to-table cafes. It’s a good place to refuel or do some window shopping before taking advantage of the area’s real draw: its easy access to nature. South Islanders flock here for the abundance of outdoor activities throughout the year. Wooded hiking trails reign supreme at Talbot Forest Scenic Reserve, Peel Forest Park, and the Orari Gorge Reserve, while whitewater rafting and kayaking are popular on the Rangitata River.

Since Geraldine is close to a handful of mountains, skiing is a great way to spend a winter day here. If you want to go a bit farther afield, the town serves as a gateway to gorgeous Lake Tekapo and Mount Dobson, home to some of the best skiing on the South Island.

You don’t have to do much to experience this amazing attraction: Simply wait until night falls, find a spot, and look up.

Peel Forest Park Scenic Reserve

Just 20 minutes from Geraldine, this forest was part of a timber milling settlement before it was designated a protected reserve.
