    Although many guests like to just stay put and relax, Dry Paddocks is the perfect location to use as a base, and venture forth to discover more of the Christchurch and wider Canterbury district.

    One night is simply not enough to enjoy all Dry Paddocks and the Waipara Valley has to offer.

    Here are some suggestions, and don’t forget we are happy to personalise an itinerary for you.

    Arrive, settle in, make a coffee or take a wine and chill out surveying the countryside from the mound. If it’s hot have a swim, or you may have pre-booked a massage. Relaxed, you could dine in with pre-prepared gourmet meals accompanied by local wines.

    Most of our guests come to enjoy the vineyards and sample the award winning wines. We have maps available to help in your planning and make sure you reach your destination, and there is a local food and Wine Trail as well.

    So after a leisurely breakfast, set off to explore the local vineyards which are only minutes away and don’t forget to allow enough time to partake in a long vineyard lunch so you can enjoy our region’s superb food and wine.

    A forty-five minute drive will take you to Hanmer Springs, New Zealand’s premier alpine spa village. The outdoor thermal pool complex is popular all year round. There is a network of over 50km of walking tracks and mountain biking trails, bungy jumping, jet boat rides or you can treat your body at the spa. On return cook up a storm in Dry Paddock’s well appointed kitchen, or, sample what the award winning Nor’wester café has to offer.

    Whale watching at Kaikoura is a great days excursion from Dry Paddocks and is only one and a half hours drive. Take the Alpine Pacific Triangle, one of New Zealand’s most scenic drives, encompassing spectacular coastal scenery, serene lakes, cloud piercing mountains, sculptured limestone, tumbling rivers and shady forests.
