Canterbury transforms in the autumn months with stunning colours bursting through the entire region. Here's the TOP 6 Canterbury locations to capture autumn beauty.
Hanmer Springs
Hanmer Springs screams autumn! Beautiful coloured trees, a touch of early snow on the mountains and lovely mild days. Make sure to have the camera handy, as photo opportunities are waiting for you around every corner.
Geraldine
Geraldine is an idyllic country town. Surrounded by paddocks with mountain ranges in the background, it's the perfect setting for the ultimate autumn shot. In the middle of the town lies the square with little shops and cute cafés. From Geraldine it's only a short drive to Peel Forest, the home of ancient trees and wildlife.
Twizel
Twizel is the ultimate autumn paradise. Located right in the heart of the high country, the town offers stunning mountain and lake views. Lake Ruataniwha, Lake Ohau and Twizel River are the perfect photo locations with coloured trees mirroring, deep blue lakes and rivers and a dusting of snow on top of the mountains.
Christchurch/Banks Peninsula
On the other side of the Port Hills lie Lyttelton, Governors Bay and Diamond Harbour. The drive from Lyttelton to Diamond Harbour around the bays is a great experience in autumn. On one side the green water of the sea, on the other side picturesque countryside. A break at Orton Bradley Park and a short walk along the creek up to the Big Rock is ideal to take in the beautiful view. Hagley Park is a must for seeing the autumn leaves, especially at golden hour. The park becomes bathed in golden hues that's truly magical.
