This six day tour will focus on some of New Zealand's most historic homesteads in the Canterbury region - travelling south from Christchurch to Timaru and Waimate, returning via Fairlie (Gateway to the MacKenzie Country), Geraldine, Peel Forest and the scenic Rakaia Gorge to Christchurch. This special time of year has been chosen to coincide with the fresh spring gardens displaying not only rhododendrons but also some early roses and peonies.
