The Location

Coldstream Estate is situated in Mid Canterbury, on the East Coast of South Island of New Zealand, about one and a half hours south of Christchurch International Airport. Christchurch, often referred to as The Garden City, is the largest city in the South Island. It has a rich English heritage dating back to its settlement in 1840.

The Canterbury Plains are a rich agricultural region stretching from the Southern Alps to the Pacific Ocean. It is also a mecca for adrenalin and adventure enthusiasts with jet boating, hot air ballooning, horse racing, white water rafting, sky diving, four wheel drive tours, skiing and snowboarding. Mt Hutt is the closest ski field. The district also has a number of conservation areas.

Coldstream Estate borders the magnificent braided Rangitata River for five kilometres. With its headwaters high in the Southern Alps the Rangitata River is world renowned for its Chinook salmon fishing. It is also noted for its sea run Brown trout early in the season, and supports good stocks of Rainbow trout less often targeted by anglers. The season runs annually from November to April.

The Rangitata River Mouth itself, just two kilometres downstream from the farm, is one of the more famous salmon fishing areas in the South Island with large numbers of salmon regularly caught there.
