It is my pleasure to welcome you to this web gateway of Kaiapoi, North Canterbury’s most pleasant riverside town. Close to Christchurch with its international airport, and to Rangiora, Kaiapoi has a proud history of development and service to the surrounding countryside. Come and visit us soon and enjoy our warm hospitality and our sense of peace and tranquility, and yet with everything you could possibly want for an enjoyable and most pleasant stay.
