Living and working in Waitaha Canterbury

Ōtautahi Christchurch is New Zealand’s second largest city and the main population hub in Te Waipounamu South Island, with a multi-cultural population of 396,200.

Located on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island, it’s the gateway to fishing, skiing, tramping, golfing, rafting, jet boating, mountain biking, and many more activities.

Geographically it’s a diverse region, from sunny beaches and fertile Canterbury plains with rock-strewn braided rivers, to the Southern Alps which make up the back-bone of the South Island.

One of the remarkable things about our beautiful city and region is that you can be on the beach in the morning and in the mountains a few hours later.

Even though the city has suffered earthquake damage, the rebuild effort continues to create a vibrant place to live and work. It has an active business and education workforce, along with plenty of innovative art, culture, shopping, great food and many wineries nearby.

The moderate climate in Ōtautahi suits year-round recreational and leisure activities and many of our Pegasus Health team make the most of having such a great playground on their doorstep.
