Geraldine

Few towns in Canterbury have a history as closely tied to South Canterbury’s farming communities as Geraldine. Set on the Waihi River near the foothills of the Southern Alps, it developed as a service town for the surrounding rural district and retains a compact, independent character. Talbot Forest Scenic Reserve protects a remnant of native lowland forest within walking distance of the centre, while the nearby Waihi Gorge leads into more rugged country. Geraldine is also known across New Zealand for Barkers products, made here since the 1960s.
