Windwhistle

Tucked into the Canterbury foothills near the Rakaia River, Windwhistle is a place whose character is shaped by weather moving off the Southern Alps. This small rural settlement stands between the broad Canterbury Plains and higher mountain country, where open paddocks and shelterbelts reflect the region’s long-established farming life. The Rakaia is one of Canterbury’s major braided rivers, carrying alpine water east across the plains toward the Pacific Ocean. Windwhistle suits travellers interested in the quieter inland side of Canterbury, away from the larger towns and coastal centres.
