Springfield is located in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand’s South Island. This sparkling Selwyn District destination, a popular stop on the TranzAlpine train journey, is home to some unique sights and makes a great base for exploring some of the country’s most astounding natural attractions. In town, be sure to check out Saint Peter’s Church, a stunning example of Gothic Revival architecture, as well as the Pink Doughnut, a nod of recognition to The Simpsons cartoon series. The list of activities to enjoy around Springfield is almost endless: walk and picnic at Lake Lyndon; fish on the Waimakariri River; explore Craigieburn Forest Park and the magnificent Arthur’s Pass National Park; or take advantage of the popular ski fields of the area (such as Porters Ski Area and Mt. Cheeseman).
