Location & Area

LITTLE RIVER AND SURROUNDING BANKS PENINSULA

Banks Peninsula’s dramatic volcanic landscape provides the perfect backdrop to Phytofarms’s gentle, 12 hectare location in Okuti Valley, Little River near Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand.

The area features native bush walks, a local art gallery, cafe and a cycle track along the old rail track from Christchurch to Little River, which provides spectacular views of the Southern Alps and the wetlands of Lake Ellesmere and Forsyth.

Okuti Valley is picturesque and sheltered with a native bush reserve, bowling & croquet club and several natural health practitioners. A variety of accommodation is available in Little River & Banks Peninsula.
