Oxford is just 45 minutes drive west of Christchurch on Inland Scenic Route 72.  It is nestled near the foothills of the Southern Alps and offers many recreation and leisure activities.

There is a real sense of an English village atmosphere and genuine warmth about the people that you meet in Oxford. The nearby mountains and river gorges are popular for bush walking, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, swimming and jet boating. The Waimakariri Gorge is the final transition point for the Speights Coast to Coast Multisport Event held in February each year. Stay at accommodation in Oxford or nearby Ashley Gorge, which is a well known and popular summertime destination for friends and families.
