Our Region
Three Rivers Health is the largest General Practice in Mid Canterbury, a thriving rural-based economy with a strong tradition of grain and sheep farming but now with a new focus on dairying.
Many people move here for the lifestyle and work-life balance that the region provides. The main town of Ashburton is large enough to provide all the services and amenities that you expect in a larger city but without the hassles often associated with big cities. There are great restaurants and cafes for dining and relaxing in.
Your daily commute can be as long or as short as you wish, with reasonably priced housing available in the town or surrounding hinterlands. Fantastic views of the mountains are available from many areas and access to outdoor pursuits are readily available.
Whether it’s hiking, short walks, golfing, fishing, hunting or skiing, it’s all nearby.
There are great educational facilities available in the region and people are very welcoming. Christchurch, the South Island’s largest city is only an hour’s drive away and easily accessible.
