Located on the stunning Banks Peninsula, on the South Island of New Zealand and approximately 35 minutes drive from the city of Christchurch is the district of Diamond Harbour. The name Diamond Harbour, was supposedly given to this small settlement because of how the sunlight shines on the water, like a diamond glistens in the sunlight. This small community is home to around 1,400 residents and has a range of homes for sale perfect for anyone looking for real estate that combines seaside views with a rural backdrop.
People are drawn to this Canterbury area for its natural beauty, amazing seaside views, clean air warmed by the sunshine, and fresh smog free environment of the bays and sea.

There are also regular ferry and bus services that connect Lyttelton with Diamond Harbour.
