WELCOME TO OXFORD

EXPLORE - EXPERIENCE - ENJOY

Just 40 minutes from Christchurch, Oxford is a favourite destination for people keen to take a country ramble and sample the rural serenity that the locals enjoy daily. Oxford hosts travellers from New Zealand and overseas who all come for a change of scenery, a change of pace, and for some, a change of lifestyle.

WHY WE ARE THE GREATEST LITTLE TOWN IN NEW ZEALAND

Oxford has come a long way since it was first settled in the mid-1800s. In April 1861, there were only 25 residents in the electoral role, but farming and forestry-related industries boosted the population to 513 eligible voters by 1881. There are now 2200 people who enjoy living in this beautiful little town and we look forward to welcoming you.

WHAT IS THERE TO DO IN OXFORD?
