Rangiora Must Do's
Matawai Park
Hiding in plain sight, this central Rangiora park is a great place to enjoy a walk, barbecue or picnic, with plenty of green space to let the kids loose.

Northbrook Wetlands
A string of three lakes makes a peaceful oasis for ducks and swans, while the 1.5km circuit pathway facilitates walkers and cyclists, with picnic tables to boot.
Away with the Fairies
Cust is a sleepy, rural village 20 minutes inland from Rangiora and home to an enchanting fairy, bear and patchwork shop. An emporium of collectible teddies, fairy clothes, Tinkerbell houses and haberdashery, it’s magic stitched by craft needle. Done and Dusted and Route 72 Emporium are a couple of other shops with a difference that are worth a visit.
Rangiora Bakery
Established in 1860, the accolades have come thick and fast ever since. Partnered with Artisan Café, follow your nostrils to (arguably) the best baked goods in Canterbury. Visitors can peek behind the scenes with the café’s theatre baking, chef zone and cake decorating area.
Ashley Rakahuri Regional Park
Enjoy a brisk walk or cycle on paths skimming the river’s edge and weaving through forests. You can get from Rangiora to Waikuku.
High-end Boutiques
Shop up a storm in Rangiora’s laneways and pretty main street.
