Darfield is a small, rural town in the central north-east of the South Island and is about 20 miles (35km) west of the coast and Christchurch, on State Highway 73 SH73).

Known as The Great Alpine Highway, SH73 starts in Christchurch on the east coast, travels through the Southern Alps region through Arthurs Pass and ends in Greymouth/Hokitika on the west coast.  This makes Darfield an ideal stopping place for tourists driving the SH73.  The town is also a stop on the famous TranzAlpine scenic train service, that follows a similar route to SH73.

Darfield is close to the Canterbury ski areas, the Rakaia and Waimakariri Rivers, several excellent wineries that offer tours and tastings, and many parks, gardens and forests, which are ideal for the many walking and hiking tracks and trails, to really appreciate the stunning countryside.

Although it a fairly small town, there are still a good selection of shopping and dining, and accommodation is plentiful and diverse.
