Spencerville, New Zealand

Spencerville and the Styx River

Spencerville is a semi-rural town on the east coast of Canterbury, New Zealand north of Christchurch. The town backs on to Bottle Lake Forest and includes a large (1 hectare) park and 80 hectare camping ground. These things, as well as wetlands and an animal and bird park make the town a popular camping area for Christchurch residents.

In recent years the towns population has been increasing due to the "Seafield Park" residential development.
