Mayfield in New Zealand most commonly refers to a small rural settlement in Mid Canterbury, on the South Island.

Quick Scoop: Where is Mayfield NZ?

Mayfield is a farming village in the Ashburton District of the Canterbury region, on New Zealand’s South Island.

It sits about 35 km inland from the town of Ashburton, on the Inland Scenic Route (the former State Highway 72) near the top of the Canterbury Plains, not far from the Southern Alps.

There is also a suburb called Mayfield in Blenheim (Marlborough region, also on the South Island), but when people say “Mayfield NZ” they usually mean the Canterbury rural settlement.
