Great location for wine
This place is so warm, really comfy beds and a perfect location if you're checking out the local wineries. Cute little botique shop close by and a forest work was very interesting. It was really nice waking up to Bell Birds singing and the waves of the beach crashing in the distance. Although I was there for a girls weekend, the place was well set up for children and families. Would reccomend this cute little cottage

Fabulous property
We arrived to a warm welcome from Anne, there were 4 adults and one 2yo staying. The yard is great for children, lots of room to run around in and fully fenced, although our 2yo soon worked out how to open the gate . Lovely outdoor to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. Only thing I would say is the mattresses could do with an update or at least turning as not the most comfortable beds or pillows. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again when back that way.

Quiet retreat
We found the house comfortable, warm & quiet. We were somewhat disappointed that we had only booked it for 3 nights. The beach wasn't quiet what I'd expected but I'm not a swimmer so it didn't put me off.

About the host

Hosted by Anne

Semi-retired and now splitting my time between the bach and my home in Christchurch.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the garden! I was planning to retire to Kaikoura but decided to buy something closer to Christchurch.

What makes this property unique

I love the views looking out to the garden and watching the sheep graze in the paddocks.
