About this property

Cosy and private cottage with crashing waves and bird song to soothe your soul.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, look no further! Here is a restful haven with your peace in mind. We want you to enjoy your time out from the hectic pace of life and go the extra mile to ensure your comfort. The cottage is just a minute from the beach, so you'll have crashing waves to serenade you to sleep. Hector's food caravan (a literal hop, skip, and a jump away) is open to serve you the best local fish and chips on Friday and Saturday nights so you can simply put your feet up! North canterbury is abound with splendid wineries should you wish to venture a little further. Otherwise, Leithfield Beach boasts its own tennis courts, paddling pool for the kids, and playground. It is also a popular 4WD spot. Or simply meander along the beach with its many driftwood and pebble treasures. Amberley is just a five-minute drive and hosts some good eateries. You'll find all the necessary essentials here. But once you arrive at the cotttage, you probably won't want to leave! It's magic just staying put.

We couldn't fault anything - it is all thought of by the owners
We loved the wee cottage. Not too far to travel from Christchurch, yet in easy distance of Amberley if you had forgotten anything. Lovely and clean. All linen supplied and we were grateful to be able to walk out and leave without having to clean. Very, very quiet environs, right next to the campground and two minutes walk to the beach and forest trails. It had everything you needed - heat pump, new tv with all the apps, good hot water, great parking, and a fabulous private wee backyard - shame it rained, but that made us relax a bit more! We will definitely be back and recommend to anyone who likes quaint and cozy over new and flashy. Friends who were staying at the campground were impressed too.

A haven
From the minute I arrived I was impressed and delighted. Beautifully presented , scrupulously clean, quaint, quirky, comfortable , very private, within hearing of the sea, plentiful birdsong, easy access to beach, perfect spots for coffee outside at different times of the day. A truly awesome place to relax and take time out. Short drive from Chch. A definite place to add to your “escape to” list.
