We offer a unique stay. Well equipped rooms and a peaceful garden setting to spend time enjoying the New Zealand clean air. There is a nature reserve 150 meters from our property, where you can see an abundance of bird life and native vegetation.
My wife and I are both selling artists and we enjoy sharing our passion for our hobby. I am a kean fisherman, in the ocean, our clean rivers, and our beautiful lakes.
Our neighborhood is a leafy oasis on the northwestern side of Christchurch. We are surrounded by well maintained and cared for homes that exude a calming feeling with their careful tree and garden planting. It is very quiet and offers a relaxing stay, away from our somewhat hectic little city. We are perfectly situated for your journey to start in any direction, or to end with a quick and easy cruise to the airport.
