About the area
Swannanoa
Located in Swannanoa, this apartment is in a rural area. Rangiora Golf Club and Darjon Vineyard are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those in the mood for shopping can visit Lilybrook Centre and Papanui Road. Looking to enjoy an event or a game while in town? See what's happening at Woodford Glen Speedway or Euromarque Motorsport Park.
