All stays receive our gorgeous complimentary Welcome gift of NZ goodies! 🍷🍫❤️
Hi, I’m Lady Geraldine. I’ve been lovingly restored & beautifully transformed into Geraldine’s newest (14+) boutique stay. And I must say I’m looking rather fabulous. Im a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom beauty! (Three showers, 2 toilets). Book all of me - my villa and guest house, gorgeous gardens, New Zealand made cedar hot tub, beautifully dressed beds, cosy wood fire, air conditioning and heating for every season. I've thought of all the little things - your only job is to settle in & enjoy me.
Lady Geraldine is primarily suited to guests aged 14+. If your group includes younger children, please send us a message before booking — we’re happy to consider requests on a case-by-case basis.
☕ For the coffee people: Lady Geraldine has a proper little coffee station, complete with a Breville Bambino espresso machine, freshly roasted coffee beans, grinder and milk frother. Prefer it slow? There’s a coffee plunger too, along with beautiful cups and everything you need to make your morning coffee exactly how you like it.
Perfectly positioned between Christchurch and the Mackenzie Country, Lady Geraldine makes a beautiful base for exploring some of the South Island’s most spectacular landscapes. Lake Tekapo, the turquoise lakes, alpine scenery and internationally renowned dark skies of the Mackenzie Basin are all within easy reach, making a day trip every bit as memorable as the destination itself.
The property brings together the beautifully restored main villa and a separate private guesthouse, comfortably accommodating up to eight guests. It’s an ideal arrangement for friends travelling together, special celebrations, family groups with older children, or couples who appreciate having both shared spaces and a little extra privacy.
Outside, Lady Geraldine is surrounded by gorgeous established gardens, with plenty of inviting places to sit, unwind and enjoy the peaceful setting. At the heart of the outdoor space is our stunning New Zealand-made Stoked stainless-steel hot tub—the perfect spot for a long soak beneath the stars after a day exploring the region.
Inside, every room has been thoughtfully considered, with beautiful, high-quality furnishings, generous living spaces and all the comforts you would expect from a boutique stay. The villa is warm, welcoming and fully equipped, so whether you’re sharing a long lunch, settling in by the fire or enjoying a relaxed evening together, everything you need is close at hand.
Geraldine itself is one of Canterbury’s loveliest small towns, known for its relaxed country atmosphere, boutique shops, cafés, local produce and beautiful walks. You can wander into town, browse the shops, enjoy a leisurely breakfast or lunch, and return to the peace and privacy of Lady Geraldine.
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a weekend with friends or a longer South Island adventure, Lady Geraldine offers something wonderfully different: character, comfort, privacy and a touch of indulgence, all in an exceptional location at the gateway to the Mackenzie Country.

About the host
Hosted by Brianna
We’re Bri & Daryl — lifelong travellers, seasoned renovators and serial rescuers of beautiful old homes. We spent eight and a half wonderful years living in Spain and have travelled extensively around the world, building and restoring properties in France, Vanuatu, Australia and New Zealand along the way.
Lady Geraldine is our latest labour of love. We adore taking places with history and character and bringing their beauty back to life — creating homes that feel warm, individual and a little bit special. After decades of renovating, we’ve learned that it’s often the smallest details that make the biggest difference.
More than anything, we love creating places we’d be excited to discover on our own travels. Lady G is exactly that, and we hope you enjoy her as much as we’ve enjoyed bringing her to life. 🤍
Why they chose this property
Why We Chose Geraldine
After years of travelling the world and living in some pretty special places, we know when somewhere just feels good — and Geraldine did. We fell for its beautiful tree-lined streets, friendly village atmosphere and that wonderful feeling of being tucked away in the countryside while still having great cafés, restaurants and little shops within walking distance.
We also love where Geraldine sits — perfectly placed between Christchurch and the Mackenzie Country, with mountains, lakes and some of the South Island’s most spectacular scenery on the doorstep. It has that rare combination of being somewhere you can slow down, yet there’s plenty to discover when you feel like venturing out.
For us, Lady Geraldine and Geraldine simply belonged together. 🤍
What makes this property unique
What Makes Lady Geraldine Unique
Lady Geraldine isn’t your typical holiday rental. She’s a beautifully restored character villa with her own gorgeous guest house, set amongst established private gardens and designed as an adults-only escape.
Book the entire property and she’s all yours — beautifully dressed beds, a New Zealand-made cedar hot tub under the stars, cosy wood fire, heating and air conditioning, generous outdoor spaces and plenty of little corners to disappear into with a wine or a good book.
We’ve spent decades restoring homes around the world, and Lady G has everything we’ve learned along the way poured into her — character, comfort, thoughtful details and just the right amount of personality. She’s been transformed and polished within an inch of her life. She has history, soul and a little bit of sass.
