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

About the host

Hosted by Anne

Host profile image
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.
