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.
