About the host
Hosted by Nikki and Chris
Kia ora! We are a Kiwi couple but Chris is originally from the UK. After travelling the world full-time for two years, we returned home to NZ and we have been enjoying repaying the favours and inviting guests into our home in Cashmere since June 2020. It was perfect timing too before the world changed!
We enjoyed hosting guests so much that we started a second Airbnb property and since February 2022 have been hosting guests in Cass Bay too. We have been lucky enough to welcome guests from all around the world!
We are in our early 40's but young at heart and very well-traveled. We're always keen to hear about other people's experiences and travel stories.
We are very clean and tidy non-smokers who love living in a unique part of the country, surrounded by nature. We are passionate about the environment and try our best to be eco friendly, generating a large percentage of our energy through solar power. Both of our properties are in quiet spots, so we hope you enjoy the peace like we do.

Why they chose this property
When we first saw Sherwood Lodge, we were blown away by the amazing setting amongst the trees with those views all the way across town. When we bought Sherwood Lodge, the gardens were fairly overgrown but we could see the potential and have spent three years clearing away vines and weeds, replanting, landscaping and even bringing back to life a long-disused water feature built by previous owners (so we now have our very own stream running through the property!).
We've spent most of our lives travelling the world and have been to more than 50 different countries but we've never been anywhere quite like Sherwood before; we love it here and our guests do too :)

What makes this property unique
The views from the house are breathtaking. Sitting on the deck in the sunshine surrounded by trees and native birdsong, you'll feel like you're a million miles away from the rat race, but Christchurch central city if just a few minutes' drive away. It's the best of both worlds and completely unique.
