Lovely place to stay, very quiet and safe. We met Neil, one of the hosts and Milo and Zeus, the two dogs. Very welcoming...

About this property

Cottage in the valley

Two bedroom cottage located in the stunning Holmes Road valley just a short 20 minutes from the centre of Christchurch. Wake up to the song of tui and bellbirds singing whilst being wrapped in the stunning scenery of rolling green hills and trees. The cottage stands alone from the main homestead. An electric gate greets guests leading up a tree lined drive to your own secure parking area with private entrance into the cottage.

Located close to supermarkets (10 mins), Restaurants (5 mins), Akaroa (40 mins), Banks Peninsular (20 mins), Christchurch Airport (30 mins), Lincoln & Halswell (7 mins)

A COUNTRY GETAWAY

A relaxing spot to spend some time when visiting for a family wedding. Close to the Raspberry Café and berry shop. Yummy and well worth a visit It felt safe and secluded, while just a few mins from the city.
