About this property
Stunning Beach-access House
This award-winning house is luxurious living - spacious, modern, light, sunny and warm. Its tasteful decor and amenities give you all the comforts of home with a bach/beachside feel to it.
Fabulous Waikuku beach is only 3 minutes walk away through a beautiful pine forest. The patrolled beach (summer months only) is also known for its surfing. After a swim, rinse off under the outdoor hot water shower and sink into the spa pool to warm up (kids love this!).
Walking and biking options are many - from a stroll down the beach to the Ashley River Estuary to a mountain bike ride through the forest to the Waimakariri River.
Visit the popular Waipara vineyards just 15 minutes drive to the north, drive into Christchurch for the day, or try your hand at Pegasus Golf Course.
For evening relaxation, enjoy a peaceful soak in the spa pool. Watch the stars above, listen to the echo of the ocean and put the world on hold for a while!
Waikuku Beach, 25 minutes drive from central Christchurch and its international airport, has a carefree village atmosphere. It has a local store, tennis courts, and a playground with paddling pool and flying fox.
Special conditions:
Our much loved cat, Indy, is resident at this property so we hope you don't mind feeding her each day. Many thanks!
Property not truly toddler safe due to unfenced road access, external steps and internal staircase.
Smoking allowed outside only.
Extras:
Cleaning (Required, NZ$75 per stay)
