What to do here?

We think our rural location offers the best of both worlds: while there’s very little traffic or noise here in the valley, it’s actually only a five-minute drive to the Akaroa Highway and a 20-minute drive into central Christchurch. We’re really happy to help you plan your time, so while we cover some of the things you might want to know here, just get in touch if you want to find out more.

Top 3 reasons to visit

• Quiet, luxury rural venue
