About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family-friendly, well-equipped, spacious country house,garden and Fibre Internet

Our place is close to Kaiapoi. You’ll love our place because it has plenty of room, good heating / cooling, well-equipped kitchen, gas hot water with great pressure, three luxury mattresses for a perfect sleep and rural views out the back. It is good for couples and families (with kids). It's on a 10-acre established section with lots of space to explore.

The Den has a 55 inch smart TV with Sky satellite TV, DVD player and Netflix if you have an account. It has super-fast Fibre Internet and WiFi.

Note that there is an external floodlight/security camera facing the driveway. If you would like that disabled for your stay, please let me know.

** 100% refund if cancelled by the day before check-in. VRBO does not have this option but I can approve the refund if your plans change. Please let me know ASAP though, so someone else gets a chance to rent it **

Gorgeous and welcoming house - perfect bbq spot
Thank you for having us to stay at your beautiful house and gardens, especially with the cherry blossoms coming out. It was so homely and a perfect place to host a engagement bbq. Amazing kitchen & bbq facilities, all very well equipped. It was a lovely place to unwind. The location was great, clost to Chch and only 10 mins out of Rangiora & Kaiapoi. But it really felt like a slice of tranquil countryside.

Perfect for our needs, loved the furnishings, felt like a home away from home! The main lounge was my favourite room to escape to and read one of the books of the bookshelf. Huge thanks to Simon our host, we would love to return.

Great stay!
We loved our stay at this cozy home. Loved how close it is to Christchurch but far enough to have a private feel. It’s also not a far drive from some beaches which we really enjoyed. Everything worked great for us while staying at the house and it had everything we needed. The house has an older feel to it with modern touches which we thought was neat. Would definitely recommend the house if you’re looking for a place to stay near Christchurch!
