Sandhill Gardens Retreat, close to Rangiora, Woodend ,Kaiapoi and Pegasus.
Large modern villa with ranch sliders from all living areas to access wrap around verandah and beautiful established gardens and lawns. Enjoy the amazing sunsets and night sky gazing. Nearby Woodend beach is great for swimming in summer and the woodland beach reserve trail can be walked or biked from Woodend all the way through Pegasus to Waikuku. The home's quiet rural setting with established trees and gardens, contains an abundance of natives and introduced species including mature Rhododendrons, Camelias, Pin oaks, Maples, Dogwoods, flowering Cherries, Roses and Hydrangeas, and provides a haven for native birds. Listen for the tui , fantail , quail and pheasant's call. With a rural outlook on all sides , but 5 minutes from the main highway and just 5 - 10 minutes from Kaiapoi, Woodend and Rangiora townships. The best of both worlds!

Great location, you feel well away from everyting, but you are only 10mins from Rangiora. So much space in the house, great layout, everything you need. Awesome place to sray.
The place was perfect for our extended family who had gathered for a funeral. Gorgeous fire & plenty of space & bathrooms for everyone. Short drive to Woodend Beach which we loved too. Definitely recommend.
We had the best time on this property catching up with family. So much living space and beautiful blossoms to look at in the garden. Fantastic rural outlook but close to supermarkets/food places as well. Would highly recommend this house
We had such a lovely time!
The place felt like staying with family.
The owners were around more than I anticipated , but their horse was not well so understandable.
A private area , Lots of rooms & bathrooms for all , close to main highway to Christchurch & local beaches , singke glazed , wear earplugs at night , great hosts very clean & inviting , lovely vases of flowers thoughtfully arranged , conservative french country style.
I didn't stay here, my brother, his partner, my daughter and her 4 children did. I have rated the property on their comments. They loved it. Was perfect for tgeir needs
Our party consisted of 5 adults. Check in was organized and quick through email. Entering the property we were all amazed with the accommodation. 2 bedrooms had on-suits( 1 upstairs, 1 downstairs with the other bathroom for 2 other rooms. 1 spare toilet downstairs. This property would be one I'd happily stay in again and live permanently in. We all loved the covered in veranda, having tea and breakfast their each day.. The fire heated the whole house.. please take the time to enjoy this wonderful house.

The house suited our purpose in renting very well in order that we could avoid the sound of firecrackers on Guy Fawkes w/end
Excellent
A couple of things. Maybe provide face cloths.
Maybe renew the stove guidelines and also the dishwasher was slightly confusing as flashed between 2 hours and 50 minutes but seemed to take 50 minutes.
We will definitely be back if we are ever in the area again. Margaret was amazing. Everything was well organised, and the rooms were spotless, with fresh linens. We were impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was. If you are looking for a clean, welcoming, and well-kept place to stay, this is the spot.
Our family had a wonderful week stay at this beautiful farm house. The home had all we needed and was very clean. The host made sure we had everything we needed and was especially kind. One of our favorite things was making a nightly fire and daily visits to the horse that also lives on the property. We would highly recommend this property.
Fantastic stay - surrounded by the beautiful country garden
Lovely spacious family home with all the necessary amenities. Close proximity to the city but definite countryside feels. The garden is gorgeous and was our highlight! Adored sitting out on the wraparound porch with a book and cup of tea.
