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 **

Great Quiet Spot
This was a great place for a bit of a quiet retreat, well appointed, spacious and tidy, not too far from Christchurch North. Everything we needed for a relaxed break away, without getting too complicated, great communication.

Fabulous stay
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!

Fabulous House
We loved staying at Simon's house. It is peaceful and quiet with absolutely everything you need. the beds are comfortable and there really isn't anything that hasn't been thought of. This is the second time we have stayed and both times loved it. It is handy to Christchurch as well as Rangiora. It is beautiful sitting outside as well as watching the rabbit in the morning.

Beautiful family home
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful country home. It is clean & tidy, has all the essentials, and a huge lawn for kids to run around and play. The perfect place to just relax and unwind, or use as a home base with lots of things to do and see in the surrounding areas, and a short distance to Christchurch. We especially enjoyed watching rabbits bounce around on the lawn while we ate breakfast each morning. Communication from host/property manager was exceptional. I highly recommend this property for families.

What a gem
Our time in this beautiful old home was everything we could have wished for and more. The property had everything you could need for your stay and was so clean, comfortable and well presented. The main bedroom was so inviting and such a comfortable place to sleep. It was truly one of the best homes we have ever stayed in. We will definitely re-visit and would love to see it in the warmer months. Huge thank-you to everyone involved in making our little trip so perfect

Beautiful, private setting
This house has been beautifully updated, retaining its gorgeous period details while adding all the modern conveniences. Although it is close to a moderately busy road, the high fence and vegetation give a feeling of total privacy. The landscaping is basic, but don't be put off by it, because the interior is really lovely, comfortable and sun-filled. A really pleasant place to spend some time, with quick access to Christchurch, especially the airport. A country experience but close to the city.
