About this Holiday House

1.3km from Terrace Downs Golf Resort, close to Rakaia River and Lake Coleridge for fishing, 45 minutes to get to Mt Hutt skifield, close to many other activities. Great family holiday home accommodation or for a weekend break for two (only 1 hour from Christchurch). A two bedroom cottage which sleeps six (maximum), it is fully self contained and well equipped, with stunning views of Mount Hutt and the surrounding hills. It is off the road so is private and quiet other than farm activities nearby. Very sunny and warm, with a large fenced lawn area, sand pit, and plenty of room to park (including boats), car port for car, log fire for winter heating (wood supplied). Other close by activities include jet boating, fishing, ballooning, horse riding, and Methven village all within 20 minutes. Please note - sorry but no pets as the cottage is situated in the middle of a working farm. Check out our Facebook page.

Helen Fergusson
This place is wonderful - a very rare opportunity to stay in a secluded peaceful farm cottage with amazing views. Really appreciate the owners making it available - cottages like these (in this price range) are not easy to find. And the fire was just the icing on the cake! Best of luck to the owners and hope they know how much this is appreciated.
Response from Owner
Thank you Helen. Lovely that you enjoyed the cottage so much. Your encouragement makes it all worthwhile!
