Magical award-winning accommodation

Phenomenal architecture, intelligent design, and a bespoke finish coalesce perfectly to create this magical award-winning accommodation that provides an expansive haven.

Large glass windows embrace the open plan kitchen, living, and dining area and draw the natural light and sweeping valley views into the home.

Stunning in-ground salt water heated pool with a covered louvre area provides an exceptional outdoor area. The large built-in outdoor dining area leads you further down the garden.

The property features a sunken lounge that is sheltered by a timber-cast concrete wall and draws texture from the surrounding greenery, creating a space to relax and hunker down in front of the gas fire all year round.

The master suite is a retreat with bespoke joinery in the elegant walk-in-wardrobe, rimu timber batten cladding on the ceiling and end wall creating a connection with nature, and a stunning ensuite.

The designer kitchen itself is a chef’s paradise with two ovens, a coffee machine and expansive bench space. It has a separate butlers pantry with two fridges and a second dishwasher.

A beautiful home that was a welcome landing pad after a long travel day.
This home is beautiful and very accessible to the town of Christchurch and surrounding attractions. My children loved the pool and the kitchen was very user friendly and spacious. The only complaint was that there were not many hangers in each room and limited towels. The showers leaked on the floor and we needed to use the towels to dry the floors and ensure they would be safe given that they were concrete and slippery when wet. I would definitely recommend this home for a family (which we were) or a few couples.
