Relaxing Rural Getaway – Near Kaiapoi Lakes, Room to Roam

Tucked away down a tree lined driveway in Kaiapoi, this relaxed country farmhouse is the perfect place to unwind with friends or family. Just a short 15–20 minute drive from Christchurch Airport, it’s close to the city but feels like a real rural escape.

The house has four comfy bedrooms—one with a super king split bed downstairs (which can be made into two singles on request), one king bed, one queen bed, and one king single. There’s plenty of space to spread out and get cosy.

This is a working farm, so from time to time, friendly folks may be around to check on the animals or tend to the flower market garden. It’s all part of the charm—and guests are welcome to enjoy the peaceful vibe while being mindful of farm activity.

Upstairs has three of the bedrooms and a full bathroom with complimentary toiletries. You’ll also get lovely views over the gardens and paddocks from up there.

Downstairs, you’ll find the super king bedroom, another bathroom, a comfy living room, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. There are two fireplaces to keep you toasty in winter, plus extra heaters throughout. Head outside and you’ll find loads of space to explore—there’s a big backyard, deck, country-style gardens, and plenty of spots to sit, relax, or play.

You’re also really close to great local spots—just 5 minutes to Woodend, 7 minutes to Kaiapoi, 10 minutes to The Pines Beach, and 8 minutes to Woodend Beach. Want to head out for a meal or drink? The Brewpub on the Kaiapoi River (where the River Queen is docked) is only 4km down the road.

The house is attached to another 3-bedroom home, which might have other guests during your stay, but there’s still plenty of privacy and space to enjoy.

We can also set up two fold-out beds for extra guests—just let us know when you book.

If you're after a relaxing rural break with space for the whole family (and a bit of farm life thrown in), this is the spot!
