About the host
Hosted by Anne
Semi-retired and now splitting my time between the bach and my home in Christchurch.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with the garden! I was planning to retire to Kaikoura but decided to buy something closer to Christchurch.
What makes this property unique
I love the views looking out to the garden and watching the sheep graze in the paddocks.
