About this property

Torokiki bach - a place to rejuvenate

Welcome to our little slice of paradise - Torokiki - set in the foothills of the Torlesse Tussocklands between the Kowai Bush and Lord's Bush reserves, near Springfield.

Torokiki (meaning to sprout afresh, re-establish, regrow) is the perfect place to wind down, read a book, walk through the bush reserves, or explore the wider area. The Waimakariri River, Mt Oxford, ski fields and walking and MTB tracks are all close by, while central Christchurch is only an hour away.

At the bach you'll find super-comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen with complimentary tea and plunger coffee, gas hob and outdoor pizza oven, wood burner. well-stocked bookshelves.

There's a TV with DVD player with some old favourites to watch, or play one of the many board games available. There's no wifi available so bring your smartphone for internet access - One NZ and Spark coverage is reasonable.

The bach, sleeping up to 8 in 2 doubles and 4 single bunk beds, is a separate, private wing attached to the main house, with the owners who are very quiet and private.

Relax and enjoy.
