Great spot for a family weekend away

Beautifully located next to Mt Richardson DOC area with lots of forest walks at your doorstep. The property is huge and great for adventures for little kids (away from screens). The house is warm and beautifully recently decorated. Comfortable beds and nice bedding. There is no internet available and therefore no smart TV access (not necessarily a bad thing but notable). Would love to stay again in the summer months.

home from home in town

So nice to stay in a "real" house. Comfortable and charming for us and our fur baby. So convenient for town facilities. So good, we have already booked it for our next trip to Christchurch in a month's time.

Lyddington

It was a real privilege to stay at Lyddington. The cottage is comfortable and well provisioned, the host amiable and the setting something that Capability Brown could have imagined. It was truly a charming and relaxing time

A north Canterbury oasis

This is a lovely wee cabin in a very pretty forest setting. It's very comfortable and well kitted out. The hosts John and Marion are absolutely charming and very welcoming. Highly recommended.

Perfect get away

Fantastic large property with all the comforts that you need to have an enjoyable stay. From the Easter Egg treats that were left for us to the fire all ready to go, we couldn't fault this property at all.

Just divine and convenient

The property is beautiful. It is peaceful and a stone throw a way from the hustle and bustle in the city . I travelled everyday from the airport for work. I looked forward to coming (home). Doug will also give you a list of cost effective must sees around the area. Thank you for having me.
