This is a well appointed, very welcoming apartment. Private and quiet, very comfortable. Having some fresh bread and a few basic groceries available is a lovely touch.

This way above and beyond what we expected. The hosts left homemade bread for us, bacon and eggs. Everything we needed. It was such a beatiful break away from the noise of town life. We wish we were there for longer. The night sky was a dream, the...

2 bedroom, modern, fully equipped stand alone apartment style house in small settlement. Large private deck area with outdoor charcoal BBQ/fire pit. Big night skys. 500 meters from the ocean at the base of Banks Peninsula. 10 klm to Little River (Bar/restaurant, cafe's, art gallery) 45 minute drive from central Christchurch and 45 minutes to Akaroa. Collect gem stones or fish from the beach. Adjacent to a bike trail that runs from Christchurch to Little River - 'The Rail Trail'. 9klm to Kaituna Golf Course.
As keen travelers ourselves we are excited to see the world but also to show off our home and the wild beachscape we live in year round. Our latest passion is hiking - recent trips include some of New Zealand's great walks and the greatest walk of them all - the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Welcome to our neck of the woods.
Birdlings Flat sits at the base of Banks Peninsular between two lakes and a wild ocean beach (too dangerous for swimming). The beach is most famous for fishing, gem stone hunting or unwinding to the sound of the breaking waves. The property is a 45min drive from Christchurch city and is 45min from the Akaroa township. 10klm to Little River cafes and a restaurant/bar. The Kaituna golf course is a 10 min drive away. within 2 hours of 2 ski fields (Porter Heights and Mount Hutt).
