Escape in Spring

Escape in Spring with a weekend away. Venture to the coast of Banks Peninsula, escape in Mid Canterbury, or nestle into the rolling hills of Southland.

 

The Whare

THE WHARE—COLDSTREAM, CANTERBURY

If you are looking to get away from the rat race and enjoy the quiet, uncomplicated, country air, or maybe take time out on a working farm or fancy a spot of fishing in one of New Zealand’s revered trout and salmon rivers, then The Whare is the place to come. The Whare is more than a bed for the night—it’s an experience!

 

Paddy's Pod

PADDY’S POD—STAVELEY, CANTERBURY

Nestled in its own idyllic oasis, Paddy’s Pod is a self-contained off-grid curved cabin radiating charm with breathtaking views of Mt Somers and Mt Hutt. Just outside your door, a large pond, graced by the occasional swan is a serene setting for a relaxing stay.

 

The Tommy House

THE TOMMY HOUSE—LONGRIDGE NORTH, SOUTHLAND

A fusion of Scandinavian chic and bespoke craftsmanship, The Tommy House is the ultimate getaway for couples. Set amongst breathtaking views of a multi-environmentally award-winning farm in Southland.

 

Lavericks. Bay Camp

LAVERICK’S BAY CAMP—BANKS PENINSULA, CANTERBURY

With the campsite only a 15-minute meander (or 3-minute drive) down to a beautiful, secluded beach, glamping at Lavericks Bay on Banks Peninsula is something special. Rich in history, the scenic bay is set on a 1,000 hectare sheep and beef farm, which has been in the same family since the 1850s.
