Whether you are an artist, or a fan of architecture this place will astound you. My husband and I were touring New Zealand last month and passed this quaint little church, we came back to take a few photos of the property and were lucky enough to get a tour.nnThe renovation of this charming church has been meticulously researched, furnishings have been lovingly chosen to show the natural beauty of the spacious interior. Hand made accents like one of a kind windows and doors have been added to make every corner of this home intimate and cozy, at the same time offering many different bedrooms and nooks for reading or just relaxing. Plush linens and curtains add to the beauty of the overall look and comfort.nnUnique home away from home, and a lovely garden on the river bank so you can enjoy the outdoors. Situated very near both Christchurch and Akaroa, many things to do on day trips.
What an amazing treasure tucked away from the city. You enter saints and feel relaxed and at ease straight away. Jase and his family have done a fantastic job making this venue into a one of a kind location. There is history and stories around every bend and a little piece of many christchirch buildings that were destroyed in the quake. I would recommend a stay to anyone looking for that something different but special.
What an incredible location and space! This place is absolutely gorgeous and would highly recommend it for events and family get togethers. The hosts are wonderful and I couldn't fault this beautiful place at all!
Beautiful building with a lot of atmosphere and character. I have been lucky enough to get a tour from Sven and then been invited to a swing dance event a couple of weeks later, which was a great night out!
