About this property

Bringing the countryside home

Experience the warmth of a cosy, private cottage set amidst a breathtaking 10-acre farm and make friends with the friendly farm animals. Sip on a glass of exquisite New Zealand wine while soaking in the beauty of the stunning scenery from the sun-drenched verandah.
Conveniently located 20.6km from CHCH airport, 22km from CHCH Central, and 66.5km from the quaint town of Akaroa, this is the perfect spot for visitors to Lincoln, which is only 2.5km away, whether for business or leisure.

The space
Welcome to Willowtree Cottage, where you can unwind in comfort while enjoying the sweet sounds of birdsong. Our luxurious master bedroom features a plush king-size bed adorned with premium Wallace Cotton linen, ensuring a restful slumber. For your convenience, both bedside tables are equipped with phone chargers.

Bedroom Two is perfect for younger guests, ( or a single adult), featuring a cosy king single bed, a selection of books, and a variety of toys to keep them entertained. You'll also find puzzles stored in the chocolate ottoman.

We take pride in providing a fully functional and well-equipped kitchen, complete with a fridge/freezer, microwave, electric oven, and dishwasher. Should you need to do laundry during your stay, the washing machine and washing liquid are located in a bathroom cupboard.

To ensure your comfort, we have installed a wall-mounted heat pump/aircon unit in the main living room, and ample storage is available to keep your living space tidy.

Our interior is tastefully decorated to a high standard, featuring beautiful artwork and a selection of books for you to peruse. As a special treat, we offer complimentary snacks and drinks upon your arrival because we understand the importance of a good snack and refreshing beverage after a long journey.

We also provide a variety of tea and coffee options, and we're happy to accommodate all milk preferences, including oat and almond milk. Simply let us know your preference before your arrival, and we'll have it waiting for you in the fridge.

Please sit back, relax, and enjoy your stay. (Neon is included in your stay)
If there's anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable, don't hesitate to reach out. We're committed to ensuring your stay is as enjoyable as possible.

Guest access
You have access to the whole cottage, verandah and surrounding fully fenced secure yard.
Other things to note
There are a few important things to keep in mind. Firstly, it is possible for travel delays and cancellations to occur due to sickness, bereavement, injury or weather. To ensure you are protected, it is always recommended to purchase Travel Insurance when travelling domestically or internationally.

Secondly, during the Summer months, pets are welcome, but please let us know ahead of time if you plan on bringing your furry friend so we can ensure their safety around our livestock.

Lastly, we have a few guidelines for pets on the property. While we love our animals, we ask that your pet stays on the floor and refrains from jumping on furniture or sleeping in the bed with you.

It's important to note that we have three dogs and three cats that also call this Blackwood House home.

Cute country cottage.
