About this property
Beach house relaxing retreat
The house is situated up a private right of way and is sheltered by a hedge. It faces the Waikuku reserve and is a 3 minute walk from the beach.
Waikuku beach is a lovely beach community. Great sandy beach patrolled by life guards in summer. The estuary is very scenic and full of bird life. Across the reserve a coffee cart operates in summer - stroll over and enjoy a drink. Grab the bikes and cycle to Pegasus Town (10 minutes) along the bike track and grab some food and a coffee in the township. There is a resort type golf course at Pegasus along with general store.
Alternatively you can cycle the 2km to the Brick Mill complex for cafe food and coffee. A craft shop and gallery are at the same complex.
The holiday spa town of Hanmer Springs is a hour and a half drive away. Kaikoura (seals, dolphins and whale watching) is a 2 hour drive north along the coast. Wineries are 20 - 40 minutes north of Waikuku. Christchurch is a 35 - 40 minute drive south. Rangiora is the nearest large town and this is a 10 minute drive.
Ideally you will have a car - alternatively there are approximately 6 suburban buses each day to and from the town of Kaiapoi and on to the central city.
A large deck at the rear catches the morning sun.
At the front you get views of Mount Grey and the afternoon sun on the deck there.
