About this property

MARAMA COTTAGE 2bdrm country charm — home away from home 15 min to CBD

Welcome to Marama Cottage— our slice of heaven. We love watching the seasons transition on our small organic farm. Come visit our animals, have some farm fresh eggs, and try some world class walnuts. At ours, you are only 15 mins from the city but feel like you are worlds away from it all. With 2 cozy bedrooms that comfortably sleep up to 6, toys for the kids, tv, free wifi, laundry, and all the amenities you could need taken care of, staying with us is truly like finding a home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Caitlin

Host profile image
We are a Kiwi-American family who moved to Christchurch in 2018. We have been slowly transitioning our small farm to be fully organic, and love the outdoors! We love sharing our slice of paradise with people.

Why they chose this property

Christchurch has everything on offer all the time… you can ski in the morning and have a beach picnic for dinner. The natural beauty that surrounds this area is literally breathtaking, and there is so much more to explore just a bit further afield. It’s the perfect springboard for adventure and culture and we absolutely love it.

What makes this property unique

Our property is located in a triangle of more populated areas making it very convenient. We are never more than 5 mins from a cafe or restaurant, but our property itself feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere. Our hectares of established gardens make our idyllic slice extremely private and protected.
