This home was co designed, built & developed by the owner from 1986 on.
La vie en rose cottage was named by the owner's mother, an accomplished pianist after a famous Edith Piaf French song which seemed most appropriate for this historic French settled town. It has continued to be well maintained, renovated & landscaped ever since by the owner, as is his other holiday home at Moananui Lodge on the waterfront of Purau By in Lyttelton Harbour.
In 2021, the interior began to be redecorated in an attractive themed French cottage style with improved furniture, new curtaining and blinds and new quality framed French themed pictures throughout & an awesome chandelier from a French Hunting lodge.
Double glazing & extra insulation measures were also carried out in 2021 & together with its logfire ensures its guests are kept comfortable warm and cosy all year round .
The cottage is available, like the Purau holiday home ,for short term rental for guests between May and October to apply.
In October 2022 the rest of the complete redecoration of la vie en rose cottage was undertaken and accomplished in style. Youll love the result!
