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.

Two mountain bikes, bbq and a couple of boogie boards are available for guests to use.
