About this Holiday House

1.3km from Terrace Downs Golf Resort, close to Rakaia River and Lake Coleridge for fishing, 45 minutes to get to Mt Hutt skifield, close to many other activities. Great family holiday home accommodation or for a weekend break for two (only 1 hour from Christchurch). A two bedroom cottage which sleeps six (maximum), it is fully self contained and well equipped, with stunning views of Mount Hutt and the surrounding hills. It is off the road so is private and quiet other than farm activities nearby. Very sunny and warm, with a large fenced lawn area, sand pit, and plenty of room to park (including boats), car port for car, log fire and heat pump for winter heating (wood supplied). Other close by activities include jet boating, fishing, ballooning, horse riding, and Methven village all within 20 minutes. Please note - sorry but no pets as the cottage is situated in the middle of a working farm. Check out our Facebook page.

Jill
Really peaceful and quiet house with amazing views of the mountains. Log burner makes it very cosy!
Response from Owner
Thank you Jill. Yes, the mountains look stunning at the moment. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Ken
We greatly enjoyed our two night stay in this well appointed cottage with a beautiful garden and spectacular view of Mt Hutt. Cathy welcomed us with treats to celebrate our anniversary and introduced herself as a very warm neighbor while we enjoyed the cosy log burner and large collection of DVDs. Thank you for another special memory.
Response from Owner
Thank you! So nice to meet you both and glad you picked Benlea for your anniversary. All the best and hope to see you again soon.
