Looking for a holiday home with character and history? Look no further than Islay Cottage that features all the comforts of a modern holiday home, coming from an extensive restoration. Built in 1851 by Thomas Kent, who arrived onboard one of the first four ships to Canterbury, the ''Cressy'', Islay Cottage is listed as a grade two heritage home.

This 3-bedroom holiday home is a beautiful cottage perched on a hill overlooking the harbour of Lyttelton and the beautiful surrounding hills. The living room indoors has a comfortable living space as well as a smart TV. Cooking will be a pleasure whilst being able to enjoy the views through the windows.
