A little over 60 minutes from Christchurch the Castle Hill Basin and Craigieburn range offer fantastic summer and winter recreation; walking, fishing, biking, climbing, caving and skiing. Ski Areas within 15 minutes drive include Porters and Cheeseman - great family fields, or for the more adventurous the club fields of Broken River and Craigieburn are 20 minutes away. Castle Hill Rocks offer great bouldering and climbing and the tramping in the area is outstanding. We also now have a fantastic new mountain bike track that can link you to the well known Craigieburn ride. If however you are looking for a slightly slower pace this is a stunning area just to soak up, relax and unwind. The village boasts a children's playground, tennis court, petanque area and 9 hole (slightly rough) golf course.
We wish you to enjoy home from home comforts with our books, games and music and challenge you not to want to come back again!
