In the rolling foothills of the Southern Alps just out of Christchurch you'll find Gunyah Country Estate. Here we indulge our guests in the understated grace and style of true quality in one of New Zealand's grand old rural homesteads.If your wish is to experience the true New Zealand of mountains, scenery and outdoor pursuits, you couldn’t find a more central base than Gunyah.

Set amidst beautiful gardens and woodland walks, Gunyah’s tranquil surroundings and gracious accommodation provide a magnificent retreat for the discerning traveller who appreciates quality, culture, heritage and service.

WITH JUST 5 SUITES, Gunyah is a haven of warm and discreet hospitality just 45 minutes from the city centre. Your hosts take pride in their magnificent estate with its extraordinary surrounding countryside.

Every room features a private ensuite bathroom. The beds are deliciously comfortable and are dressed in the best Italian linen with snug wool underlays and electric blankets on all beds. All rooms are light, warm and sunny and have distinctly different views of the alps, the hills and the surrounding countryside.

In the dining room at Gunyah you will be treated to the sumptuous tastes of the freshest local fare prepared by our European chef. Every detail and refinement is catered to, so that you can relax and enjoy the delights of your meal in a warm and convivial environment.
This is what our guests have to say about us:
We found our stay highly enjoyable. The
service and room was just wonderful.
We had one of the most memorable dining
experiences (and trust me we have had a
few). The combination of ambience, love
for detail and divine cooking was just
amazing. This was followed by a
wonderful nights sleep and yet another
memorable breakfast. When have you last
had starched linen napkins and fine
silver on your breakfast table? The
hosts are to be applauded for their
level of sophistication. We hope to get
another chance to stay at Gunyah soon.

Things To Do Gunyah is a wonderful base for many activities and attractions. In less than 30 minutes you can feel the crunch of snow under your skis at Mount Hutt Skifield, or see your fishing rod tighten with the tug of a high country salmon. You can relax on one of the world's most famous train journeys - The Tranz Alpine, or tramp or bike through the untouched alpine scenery of Arthur's Pass. For those who can abandon the luxury of their beds, it's just a short drive to see the sunrise hot air ballooning - the spectacular views over the farmland from the mountains to the sea will take your breath away. There are four golf courses near Gunyah Country Estate, and if you've still got time to spare why not try jetboating, horse trekking or some of the many scenic drives that surround Gunyah.

Your hosts take pride in the beautiful surroundings of their lodge. They are enthusiastic and experienced in planning and booking itineraries that will stay in your memory forever. For more information please contact us.
