Expansive Luxury Country Escape
Summary: We have not shied away from modern luxuries. This is considered New Zealand's smartest home, hidden TVs, motorised blinds, full light automation & ultrafast WIFI.
Feed the pony, alpaca's, fish, ducks, pig and you can experience country life while only being 15 minutes from the centre of the city. Enjoy the 2x hot tubs under the stars, watch TV while relaxing in the fire-pit. Amazon Alexa voice control throughout the home.
The Space: Constructed in 2018, this incredible and contemporary 400-square-meter residence is nestled on a sprawling 5,000-square-meter property. It's conveniently located approximately 15 minutes from both the airport and the city center. You'll have the unique opportunity to hand-feed a delightful array of animals including ducks, a pony, alpacas, and even goldfish.
Immerse yourself in the marvels of modern automation complete with full voice activation. Come and unwind in the contemporary countryside charm of this farmhouse. Take a seat in one of the two hot tubs while observing the tranquil grazing of cattle, or gather around the in-ground fire pit with a glass of red wine.
Inside, the house offers two separate TV areas - one for adults and one for kids. The secure in-ground trampoline is a delightful feature for children to enjoy.
Please take note that there is one full bathroom with a toilet, two separate toilets, and an additional shower within the main house. The Master bedroom also boasts a full ensuite.
We kindly ask that you be considerate of the owners who occasionally stay in the completely separate and private cottage. Both dwellings offer a high level of privacy, and the only shared space is the parking area.
Lastly, we request that you refrain from loud noise after 10 pm. Ample parking is available, including space for a large RV.
Guest Access: During your stay, you'll have exclusive access to all the amenities and spaces within the property.
The Neighborhood: Prebbleton is a suburb located in the southwest of Christchurch, New Zealand. It is known for its country-style living and peaceful atmosphere. With its mix of rural and residential properties, it offers a great escape from the busy city life while still being close enough to take advantage of all the amenities and facilities Christchurch has to offer. The community is close-knit, friendly, and offers a safe and secure environment for families. If you are looking for a relaxed and quiet lifestyle, Prebbleton is definitely worth considering.
Getting Around: Property has helicopter access. Restaurants and hotel 5 mins from the property, 15 mins from the airport and central city.
Other Things to Note: Plenty of secure on-site parking. There is a separate private cottage located at the back corner of the property. The only shared area is the carpark, so at times, guests from the cottage may also be using the parking.

Ohana support service appalling
The property advertised an amazing stay and provided no help or solutions for the numerous broken appliances. It was a major disappointment and they won't rectify

Room for everyone
We stayed here with our bridal party during our wedding weekend. Everyone was blown away by it and the kids had so much space to run and play. The only downside is I kept having to hear “you could have just got married here” all weekend
