Holiday House with Style - Geraldine Retreat

This 3 bedroomed house is ideally situated for a wonderful family holiday or getaway. It is only an hour and a half drive from Christchurch and a perfect stop over on your way to the mountains and lakes. Geraldine offers a wide range of cafes, wine bars and restaurants and even has it's own cinema and upgraded heated outdoor swimming pool. There is a children's playground and skate park only 2 minutes away and there is also a golf course, tennis courts and some beautiful bush walks.
From the main street it is a mere five-minute stroll into Talbot Forest - a native forest with its breathtaking views over plains and mountains. Geraldine is an ideal spot to base yourself for day trips to Peel Forest, Te Moana gorge, Mt. Cook or fishing on the local rivers. The Rangitata River (home of world class white-water rafting and salmon fishing) is not far away. Here you can see some of the most spectacular alpine and high country scenery in New Zealand. It’s not difficult to see why Lord of the Rings producer Peter Jackson chose this superb valley as an important location in his films.

Golf Weekend
The six of us (all males) were completely happy with the accommodation with plenty of room and layout of the house suits our requirements perfectly. We will be trying to rebook this house for the same time next year as we are all there for a golf tournament.

Geraldine retreat
We loved our stay in this surprisingly spacious house. Nice and cool on scorching hot days. Great location - just a short wander through the park to the town centre. Toys to amuse the kids and a couch for everyone!! Just note that the bookabach site says there is a pool and there is not one - just so you aren’t disappointed’n

Convenient and comfortable
We only stayed here overnight but the house was very comfortable, spacious and close to town via a walkway and bridge over the nearby river. This house is set up for families and larger groups too, not just for a couple. Very quiet and nice outlook onto the garden. We would stay here again.

Great place that can accommodate a large family
A very spacious home that is only a short drive to downtown Geraldine. The house had a very large open kitchen, dining and sitting area. Beds were a bit soft and linens were extra. Nice outside decks on the side and back for sitting out.

Excellent holiday home!
This was one of the best houses we have ever stayed in. Very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. But still retained its character as a lovely old villa. We totally enjoyed our stay!
