About this farm stay rental
Set in the heart of Canterbury’s high country, only one hour from Christchurch city, this spacious farm stay is perfectly positioned for year-round adventure and relaxation. With three ski fields nearby — Mt Hutt, Porter Heights and Mt Olympus — plus golf courses at Terrace Downs, Glentunnel and Methven, outdoor lovers are truly spoilt for choice.
Spend your days exploring the walking tracks of the Lake Coleridge Basin, soaking at Opuke Methven Hot Pools, mountain biking at Mt Hutt Bike Park, or enjoying winter skating at the Staveley ice rink. Dining at Fable Terrace Downs Resort is just 5km away, making evenings effortless.
On the property, the farmyard provides a snapshot of authentic farm life. Families can wander kilometres of farm tracks, young children can play freely in the large sandpit, and everyone can relax in the outdoor living area surrounded by an expansive garden.
Inside, a large log fire is the heart of the living space. Fully insulated with ducted heating throughout the main building and heaters in each bedroom, it’s a cosy retreat no matter the season.
Available for guest's use is the main house and two adjoining cabins. The house sleeps 8 people. The cabins can sleep an additional 4 persons. All beds can be set as doubles or up to 12 singles. There is also a sofa divan in the main living area. Three bathrooms are available in the main house, one is an ensuite. All groups, no matter how small, are given exclusive access, no groups renting the property will be expected to share with other renters.

Amazing location, beautiful log fire and overall the accommodation was what we wanted, 1 hour from Christchurch airport with great views. Great country feel.

The house was Magnificent! It was huge, comfortable, very well equipped and set in a beautiful location. It was very relaxing and a real treat to be in. We would very happily return.Our host, Lyn, was friendly and very easy to communicate with. Highly recommended.

This was a wonderful place for eleven of our family to stay and be able to head up to Mt. Hutt to ski. The Shearers Quarters is very well set up for sleeping and communal areas. As it was really cold we spent most of our time indoors when not skiing or hiking so could not enjoy what looked to be a lovely outdoor area and garden.Although quite close to the main home we were completely private. Liz popped in to say hello on the first night to make sure all was well. She was happy to text with walking suggestions and information. All in all a wonderful spot for a family holiday. Age range 5 - 75.
