About this property
Riverside Retreat
100% refund in a Covid Lockdown situation.
This is a gorgeous timber Riverside Retreat, simply Known as "The Shack".
It's off the grid and fully self contained with most of the comforts of home.
*Solar powered lights at the flick of a switch
*Coal range which heats your water
*Chrystal clear running water for drinking and showering and yes we do have a flush loo
Take a look at our video.
The setting is Private, Peaceful and Relaxing.
The Shack is rustic and cozy.
This is as close as you will get to the 'outback' but only minutes away from the city.
Two rivers to enjoy! Both the Ashley and the Okuku for walking, swimming and fishing plus heaps of fun to be had for those with their own mountain bikes, motorbikes or horses.
Horse paddocks available @$20 per horse pn
Dogs welcome @$10 per night
Please mention when booking if you will be bringing any pets and how many as this site can only charge for one so any addition pets will need to be paid for directly to the host.
Can supply horses for guided One on One Horse Trekking thru trails and river crossings.
Clay Bird Trap Shooting experience with licensed operator.
Everything you need supplied. Contact property owner for details and pricing.
Just 10 mins to Rangiora Township for plenty of Cafes and Restaurants or head 20 mins north for a great selection of wineries.
COVID LOCKDOWNS - We have a no refund policy but in the case of a Covid Lockdown we will refund 100% of your booking.
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to clean the house and do the dishes before you leave. If you prefer, I can do the clean for you at a charge of $50, please let me know if you require this service.
