Discover Peel Forest Just a couple of hours from Christchurch lies the tranquil village of Peel Forest and its wonderful native bush. It’s a place to get away from it all and where you can wake up to the stillness of the forest and the sound of birdsong. Bounded by the Rangitata River to the East and the Little Mount Peel to the West, Peel Forest is a remnant of a what once was a huge swathe of podocarp forest on the foothills of the Southern Alps. The 773 hectare scenic reserve park is a home to a multitude of fauna and flora. Native birds such a kereru, bellbirds, tomtits, robins, rifleman and warblers can be seen in the forest, and sometimes you may even spot the odd karearea (native falcon) above the bushline. Majestic and ancient kahikatea, totara and matai dominate the bush, but you can also find a wealth of ferns, tree fuchsia and other broadleaf shrubs under the canopy.

Our self-contained apartment is just 20 minutes from the ski slopes of Mt Hutt and Mt Sunday, the breathtaking location of Edoras in 'Lord of the Rings'.

The cottage is on a working farm, with deer, cattle and sheep on your doorstep. We ask that you don’t go in the paddocks on farm, but take advantage of the many public roads that run through it if you want to have a look!

Willowbrook Cottage is close to the mountains and has great rural views. It is near Te Moana Gorge which offers beautiful walks, bike riding and numerous swimming holes. It is set in a large beautiful garden. It is good for couples, solo adventurers, business people and families. A perfect escape from it all.

It is an 1860's farm cottage and is very peaceful if a little quirky in places. There is a log fire as well as electric heaters to keep you cosy. Limited internet but no mobile coverage or TV reception. There is a TV set and DVD player and a good supply of DVDs. No shower but full size metal bath to relax in. Parents with very young children please note NONE of the bedrooms are in close proximity to each other. There are two rooms between each bedroom. Also the single bedroom has a curtain instead of a door.

Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, overlooking the Canterbury plains and the foothills of the Southern Alps in the distance, you will find the perfect place for your stay in Geraldine.

Enjoy your own sunny, private bedroom with a queen size bed, use of shared toilet and bathroom with another housemate. Enjoy the views of the mountains from the privacy of your room or you're most welcome to come join us in the common living area where we spend most of our time in the evening when we are at home. In the mornings, watch the sunrise over across the canterbury plains while enjoying breakfast and watch the alpacas stroll around the paddock. If we are around (as we work during the day) we will be out and about doing routine chores. If you are a keen helper, we wouldnt mind an extra pair of hands and you could probably become buddies with the alpacas. During the winter months, stay warm, enjoy the fire and watch some netflix or just mingle over a cup of hot beverage (or a glass of wine if you prefer)
