Wonderful spot in rural inland Canterbury
Tons of space and all amenities make this house a wonderful place to stay. A very pleasant rural spot with nice mountain outlook. Friendly and very helpful owner. The house is immaculate and has everything needed for stay of any duration. Oxford township (restaurants, bars & galleries) is close, as is the Waimakariri Gorge. All up a great stay.

We enjoyed this VRBO. It is in an idyllic country setting. So peaceful and relaxing. Janette was a fabulous host. The property is exactly as described and was spotlessly clean. We highly recommend it.

Beautiful location
Janette and Simon have a magic little spot with glorious glimpses of mountain ranges. We loved our stay in the cottage. It was so cosy with the wood stove and cooking facilities were great. Perfect location to do what we wanted which is walk in the forests and view the mountains. Oxford is a lovely town for coffee and meals. Great Art Gallery there. Good supermarket.

Very warm and tidy.
Lovely hosts and Cottage. Will be even better when there is perhaps some privacy screening from the main house and maybe some outdoor seating.

Absolutely perfect getaway with everything you'd need
We had an absolutely wonderful stay and regret we couldn't extend our stay there. We will definitely stay here again in the future if we happen to be in the area. It was clean, cozy and well kept and organized. The homeowners are super friendly and the small town of Oxford is just minutes away. This is a modern homestead with everything you would need for a perfect getaway. Thank you again for hosting us.
