Sandhill Gardens Retreat, close to Rangiora, Woodend ,Kaiapoi and Pegasus.
Large modern villa with ranch sliders from all living areas to access wrap around verandah and beautiful established gardens and lawns. Enjoy the amazing sunsets and night sky gazing. Nearby Woodend beach is great for swimming in summer and the woodland beach reserve trail can be walked or biked from Woodend all the way through Pegasus to Waikuku. The home's quiet rural setting with established trees and gardens, contains an abundance of natives and introduced species including mature Rhododendrons, Camelias, Pin oaks, Maples, Dogwoods, flowering Cherries, Roses and Hydrangeas, and provides a haven for native birds. Listen for the tui , fantail , quail and pheasant's call. With a rural outlook on all sides , but 5 minutes from the main highway and just 5 - 10 minutes from Kaiapoi, Woodend and Rangiora townships. The best of both worlds!
Our second time at this property. A lovely house to have time away at. Nice places to walk to. Well equipped, always clean and tidy, comfortable beds, and nice and warm. I am sure we will be back.
A lovely well appointed house. Lots of space to relax in, comfortable beds, lovely log fire, more than sufficient bathrooms. We found it a great place for a group of friends to get together to catch up, watch movies and enjoy great food. Near the beach but some of us also enjoyed the second hand shopping in Rangiora. Very close to Christchurch. So lots to do if you don't just want to relax. A pleasant rural outlook.
This property was like staying in someone's home. There were personal touches ie fresh flowers in vases. Lots of spaces around the wrap around deck to sit either peacefully alone or joining the group.A walk around the grounds told a story of a once loved garden that still held good bones and structure.
It was lovely to stay in this beautiful home. Margaret put flowers in vases before we arrived and we could literally "stop and smell the roses". The house was big enough for me to have a break from my husband snoring - I could sleeping downstairs! Best sleep i have had in years.
