Hurunui River Retreat is the perfect place for a relaxing break.
In a peaceful rural valley, nestled at the base of stunning bluffs near the banks of the river is the Hurunui River Retreat. With little more than an hour’s drive from Christchurch you could be taking a relaxing break in a secluded valley that feels hours away from the demands of daily life.
Pip & Burton invite you to stay in one of their architecturally designed cottages, Flax & Tussock, both with two cosy bedrooms, living and kitchen areas and bathrooms. Each cottage is a short walk from the Hurunui River with uninterrupted views across the Hurunui plains to the foothills of the Southern Alps.
In summer, take a short stroll through the paddock to swim in the river; in winter, make the most of the nearby ski fields or duck out for some fishing at the renowned Hurunui and Waiau rivers. The Retreat also neighbours some of Waipara's most successful vineyards, including Black Estate and Pegasus Bay just 30 minutes away, both wonderful restaurant and cellar door destinations.
Each cottage has a stunning fully appointed kitchen for self-catering.
