- Ample Parking Onsite
- Onsite Restrooms
- The Scene:
- Sample rural New Zealand at its best: off the tourist trail and in one of the world’s most spectacular coastal locations lies Annandale, a 4000-acre sheep and cattle farm that offers exclusive use of four distinctive luxury villas with relaxed Kiwi-style informality. We offer guests an opportunity to relax in total privacy and make the experience their own - explore the spectacular farm with its 10 kilometres of coastline and connect with the surroundings, share precious time with friends and family, and indulge in the finest local produce.
- Design:
- Set amid a rugged landscape of hills and bays on Banks Peninsula, only an hour’s drive from the city of Christchurch on New Zealand’s South Island, the historic farm features a restored five-bedroom homestead with magnificent gardens and state-of-the-art recreation facilities, including infinity pool, spa pool and tennis court. The three other private and secluded villas each have their own distinct character: the romance and contemporary architecture of Seascape in its own bay, the historic hilltop charm of Shepherd’s Cottage, and the stunning seaside location of Scrubby Bay, a large cedar-clad beach house for gatherings of up to 14 people.
- Standout Venue Features:
- While we offer every luxury and comfort on the inside, it is what’s on the outside that really sets Annandale apart. Guests can experience a 4WD farm tour, mountain biking, hiking, or perhaps even sheep and cattle mustering. The turquoise waters surrounding the property are perfect for water activities, including guided kayaking, paddle-boarding, sailing and fishing charters. Or take a nature cruise and see native wildlife, including famed Hectors dolphins, the rarest and smallest dolphin in the world. There are on-site farm-to-table style cooking lessons to sharpen your culinary skills, or you can fly over the area by helicopter for a bird’s eye view of the incredible landscape.
- Annandale Homestead:
- The Annandale homestead has been lovingly restored to create a luxurious five-bedroom home in a private and tranquil setting. Elegant rooms, shaded verandahs, fifteen acres of gardens and exclusive use of the outdoor pool, spa, flood-lit tennis court and fitness centre, make the house a great place for coming together as a group.
