Escape to our serene hilltop cabin, where luxury meets comfort. Wake to sweeping views over the Canterbury Plains, Banks Peninsula, and beyond, then drift off at night to the glow of Christchurch city lights. Unwind in elegant, modern spaces and savor the tranquility of countryside living. Thoughtfully designed for relaxation, with cozy touches throughout. Perfect for romantic getaways, peaceful retreats, and memorable stays just moments from the city.

The space
This modern split-level, open-plan cabin offers fully self-contained one-bedroom luxury. Complete with a full kitchen - oven, microwave, induction cooktop, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer - plus a warm fireplace and a beautifully appointed, luxurious bathroom. Equipped with Smart TV and WiFi.

Perched on a hilltop, the cabin is exposed to the ever-changing elements of nature. Experience the beauty of snow-dusted mornings, the sound of wind sweeping across the landscape, and the peaceful atmosphere when low clouds roll in and wrap the hill in mist. These changing conditions are all part of the charm, creating a unique and memorable stay in every season.

Guest access
You’ll enjoy a private entrance to The Gables, with the cabin set on its own mountain contour, distinct and separate from the main house.

When you arrive, you can enjoy an easy, stress-free self check-in that lets you settle in at your own pace. Simply step inside, and let the cabin wrap you in comfort. Take a deep breath, unpack, and make yourself at home—your cozy getaway starts the moment you walk through the door.

Other things to note
Parking is easy and stress-free, with plenty of spacious off-street parking available right on the property. Whether you’re arriving with multiple vehicles, outdoor gear, or just ready to unwind, you’ll have room to park comfortably and head straight inside to relax and enjoy your stay.

Due to the summer weather we have had, some minor landscaping is yet to be completed. This will be finished in between guests.
