This charming rustic mud-brick cottage sits in a large hillside country garden with spectacular views of the mountains and surrounding farmland. Lyddington Cottage is only 25 km from Christchurch International Airport and 11 kms from Rangiora township. Guests have 20 hectares of hills and orchard over which to roam while garden lovers can ramble in Lyddington Garden which holds one of the largest old-rose collections in the Southern Hemisphere. This cosy sun-bathed cottage has two downstairs bedrooms, one with a door leading into the communal bathroom and the other with a queen bed. We are able to accomodate overflow on request: upstairs in the mezzanine loft is a privately appointed double bed which can cosily sleep 2 but probably better for one, as well as a comfortable sofa/day- bed. A wood-burner with ample wood supplies warms the cottage during the winter months with a heat pump as back-up. An outdoor table and chairs and outdoor sofas enable you to enjoy the sun at all times of the day. There are a number of ponds in the surrounding gardens and farmland which are not fenced and this should be noted if bringing small children.
