This delightful cottage is new but old as it was built in part using rimu salvaged from the builder's grandfather's cottage. It has been redecorated giving a nod to the late 1890's, the time when the grandfather's original cottage was built. It was previously the family holiday home in Queenstown but was transported to Rolleston in 2020 and sited in its own section and is now set up again as a holiday home. It is fully fenced and has a colourful cottage garden. This renovated and refurbished cottage is a relaxing place to stay for a night or two while touring the South Island , or stay a bit longer and enjoy a vacation locally. It is a great base from which to visit Canterbury's attractions. The railcar to the West Coast town of Greymouth can be caught from the Rolleston Railway station for a scenic day out.
Are you older? You will enjoy the added features such as the new lounge furniture that has been tailor made to a comfortable height. The bathroom has easy access and a new higher toilet and the shallow steps to the cottage provide easy access with a handrail for safety.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be within walking distance of Foster Dog Park. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cottage.

Easy access accommodation in Rolleston.
Perfect for a family catch up - if all staying in different accom and you need your own space.
Very much a cottage theme inside and out. Had everything you needed. Ideal for a couple. Quiet and private.

a Very pleasant experience!
This property will be my go-to every time I'm traveling for business staying over in Rolleston.
It's immaculate and personal - a fully contained house in a comfortable cottage size and beautifully decorated - clean and cozy.
The location is the finest Rolleston offers in a cul-de-sac - no traffic noise disturbing your peace.
The hosts, Judy & Bruce are kind and easy to deal with.
I trust you will enjoy your stay!

A charming cottage retreat
This cottage in Rolleston is a perfect place to stay and explore the Christchurch area without being right in the city. The cottage is charming, the gardens lovely, the amenities excellent. There is nothing lacking here, and the hosts are very helpful. We would like to stay again if in the area.

The cottage is so convenient, restful and excellent value. It was our second time staying. Thanks again.
We found this cottage was a great place to stay. It has a great with all you need within the cottage. The quiet street is very relaxing as you enjoy a drink on the porch.
We would definitely recommend and will stay again.
