From its exclusive spot nestled on the hillside you have sweeping views out to sea, over the city to the alps & into the port hills. The Huntsbury Hideaway is a boutique 2-bedroom cottage that can accommodate up to 4 people in two luxuriously furnished queen bedrooms, complete with wardrobes. Each room has its own unique view. The sumptuously lit bathroom boasts a large shower under a skylight. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to create a full meal, heat up takeaways or simply have a wine and cheese platter. Enjoy delicious antioxidant rich drinking water on tap from the Kangen machine water filter. Relax on the couch in the lounge, a serene space, with large bifold doors that can be opened onto the verandah to really soak in the expansive views. On a sunny day, the outdoor table and chairs on the verandah provide the perfect cool spot to enjoy food and drinks and soak up the view. Stepping down from the verandah is a courtyard surrounded by a garden of natives and fruit trees. The cottage is built to passive house standards for comfort in all seasons and has a ventilation system to ensure a pleasant temperature and good air circulation. There is also a heat pump/air conditioning unit to ensure you can heat or cool the space on the rare occasions that it is required. Location: The Hideaway is located on Huntsbury hill overlooking Christchurch City, with stunning views out to sea. Wake up to the sun rising over the ocean and prepare for a day of relaxation or adventure. There are an abundance of activities right on your doorstep from our secluded spot. \* There is a bus stop at the gate which takes you directly into the city centre where you can explore the many restaurants, earthquake memorial, Riverside Market, the Art Centre, Art Gallery, The Museum and Botanic Gardens, or take a ride on the Tram. \* Huntsbury reserve, just a short walk up the road, you will find mountain biking, walking and running tracks which will take you up to the summit road, where you will have breathtaking views over Governer’s Bay and, and access to the Traverse track which leads you west toward the Christchurch Adventure Park or East towards Rapaki Track and out to Godley Head. \* Tussock Hill Vineyard & Cellar Door Restaurant is a 3 minute drive uphill to the top of Huntsbury Ave and only 1.1km or a 20 minute walk. They are only open during the day and have a menu of delicious sharing plates and locally grown wine. Other things to note: There is on street parking only for this accommodation. Access to the cottage is from the street past the main house. The cottage is located discreetly at the bottom of a large section and is private from the main house. When the cottage is booked for two people I will only make up the main bedroom and the second bedroom will be locked to reduce unnecessary extra cleaning. If you need two separate rooms for two individuals please let me now when you book so that I can make up both rooms. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport -
