Description :
A luxury lodge for just 10 guests in an historic 1866 homestead built of hand cut limestone blocks, in mature park like grounds beside the scenic Waipara Gorge, set on a high country sheep station (ranch) just 45 minutes from Christchurch airport and close to Waipara wineries.

About The Property:
The heritage homestead has two guest living rooms, several verandas and its stone-walled courtyard is for our guests' exclusive use. Each room in the house, including the guest bedrooms, is elegantly furnished with antiques, wonderful paintings, richly coloured oriental rugs, ornaments and objects d'art, beautiful period furniture and luxuriously textured soft furnishings.

The South Island of New Zealand offers travellers spectacular landscape as well as some of the most exciting sporting adventures found anywhere. Claremont lies in the Hurunui North Canterbury region in an area of the South Island blessed with exceptionally beautiful and unspoiled topography combined with many unusual and unique geological features. The unspoiled landscape is stunning with up to 90 million years of geological evolution on display - including a conservation area with native bush, pretty waterfall and a fossilised oyster bed, a stunning limestone escarpment and the dramatic Waipara Gorge as well as the unique and fascinating God4s marbles.

Take advantage of the many and varied places to go, things to see and activities to do around the Canterbury region - it has something for everyone!
