Newfields Country Retreat - incl bfst

A delightful rural property with very welcoming hosts provided a relaxing stay during our month long trip of the South Island.

We stopped here for one night after flying from New York to Christchurch. Peaceful and restful small-farm setting helped greatly with jet lag. The cottage was lovely and squeaky clean. Our hostess Max was friendly and cordial.

Very relaxing. Everything we needed was there. Our dog had a great time too.

Being an animal lover the pets were a wonderful addition to this property. Owner and pets could not have been more welcoming. The cottage is very well appointed with everything you might want and more. A very short drive from Christchurch but it feels like you've gone miles into the country - getting away from everything almost on your back door if you're a Christchurch person, and a wonderful break from the city if you're a visitor to Christchurch

Fantastic country cottage beside main farmhouse. Super nice hosts.

This place was clean quiet with ecellent hosts

Hosts were great and amenities everything and more than expected.

A very pleasant and restful place to stay while doing business in Rangiora. Great hosts. Loved the calves and the dogs.

Just an outstanding stay with wonderful hosts who have created a warm and creative atmosphere inside and out. We felt hugely welcomed. …and our dog Elton had the time of his life—he arrived back home happily exhausted!

lovely little cottage with everything that a couple could need for a getaway. The local pub was a bonus for some yummy cheap meals but with all of the fantastic facilities in the cottage, there is no need to go out if you don't want to. The special touches such as the home stewed plums for breakfast were lovely touch. would definitely recommend this spot to others.

Lovely location. Great dogs we really enjoyed having them around.

We enjoyed a very relaxing stay in the lovely appartment. Max and Steve are super hosts!They are very respectful of the guests' privacy, open to questions and happy to share a chat with a good sense of humor. The garden is lovely to walk in or to sit and watch the animals and the surroundings. The dogs, Bailey and Digby, are great friends, well behaved, obedient and sociable. We were guests for three nights and would have liked to stay for a month.

Nice comfy place, cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. Really nice outdoor area. Very welcoming.

Loved our stay. Max and Steve super friendly and helpful , wonderful fruit and really good coffee for breakfast. Loved meeting Digby and Bailey too, with added bonus of a garden and paddock wander, new chicks and bonkers Doug.

Highly recommend staying at this beautiful semi-rural spot. Digby and Bailey (dogs) made our trip super homely - and the hosts are very generous with details like gum boots for exploring, books, and breakfast food.

Beautiful countryside retreat. Great hosts. Our property greeters Bailey and Digby just the best. Bed super comfy, cottage had everything you needed . No sharing of facilities, self contained with beautiful free range eggs available. Hosts super welcoming. Sit outside and watch the stars. We will be back.
