Arariri River Rest Su
Escape the mundane routines of the city and unwind at Arariri River Rest! The ultimate tiny house NZ getaway located on a 17-acre small holding with the L2 river running along two boundaries, ideal for trout, whitebait, and eel fishing. Along with abundant birdlife such as pheasants, plovers, quips, ducks, and white swans on-site to keep you company. We also farm beef on a small scale, so there are steers and a few chickens.
The Space:
Arariri River Rest is located in a small rural town in Springston, Canterbury. SItuated on a small paddock facing the river, next to a large weeping willow, just 22 minutes away from the nearest Christchurch accommodation. Nearby Port Hills, Christchurch Adventure Park, Hagley Park North, and Halswell Quarry are just a few of the attractions in the area.
A cozy 155 square-foot tiny home with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. The bathroom, however, follows ecologically sustainable principles, including an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste-holding tank, hand basin, and shower (gas heated for hot showers) for your use.
