Christchurch City is also known as the Garden City. It is because at the centre of the CBD, there is a huge park, it’s called Hagley Park. We often go here for a bike or just a chill walk.
Sunflower Farm
Summer gives us so much flowers and fruits to visit. Last Sunday we went to this Sunflower farm to pick some flowers.
Christchurch Lavender Farm
Christchurch is one of the three major cities in New Zealand. We love living in this place because of the close proximity to different beautiful places. This is one of them.
Deer Park Heights
One of our fav places to visit when we go to Queenstown. This is one of the places when they filmed the Lord of the Rings. The best part is, it only takes 15-20mins to drive from Queenstown, NZ to this place.
Orton Bradley
This is our first time to stay in this camp. It’s not crowded at all, they have huge place for walking, play area, kitchen, new bathroom and toilet
Mt Sunday
I always love to be in nature, it makes my heart full. Listening to the sound of the river, walking to the mountain, Sydney was laughing when the wind pushes her hat up, watching the view from the top of Edoras and stunning view on the way, what a great day indeed.
Mountain View Villa
A very unique and luxurious accommodation with the beautiful view of the Blenheim vineyard.
These are the highlights of what we love about our stay.
Beta – he’s the adorable dog who loves to lie down on top of the couch, and is trained to put his paw on your hand upon request
Leafy- the baby fluffy goat, my son enjoyed patting it
Chickens- we enjoyed the wee walk to the coop to collect the fresh eggs.
Cows -Angus and Ribeye, they have names and body clocks, every morning, they would go to the fence and wait patiently for their water
Veggies – my daughter was very happy picking up fresh and organic veggies in the mini-green house with Auntie Didith and we used it for our dinner
Games – we enjoyed playing board and card games with Uncle Clark. It was a hilarious play indeed.
Spa – what a perfect activity during winter. We soaked in it in the afternoon and at night. The kids was entertained by the LED lights under the spa.
Reading areas – Zade and Sydney are bookworms and they enjoyed reading their favourite books beside the window with the vineyard view and in the cosy fireplace
Cooking and baking – the kids have enjoyed making pizza dough, chicken soup, pancakes, fresh whipped cream with their Chef Uncle Clark
Piano – Ed enjoyed playing the piano.
Arts and books – I’ve enjoyed the collection of arts from different countries. From paintings, to wall art, collections of statues, cooking and photography books.
Unique Collections – one of a kind dining table, it can accommodate up to 16 people. The previous owner had requested to construct it inside the house due to its size.
Music room and unique bar design – Clark made a beautiful design in the bar area which took him five days. It is quite an impressive creation.
Awesome hosts- Clark and Didith are a family friend and been so kind to us by offering this villa and spending their time with us all throughout our stay. We love listening to all the stories on how they acquired this villa. It is pure destiny for them to have this place.
Deer Park Heights
Stunning place to visit when you are in Queenstown. It’s one of the places when Lord of the Rings was filmed. This place is a private one and the owner has decided to share it to the public.
Waikuku Beach
Just few minutes away from Christchurch City. This place is one of our fav ones to stop when we go on a road trip. It has camping ground, lavender farm and huge park nearby.
Lavender
During summer, this place is a great place to visit in Wanaka.
