Red Cottages Staveley

Perfect Atmosphere - Yours to Enjoy!

Rustic, romantic and relaxing! The perfect romantic getaway from the hustle of life, in an environment you won’t want to leave. Open fires, candles, and the warm wooden ambience of this restored historical cottage create the perfect spark, along with local produce and wine, whilst watching the sun set over the surrounding mountains, after a day exploring all the local area has to offer. Soak in the double outdoor baths and explore the brightest stars that make up New Zealand's first starlight reserve.



Bring your own DVD of choice and try the exclusively yours 'Woolshed Threatre' which is only 20 metres from the cottage. This unique and complimentary experience will be a highlight of your stay - Just grab a wine and a blanket and settle into a variety of couches while your movie is projected onto a big screen with surround sound. All this within an original Woolshed setting of native Rimu timber and English corrugated iron. After the movie head back to the cottage to watch the crackling fire or sit on the deck and be amazed by the southern sky stars.

Feel free to dine in or we will assist with recommending the restaurant options in nearby Staveley, Mt Somers or Methven. Most choose to dine on the covered deck watching the sun set over the Southern Alps or on the sofa in front of a the fire with a bottle of fine New Zealand wine. Continental breakfasts are supplied and light meals or platters are available by request.

Red Cottage Staveley is 1km from the renown Staveley Store, gateway to the Sharplin Falls or Mt Somers hiking trails. Its only 10 minutes from the start of the Mt Hutt Ski area access road and 20 minutes to the town of Methven. A wide list of activities to do in the area is available here and when staying with us we will talk you through all the local options. All of this is only 1 hour from Christchurch International Airport.
