Unwind and relax amongst stunning native bush

Let your feet hang over the veranda and get lost in the wonderful sound of the flowing stream, wrapped in 101ha of protected native flora and fauna. Cosy-up with a book beside the fireplace within this serene cabin or gaze far into the Milky Way, void of any light pollution from the city you've left behind. Then wake up to native birdsong in full symphony with an optional delicious homestyle vegetarian breakfast. It's a secluded place where time disappears, yet right on ChCh's doorstep!

You’ll love SiloStay because of the ambience, the outdoors space, the light, the comfy bed, and the neighbourhood. SiloStay is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers.
