The Heathcote Valley's most wholesome Airbnb - an oasis for inspiration and grounding.
Tucked into the edges of the Heathcote Valley, Five Acre Farm is the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe deeply, and appreciate the simple rhythm of countryside life. Situated on five acres of orchard-paddock, sheep grazing, alpaca companionship and white-silence views, it offers a charming retreat for city-dwellers ready to unplug and reconnect.
A farm stay with character
From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by pastoral scenes: curious sheep nibbling grass, an alpaca peeking over the paddock fence, fruit trees lining the property, and views of the Port Hills rising in the distance. The accommodation itself is beautifully crafted: cedar-clad pods, vaulted ceilings, interiors lined with locally milled beech wood — modern comforts wrapped in rustic elegance.

Activities to savor
While the farm is quiet and relaxed, there’s plenty to keep you engaged:
- Morning walks in the pasture: Wake up to Nespresso or tea and stroll through the quiet acres.
- Sunset outdoor bath: Embrace the healing bath while watching the sunset with a glass of wine
- Feeding the farm animals: For a hands-on touch, feed the sheep and alpaca, making some new fury friends that you won’t want to leave behind.
- Proximity to Christchurch: You’re near the city and its amenities, but far enough to feel a world away. Perfect for combining rural calm with urban convenience.
