peaceful, homely and unique.
A peaceful retreat venue with a difference! Our central city location means guests can enjoy the cultural, arts, and gardens of Christchurch City during any free time. Even though our venue is in the centre of Christchurch, one of the most remarked comments from guests is how quiet and peaceful the Villa’s garden and outdoor areas are. The meeting space and covered outdoor deck area are perfect for hosting workshops, yoga or meditation retreats. The guest kitchen is ideal for self-catering or we can recommend outside suppliers that provide a range of healthy, organic options. The homely feel of the house is perfect for creating guest cohesiveness and our varied room options caters for different budgets.
