Snowgrass Hut - Above & Beyond

ScottRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The Snowgrass Hut - Above and Beyond, exceeded any expectation that we could have had from the beautiful serene views be it day or night, the thought and care put into the hut itself with the design and layout, and the touches of the home made bread and muesli made it so much more wholesome amd welcoming.

Peel Forest Hanger Hut

LeanneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Great place to enjoy some down time. Either sitting on the deck listening to the birds while surrounded by native forest. Or relaxing in the outdoor bath under the stars. Perfect wee spot.

A Peaceful, Charming Farm Cottage!

CatherineRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This place was ideal for my writing retreat. It had everything I needed and was very comfortable. Having a writing desk and a proper computer chair was a real bonus and meant I could get on with my work and not end up with back ache. Lovely barn eggs and milk left for me too. I already am thinking about when I can come again! Thank you so much for everything!

Kākahu Lodge

MoniqueRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We loved our stay at Kakahu lodge. It’s the second time I’ve stayed here, this time it was a work retreat. We made use of the pool, outdoor dining and pizza oven, kitchen with everything you can think of (two dishwashers was so handy), and the open fireplace. Large spaces were perfect for a group and the linen and beds were comfy and high quality. Richard is so helpful and lovely too even ensuring we had plenty of kindling for the pizza oven 😊

Your guide to Geraldine

All About Geraldine

Located about two hours southwest of Christchurch in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, Geraldine is a laid-back community at the foot of the Southern Alps. The town, which sits on the Waihi River, comprises a handful of streets lined with art galleries, clothing boutiques, and farm-to-table cafes. It’s a good place to refuel or do some window shopping before taking advantage of the area’s real draw: its easy access to nature. South Islanders flock here for the abundance of outdoor activities throughout the year. Wooded hiking trails reign supreme at Talbot Forest Scenic Reserve, Peel Forest Park, and the Orari Gorge Reserve, while whitewater rafting and kayaking are popular on the Rangitata River.

Since Geraldine is close to a handful of mountains, skiing is a great way to spend a winter day here. If you want to go a bit farther afield, the town serves as a gateway to gorgeous Lake Tekapo and Mount Dobson, home to some of the best skiing on the South Island.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Geraldine

Keep in mind that since New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are opposite of those in North America. Summers run from December through February, and winter is June through August. Because of the wide array of outdoor activities here, there is no bad time to secure your Geraldine vacation rental. Unlike some other parts of New Zealand, Geraldine experiences four distinct seasons with long, hot summers that are great for hiking, and chilly winters that are ideal for skiing and snowshoeing. Spring is an ideal time to go whitewater rafting, when the melting winter snows fill the rivers with fresh water. In fall, the forests explode into a sea of autumnal colors. Some standout local events include Geraldine Ukefest, which celebrates ukulele music and features concerts and workshops every winter, and the all-ages Geraldine Festival in spring, where you can buy locally made crafts and check out local musicians.

Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve

The entire Mackenzie Basin is included in this Dark Sky Reserve, the largest in the world, about an hour’s drive from Geraldine. You don’t have to do much to experience this amazing attraction: Simply wait until night falls, find a spot, and look up. Depending on where you look, the night sky may seem like a sea of twinkling stars and planets. If you’re here in winter, you might even get to see the Southern Lights.

Peel Forest Park Scenic Reserve

Just 20 minutes from Geraldine, this forest was part of a timber milling settlement before it was designated a protected reserve. The park is home to some of Canterbury’s only remaining native bush, with trees more than a century old and a wide array of ferns and fungi. There are several walking tracks ranging from 30-minute hikes to all-day treks.

Geraldine Vintage Car and Machinery Museum

Featuring more than 2,000 vintage and lovingly restored vehicles, including more than 100 antique tractors and other farming equipment, across several buildings, this local museum is a reminder that you are in the middle of one of New Zealand’s most fertile farming regions. There’s even a biplane and a vintage motorbike with a sidecar equipped to carry a coffin.
