Ashburton Retreat is nestled under oak trees overlooking the garden and pond. Here we specialise in giving you the time you need to relax and unwind, offering delicious food and a complimentary bottle of wine with purchase of the dinner platter. Relax in the wood fired hot tub and soak up the fresh country air.
The retreat and hot tub are set back from the main house giving you plenty of privacy. With a check out time of 11.00am you will have every opportunity to enjoy your home cooked farm style breakfast using nothing but the freshest of ingredients.
With a fully qualified beauty therapist on site this is the perfect place for you to enjoy pure relaxation in a peaceful and private environment. You may just want to extend your stay.
To add a touch of Romance to your getaway, be sure to add one of our Romantic Delights gift boxes to your booking.

what our clients say
It was AMAZING!!!!!! The hosts were great and friendly and were so accommodating! The pamper packages (facial and massage) was great. Nicky is so good at it. We were blown away with the platter! It was so packed. There were things hidden underneath as you took things from the top. Well worth the money! Although the house is quite close it is a private space and it felt that you were totally secluded with just the ducks and the pond! I cannot recommend this place enough, it was so relaxing and exactly what I needed! I will definitely be telling people about it! Jeanette Campbell – Christchurch
Upon arrival I headed to the beauty room for a divine massage and facial. Dinner was lovely, we did our Couple Conversation cards, which was a great thing to do over dinner. Our relationship has benefited from booking with you because neither of us had to do any of the organising, and it really was a surprise opening the big red box. Both times you’ve organised our wedding anniversary we’ve been thrilled with the weekend. Sharon & Kevin – Christchurch
We had a fabulous time over the weekend. My husband was pleasantly surprised at all the details you had gone into to keep it in the theme. Our favourite part was the fairy lights outside the room. They looked like a dream when we walked in. I must say Nicky was an amazing host who took care of the little things we needed and prepared a sumptuous breakfast that we loved. Thanks a ton for making our pre-anniversary celebration very special. Devi and Vishnu – Christchurch
