Abrie & Zelda
The accommodation is a spacious self-contained studio with its own entrance. The studio has a contemporary design and boasts a large open plan space with beautiful en-suite.  With every detail considered, from the luxurious bedding to the beautiful view, this space is a lovely retreat in a peaceful setting! Farm Retreat B&B is a great place to stay if you are about to kick off your journey to the West Coast or around the South Island. ​We welcome all travelers, both for leisure and business.
Your hosts are the Potgieter (Pot-gee-ter) family, with South African roots, but have been calling New Zealand home for the last few years.   Growing up on a farm, it has always been Abrie's dream to have a piece of land to call his own. Zelda has always wanted to own a B&B where she could apply her passion and knowledge of hospitality, food and wine. We could not think of a better place to make these dreams come true than in Canterbury, New Zealand. Our family is completed by our two beautiful children, Carli and MG as well as our two dogs, Missy and Phoebe.....and other farm animals! With warm hearts and Cantabrian hospitality, we will welcome you to our B&B.
While enjoying the peace of the rural countryside, you will not notice how close we are to many amenities.  Travel time: 20 minutes from Christchurch Airport 25 minutes to Christchurch City​ If you are heading to a wedding in the Selwyn area, we are in close proximity of these venues: Langdale Vineyard  (next door) Melton Estate (7 minutes) Westhaven Gardens Wedding Venue (8 minutes) Trents Vineyard Wedding Venue (10 minutes) Larcomb Vineyard (11 minutes) Omarino Wine Park (14 minutes) Pemberton Function Centre (16 minutes)
