Oxford Holiday Cottage - Self catering, Self contained, Mountain Views, 10 Acres

Oxford Holiday Cottage is a modern, two bedroom, self-contained, self catering cottage set on our 10 acre lifestyle block in Oxford, North Canterbury, New Zealand. We have very friendly chickens and three steers on the property.
The cottage is lovely and warm - perfect for that weekend getaway, holiday, ski trip or when visiting family in Oxford. (Sleeps up to 6).
(The base price is for one or two guests sharing the queen bed. If booking for two singles please adjust the guest number to three).
Maximum length of bookings is 14 nights.
The holiday cottage is modern & fully furnished to a high standard, it has a spacious open plan living area, two bedrooms & a bathroom. The cottage is cleaned to a high standard and we take the time to iron the bedsheets. Towels are also provided.

The cottage is lovely & warm with high levels of insulation - well above building code! Perfect for that winter getaway. There is plenty of firewood provided & the log burner can be lit for your arrival. There is air conditioning for the hot summer days. Check out our website for more information.

The kitchen is fully equipped - complete with electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave, washing machine, clothes dryer, tub, gas hot water, toaster, sandwich toaster, kettle - all you need for a relaxing break! Tea & coffee are provided & milk on arrival. There is a BBQ outside that may be used by guests.

We don't allow domestic pets but we may be able to accommodate horses if you are attending an equestrian event in the area. Advance notice is required.

We are a great alternative to a Hotel, Motel or B&B with plenty of space inside and out! The fire will keep you toasty warm in winter, perfect after a day of skiing or snowboarding at Mount Hutt or Porters. The cottage is only 5km/five minute drive from Oxford township.

We enjoyed this VRBO. It is in an idyllic country setting. So peaceful and relaxing. Janette was a fabulous host. The property is exactly as described and was spotlessly clean. We highly recommend it.

Beautiful location
Janette and Simon have a magic little spot with glorious glimpses of mountain ranges. We loved our stay in the cottage. It was so cosy with the wood stove and cooking facilities were great. Perfect location to do what we wanted which is walk in the forests and view the mountains. Oxford is a lovely town for coffee and meals. Great Art Gallery there. Good supermarket.

Very warm and tidy.
Lovely hosts and Cottage. Will be even better when there is perhaps some privacy screening from the main house and maybe some outdoor seating.

Absolutely perfect getaway with everything you'd need
We had an absolutely wonderful stay and regret we couldn't extend our stay there. We will definitely stay here again in the future if we happen to be in the area. It was clean, cozy and well kept and organized. The homeowners are super friendly and the small town of Oxford is just minutes away. This is a modern homestead with everything you would need for a perfect getaway. Thank you again for hosting us.
