About Openfield
Openfield sits on a quiet stretch of Canterbury farmland, where the Southern Alps draw a clean line against the sky and the only schedule is sunrise and sunset.
This is not a hotel. It's a single, thoughtfully designed retreat: one bedroom, one bathroom, an open kitchen, and a private hot tub under the stars.

Your Host
Stephanie built Openfield with a clear vision: a place that gives people permission to do nothing. Not a resort with schedules, not a hotel with formalities, just a beautiful, quiet space and everything you need to be comfortable.
She knows the best walks, the quietest beaches, and exactly how long to leave the eggs in the morning. She's there when you need her and invisible when you don't.

“I stayed one night after arriving by plane at Christchurch. In conclusion, it was a great place. The small container house on the ranch was perfect. It has everything you need for your stay. The ranch spreads out in front of you and you can hear the birds chirping. When we arrived, the cows walked over as if to greet us. It was like they were waiting for us. Stephanie provided a variety of information from the start of the reservation. When I actually met her, she was as bright, kind, and very nice as I imagined. We are not good at English, but she communicated patiently. The animals on the farm have gentle faces because she and her husband are very affectionate. You can feel her hospitality in the room. It was a lovely place to stay that I will remember on my long journey. The price is very cheap considering the facilities, services, and environment. Unfortunately, we only stayed one night. I'd like to stay for a few days next time.”

“One of the best Airbnb stays in New Zealand! Stephanie is an amazing host. The effort, time and love invested in the studio is mind-blowing. We felt so welcomed even before we arrived. The BnB is private, has everything you may need during your stay and more, and is so lovingly decorated and thought through every detail. There were three of us and we had more than enough space. Stephanie also gave us a tour when we arrived to meet their lovely animals. I don't think I can recommend Steph and her place enough. This is a 10/10 option for a farm stay close to Christchurch that offers all comfort and great value for money.”

“We had a wonderful stay at Stephanie's cozy home. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The bed was incredibly cozy, and the little touches like chocolates, milk, juice, coffee, tea and breakfast made it feel extra special. Stephanie is an amazing host, friendly and responsive. One of my favourite moments was relaxing on the balcony with a cup of coffee, enjoying the stunning view of the sunset. I can't recommend Stephanie's place enough and will definitely be back.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie and this property!! She is so nice and everything about this Airbnb was 10/10 and already a highlight on our trip. I got the best night sleep here on the most comfortable bed. The animals were so cool. The cows came to greet us, the horses were adorable, the sheep were hilarious, the ducks were happy. The views are amazing. The hot tub is a true hot tub with jets and worked flawlessly. I would happily stay here again and plan on it when I come back.”

“Easily our favourite stay in NZ! We had a great time at Steph's, she is an amazing host. From the warm welcome as soon as we arrived, to the tour of her and Patty's beautiful farm with the calves and baby lambs, this place was so homey with everything you need for a great reset while travelling or a beautiful break away! She was even kind enough to give us some fresh produce to cook for dinner. This was a 10/10 stay, we left feeling like we now have a NZ mum!”

“We loved our night at Stephanie's container home. It was the perfect location for a stopover on our drive from Twizel to Kaikoura, and much less fuss than staying in Christchurch. It was so much roomier than we expected, and had everything we needed. Stephanie has truly gone above and beyond with so many lovely touches like fresh eggs, cereal and snacks. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching the cows in the paddock. Highly recommend!”

“Unfortunately only one night, but what a great stay. Very cozy, attention to detail. I'm glad I could cook there and that there was a dishwasher. Even a light on sensor for the night, so you didn't have to turn on all the lights. Delicious fresh eggs and milk, tea, coffee, some treats and muesli were present. And how wonderful all those calves that we could see jumping around from our windows.”

“A very lovely stay in a peaceful place surrounded by nature, with great privacy. The home was clean and comfortable, and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing. The thoughtful touches really show Stephanie's care and attention to detail. Stephanie was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and you can feel her positive energy through the space. Don't miss the beautiful stars at night.”

“Stephanie was the best host, greeted us even in the rain and did everything possible to ensure we had a good stay. Highlight was definitely the morning farm tour where we got to meet her horses and lambs and chickens. Breakfast was also kindly provided which included eggs from her chickens. Will definitely come back next time we are in New Zealand.”

“Stephanie was such an amazing host. She greeted us upon our arrival, and we immediately felt very welcome. The best part was she brought our son to meet her horses, lambs, chickens, and even the miniature horse. And feeding the three baby lambs. The interior of the place was very well equipped and clean. Highly recommended.”

“I stayed at Brookside to break up a long drive from Nelson to Dunedin. The location was convenient and the property was clean and easy to locate. I met the owner and she suggested a great place to eat in Leeston. I slept very soundly and continued on my travels. A nice alternative to the noise and traffic of Christchurch.”

“Stayed at Brookside Country Escape and honestly, it was such a unique and relaxing experience. The space is beautifully designed—it's a converted container, but you'd never feel like you're missing anything. It has all the amenities you need, thoughtfully arranged to make the stay super comfortable. What really makes this place special is the setting. Surrounded by peaceful farms and open land, it's the perfect escape from the city—quiet, scenic, and refreshing. A special mention to Stephanie, who is truly a gem of a person. She made us feel so welcome right from the start—greeting us with farm fresh milk and eggs, which was such a warm and thoughtful touch. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for something cozy, unique, and close to nature.”

“My stay was simply amazing. Stephanie really goes the extra mile to make you feel at home. She really goes out of her way to let the kids be involved and enjoy the animals. We only stayed one night and when we left it felt like we were saying goodbye to family. The outdoor spa is wonderful and very peaceful. My only regret is we didn't stay longer. The pictures of the place could be improved because on arrival it's so much better in person. The garden is beautifully grown full of beautiful flowers and the place itself is larger than it looks, spacious clean and very organized.”

“Staying at this place was a truly unique experience! Upon check-in, the host carefully guided us on how to get to the accommodation. The amenities here are very comprehensive, and there's a supermarket within driving distance. The host even thoughtfully prepared milk, eggs, and apple juice, allowing us to settle in comfortably and rest right away. Moreover, besides the TV in the bedroom, there was also one in the small living room, along with puzzles and some simple board games, making our evening truly enjoyable.”

“This was one of my favourite Airbnbs of my whole trip even though we only spent one night! We had a long driving day and arrived to a spotlessly clean and warm place. Stephanie had provided us with some snacks and fresh produce (eggs and milk) which saved us a trip to the shops. The bed was so comfortable and even had a heater blanket! We also had a beautiful view of the paddock and got to watch the cows walk around. Stephanie is super kind and friendly.”
Ciara
Dublin, Ireland · July 2025
“We absolutely loved our stay here! One of the best and most peaceful BnBs we've ever stayed at and we've been to our fair share of them! It has huge windows that look toward the cows grazing and it's so cozy inside. We needed a little break from our road trip to do laundry and chill and it was all that and more. Stephanie is also very sweet and we had such a good time chatting with her and meeting the animals. Don't hesitate to book!”
Savanah

“Stephanie went above and beyond to help us with some campervan issues. She was very responsive with communication and always willing to help. The accommodation was very clean, well equipped and welcoming. The bed was comfortable and the shower was lovely and powerful. It's a very peaceful and private setting, with wonderful views over the paddocks. We would definitely recommend and stay again!”
Monique
Sydney, Australia · December 2024
“Quiet, peaceful place with farm views. We felt as though we could completely relax here. Stephanie had put the heat pump on for our arrival, so it was warm and inviting after a long day travelling. This home was well appointed, with a comfortable bed, lovely linen, great hot shower and the added bonus of some breakfast items. All in all, a great stay in a quiet, out of the way spot.”
Justine

“It was a lovely little house right in front of a field of calves, which we loved watching run around and stare at us occasionally. The space was very comfortable and the included breakfast was great. I had forgotten to let the host know I was gluten free and she went out of her way to accommodate for me. Would definitely recommend for a nice, relaxing farm getaway!”

I couldn't recommend a better place.”
Emily

“Stayed at Brookside Country Escape and honestly, it was such a unique and relaxing experience. The space is beautifully designed—it's a converted container, but you'd never feel like you're missing anything. It has all the amenities you need, thoughtfully arranged to make the stay super comfortable. What really makes this place special is the setting. Surrounded by peaceful farms and open land, it's the perfect escape from the city—quiet, scenic, and refreshing. A special mention to Stephanie, who is truly a gem of a person. She made us feel so welcome right from the start—greeting us with farm fresh milk and eggs, which was such a warm and thoughtful touch. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for something cozy, unique, and close to nature.”
Rishil
United Arab Emirates · March 2026
“My stay was simply amazing. Stephanie really goes the extra mile to make you feel at home. She really goes out of her way to let the kids be involved and enjoy the animals. We only stayed one night and when we left it felt like we were saying goodbye to family. The outdoor spa is wonderful and very peaceful. My only regret is we didn't stay longer. The pictures of the place could be improved because on arrival it's so much better in person. The garden is beautifully grown full of beautiful flowers and the place itself is larger than it looks, spacious clean and very organized.”
Kristy
Wellington, New Zealand · January 2026
“Staying at this place was a truly unique experience! Upon check-in, the host carefully guided us on how to get to the accommodation. The amenities here are very comprehensive, and there's a supermarket within driving distance. The host even thoughtfully prepared milk, eggs, and apple juice, allowing us to settle in comfortably and rest right away. Moreover, besides the TV in the bedroom, there was also one in the small living room, along with puzzles and some simple board games, making our evening truly enjoyable.”
Kelly

“Stephanie was an incredible host with an absolutely amazing place. Everything about this Airbnb was 10/10 and already a highlight on our trip. I got the best night sleep here on the most comfortable bed. The animals were so cool. The cows came to greet us, the horses were adorable, the sheep were hilarious, the ducks were happy. The views are amazing, the stars are out, the garden is so well kept. The hot tub is a true hot tub with jets and worked flawlessly. I would happily stay here again.”

Clean, peaceful, have everything you need from kitchen items to laundry to comfortable bedroom and clean bathroom! What's even better and not promoted is we spotted cows eating grass in front of our house, peacefully in the morning. Ducks running around the farm in the afternoon. The unit is very clean and even though it is located on a farm, there's no insects inside as it is well maintained. Stephanie gave us some freshly dug potatoes and courgettes! There's fresh milk and eggs provided too. What a shame we only had one night! I don't even want to leave and will definitely come back again!”
Angela

“I wish I could give this stay 100 stars! We've been traveling South Island for about two weeks now, and this stay has been our favourite by far. The setting is even more picturesque than the photos, especially with being so close to the cows. The place itself is immaculately clean, with fresh sheets, towels, along with coffee, tea, breakfast items, fresh eggs and milk. Stephanie was also kind enough to introduce us to the animals. We felt so lucky to stay here. If you want a peaceful, clean, and beautiful farm escape, absolutely book this place!”
Kayla
London, UK · March 2025
“Stephanie's place was a home away from home. It was absolutely serene, relaxing and had everything we needed to feel comfortable, including a luxurious spa pool. The bed was also very nice and comfortable. The area was very private and the friendly cows in the paddock ahead, the freshly laid eggs and the little juice boxes were such a wonderful touch. Stephanie is a very responsive and friendly host who sent us many recommendations in the area. This was the best stop along our journey through the South Island.”
Coralie

The container house has everything you need, and is really well equipped, clean and cared for. There were some fresh eggs, treats, tea, coffee and even milk in the fridge for us to use. We loved having the cows hang out in our front yard. Perfect for two people, especially if you're looking for peace and quiet, comfort and privacy. We would definitely book again!”
Nicholas

“Amazing stay and hosts! We had clear instructions and loved the drive in. It was a nice and clean space with lots of cute ducks and cows around. We felt at ease right from the beginning. Jacuzzi had the perfect temperature and was one of the best stays we've had. Stephanie had set a good range of snacks and breakfast for us along with great linen, amazing bath products, and a tidy kitchen. Extremely worth the price and we felt like we needed more time!”
Manish

“Stephanie was an excellent communicator and provides a fantastic service. The unit was absolutely spotless, it is much bigger inside than it looks from outside with separate bedroom at one end and lounge dining at the other. Very well thought out design. A very tranquil spot with easy access, fresh eggs, plenty of fresh milk, condiments and nice cereals and fruit for breakfast. We will definitely stay again in the future.”
Rochelle

Stephanie is a delightful, welcoming host.”
Alan T.

Definitely will repeat.”
Izzat

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars to Stephanie's place!!! It's really the best (not one of but THE BEST) Airbnb we ever stayed! Clean, peaceful, have everything you need from kitchen items to laundry to comfortable bedroom and clean bathroom! What's even better and not promoted is we spotted cows eating grass in front of our house, peacefully in the morning. Ducks running around the farm in the afternoon. The unit is very clean and even though it is located on a farm, there's no insects inside as it is well maintained. Stephanie gave us some freshly dug potatoes and courgettes! There's fresh milk and eggs provided too. What a shame we only had one night! I don't even want to leave and will definitely come back again!”
Angela
Singapore · March 2026
“I wish I could give this stay 100 stars! We've been traveling South Island for about two weeks now, and this stay has been our favourite by far. The setting is even more picturesque than the photos, especially with being so close to the cows. The place itself is immaculately clean, with fresh sheets, towels, along with coffee, tea, breakfast items, fresh eggs and milk. Stephanie was also kind enough to introduce us to the animals. We felt so lucky to stay here. If you want a peaceful, clean, and beautiful farm escape, absolutely book this place!”
Kayla
London, UK · March 2025
“Stephanie's place was a home away from home. It was absolutely serene, relaxing and had everything we needed to feel comfortable, including a luxurious spa pool. The bed was also very nice and comfortable. The area was very private and the friendly cows in the paddock ahead, the freshly laid eggs and the little juice boxes were such a wonderful touch. Stephanie is a very responsive and friendly host who sent us many recommendations in the area. This was the best stop along our journey through the South Island.”
Coralie
Paris, France · January 2026
“Stephanie's place was incredible, exactly what we needed to rest and enjoy some quiet time in nice surroundings. The container house has everything you need, and is really well equipped, clean and cared for. There were some fresh eggs, treats, tea, coffee and even milk in the fridge for us to use. We loved having the cows hang out in our front yard. Perfect for two people, especially if you're looking for peace and quiet, comfort and privacy. We would definitely book again!”
Nicholas
Massachusetts, USA · January 2025
“Amazing stay and hosts! We had clear instructions and loved the drive in. It was a nice and clean space with lots of cute ducks and cows around. We felt at ease right from the beginning. Jacuzzi had the perfect temperature and was one of the best stays we've had. Stephanie had set a good range of snacks and breakfast for us along with great linen, amazing bath products, and a tidy kitchen. Extremely worth the price and we felt like we needed more time!”
Manish
Auckland, New Zealand · March 2026
“Stephanie was an excellent communicator and provides a fantastic service. The unit was absolutely spotless, it is much bigger inside than it looks from outside with separate bedroom at one end and lounge dining at the other. Very well thought out design. A very tranquil spot with easy access, fresh eggs, plenty of fresh milk, condiments and nice cereals and fruit for breakfast. We will definitely stay again in the future.”
Rochelle

Stephanie is a delightful, welcoming host.”

Definitely will repeat.”

Michael

This place far exceeded expectations and is excellent value for money with lots of thoughtful details. Very spacious, spotlessly clean, and a beautiful & peaceful rural location. Being able to chill in the hot tub in the pretty little garden before breakfast was the icing on the cake! We got the chance to meet Stephanie as we were checking out — she is such a warm & friendly host who took a real interest in our travels. This place will be first on our list to book again when we save up for our next NZ trip. Highly recommend!”
Kristina
April 2026
“We only stayed for one night but can confidently say we'd be very comfortable staying there for longer. This place is located in a rural area, so really peaceful, quiet and private. It's surrounded by farmland and right outside of your doorstep is a pasture. The Airbnb is so well laid out. While it's essentially a studio, the living and bedroom are separated by an open corridor containing a well equipped kitchen and bathroom, so it feels like a one bedroom apartment. This place exceeded our expectations and is really good value for money.”
Elbereth
February 2025
“A gorgeous gem in beautiful surroundings. It was an absolute pleasure staying at Brookside and I arrived to a warm house as Stephanie had kindly put on the heat pump. The house is really lovely and set up to enjoy a peaceful stay with every amenity needed and more. Fresh farm eggs, milk and yummy treats too. Clear instructions before and on arrival made for an easy stay. The views are wonderful and it's just the perfect place to unwind. I felt very settled and at home the minute I got there. 10/10 recommended.”
Felicity
Napier, New Zealand · October 2025
“This is a fantastic container house, hidden from the main road and private from the main house with a beautiful country outlook. Very modern, well laid out inside with plenty of room in the bedrooms and living areas with everything you could need in the kitchen. Fresh eggs, cookies and cereals were provided along with juice and fresh milk. Excellent communication from the owners. This ticks all the boxes, excellent value for money, private, comfy beds, modern house - 10/10!”
Greta
New Zealand · October 2024
“The hostess was very friendly. For breakfast, she prepared fresh eggs from the farm, as well as milk, snacks, etc. The room is equipped with a comprehensive range of brand-new facilities. The farm has only one guest suite with a separate entrance and exit. There is no disturbance at all. The hostess also invited us to visit the farm, have close contact with the horses, pick fruits, etc. My son was very happy and misses this experience very much.”
Lida

The host is one of the best I've encountered in 2025!”

“Stephanie's place represents why I shifted to using Airbnb several years ago. The coziness and warmth of a home away from home.

The bit of culture from the area to make it more interesting than a hotel. This place is absolutely what traveling is all about.”
Jennifer B.
Idaho, USA · January 2025
“Our stay at Stephanie's place was wonderful! The house is very clean and neatly organised. We were welcomed with freshly laid eggs, farm milk and everything you need for breakfast and to cook.

Marie
Wellington, New Zealand · January 2025
“This little gem is a fabulous retreat for a stay away from the big city, even though it's just down the road! It was a very inspiring little cottage with all we needed!

“Stephanie's place is an absolute gem! We were looking for somewhere to unwind on our final night of a 3-week roadtrip and picked it mainly for the proximity to Christchurch airport. This place far exceeded expectations and is excellent value for money with lots of thoughtful details. Very spacious, spotlessly clean, and a beautiful & peaceful rural location. Being able to chill in the hot tub in the pretty little garden before breakfast was the icing on the cake! We got the chance to meet Stephanie as we were checking out — she is such a warm & friendly host who took a real interest in our travels. This place will be first on our list to book again when we save up for our next NZ trip. Highly recommend!”

“We only stayed for one night but can confidently say we'd be very comfortable staying there for longer. This place is located in a rural area, so really peaceful, quiet and private. It's surrounded by farmland and right outside of your doorstep is a pasture. The Airbnb is so well laid out. While it's essentially a studio, the living and bedroom are separated by an open corridor containing a well equipped kitchen and bathroom, so it feels like a one bedroom apartment. This place exceeded our expectations and is really good value for money.”

“A gorgeous gem in beautiful surroundings. It was an absolute pleasure staying at Brookside and I arrived to a warm house as Stephanie had kindly put on the heat pump. The house is really lovely and set up to enjoy a peaceful stay with every amenity needed and more. Fresh farm eggs, milk and yummy treats too. Clear instructions before and on arrival made for an easy stay. The views are wonderful and it's just the perfect place to unwind. I felt very settled and at home the minute I got there. 10/10 recommended.”
Felicity

“This is a fantastic container house, hidden from the main road and private from the main house with a beautiful country outlook. Very modern, well laid out inside with plenty of room in the bedrooms and living areas with everything you could need in the kitchen. Fresh eggs, cookies and cereals were provided along with juice and fresh milk. Excellent communication from the owners. This ticks all the boxes, excellent value for money, private, comfy beds, modern house - 10/10!”
Greta

“The hostess was very friendly. For breakfast, she prepared fresh eggs from the farm, as well as milk, snacks, etc. The room is equipped with a comprehensive range of brand-new facilities. The farm has only one guest suite with a separate entrance and exit. There is no disturbance at all. The hostess also invited us to visit the farm, have close contact with the horses, pick fruits, etc. My son was very happy and misses this experience very much.”
Lida
China · February 2025
“The property is located about 30-40 minutes' drive from downtown Christchurch, surrounded by farms. It is well-equipped with everything you need, and the host is quick to respond and very welcoming. The room is clean and tidy, and the breakfast provided by the host is delicious. I will definitely stay at this property again the next time I visit Christchurch. The host is one of the best I've encountered in 2025!”

“Stephanie's place represents why I shifted to using Airbnb several years ago. The coziness and warmth of a home away from home. Impeccably clean with all of the conveniences that originally made Airbnb great. The simple touches that make traveling more relaxing. The bit of culture from the area to make it more interesting than a hotel. This place is absolutely what traveling is all about.”
Jennifer B.
Idaho, USA · January 2025
“Our stay at Stephanie's place was wonderful! The house is very clean and neatly organised. We were welcomed with freshly laid eggs, farm milk and everything you need for breakfast and to cook. Stephanie gave us a very friendly tour of the animals, that was lovely. I'll definitely recommend this place to whoever wants to stay in a very peaceful farmland near Christchurch!”

“This little gem is a fabulous retreat for a stay away from the big city, even though it's just down the road! It was a very inspiring little cottage with all we needed! The peaceful surroundings of the farm and rural location would totally suit a writers retreat or just time to reset and rejuvenate. We will totally be back for another retreat in the country.”
Watson

“Stephanie's place felt really spacious despite being small. I really appreciated the extra bed already being made up on arrival, and all of the extras in the kitchen which helped to make it a great stay.
