Where stillness begins

“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's house was spotlessly clean, very well equipped, cosy, and absolutely beautiful. We especially loved the adorable pony, sheep, and calves. Stephanie herself was incredibly helpful and friendly. We truly enjoyed our conversations with her, and she gave us many great travel tips. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a warm, comfortable, and memorable stay.”

“Exceptional stay.”

“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.”

“A lovely peaceful spot!! Everything we needed was provided. Clean and tidy with a warm inviting atmosphere. Stephanie was super helpful and very responsive to messages. Thank you for the wee touches of homely comforts and breakfast goodies. We loved our stay and hope to return in the near future! Highly recommend.”

“What a lovely place to stay for a day or two! Such a beautiful, unique and private setting. There is everything you could need in the way of amenities and so many thoughtful and practical touches. A very comfortable bed, quality linens and chic, yet homey decor. Would highly recommend a stay here.”

“We had a wonderful time here. Very friendly and kind Stephanie warmly welcomed us and introduced us to the lovely animals, especially the three lambs and two horses. The cabin is very clean and cozy, everything around it makes our trip special. This is a wonderful and profound memory of life.”

“Very good accommodation, washing machine and dryer are provided, clean and tidy, next to the farm, you can take a bubble bath at night to watch the stars. The host is very polite and personally came to see what we needed, even gave us a small gift. Hope to stay again if there is a chance.”

“Everything! So incredibly clean and had everything we could have possibly needed. The breakfast was fabulous too. We had a wonderful stay, thanks again. Stephanie was fabulous at communicating and was a fantastic host. We highly recommend and will definitely be back!”

“We had the best stay of our NZ holiday here. Great container house with everything you need. Stephanie is a lovely host and we got to meet and feed the animals which was cool. The price was extremely cheap as well compared to other venues that aren't as good.”

“An amazing stay. Stephanie made every effort to make her guests feel at home. Loved the hot spa tub and the beautiful starry night. Enjoyed the fresh farm eggs and milk provided. A perfect place for couples looking for a quiet escape from busy city life.”

“Best place ever! I want to come back to this house. Wonderful hosts. Everything is very clean! Splendid view of the animals. If you are tired from the big city, then this house is the right choice for you. Thank you for the wonderful breakfast.”

“Stephanie's place is fantastic. Just a few minutes off the main road and you're in a wonderful, peaceful setting. The place itself is very cozy and comfortable with everything you need. Will definitely stay again when we are in the area.”

“Exceptional stay.”

“The place was amazing. Well set out on a private rural property with cows and sheep. Owner was very friendly and made you welcome. Was more than we hoped for. I wish we had stayed longer.”

“We were so happy to stay one night there, really worth it. If we come next time to Christchurch definitely we will stay there. Thank you so much Stephanie for the hospitality.”

“Stephanie's place was absolutely amazing. We would recommend it to anyone and we would definitely go back but stay more than one night. Thanks so much Stephanie.”

“Gewoonweg alles de ligging de rust het huisje de vogeltjes Stephanie zo lief en vriendelijk, als we ooit terugkomen staat deze al zeker op ons lijstje.”

“Beautiful cottage, simple and clean, and the heater was turned on for us in advance because we arrived late. The view the next morning was beautiful!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Exceptional stay.”

“A lovely and cozy container apartment with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The farm views are stunning, and it's the perfect spot for stargazing, though we couldn't see the stars due to cloudy weather. Stephanie was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, providing eggs, milk, coffee, and other essentials. Highly recommend this unique stay!”

“Located 30 minutes away from Christchurch, easy to reach with your car. Clean and spacious room for two of us. The kitchen was clean and plenty of cooker to use. Lovely farm and charming animals, it was happy to see the cows in front of your window at the moment waking up. Also, Stephanie was nice and kind. Love this place.”

“This is our second time staying. Stephanie is so kind and warming, it makes our stay more delightful. The surroundings are beautiful and we got clear views of the Milky Way and we were lucky enough to see an aurora! She let us see the farm animals again which we were most excited for. I couldn't recommend a better place.”

“Oh my, I didn't want to leave. What a stunning place in a stunning setting. The cows in the paddock opposite to watch are adorable. The little house has everything you could want and more and the hot tub is divine. Loved every second of it. Also got to meet Stephanie and it was lovely chatting to her.”

“Very nice and beautiful location. Stephanie was a lovely host and so thoughtful and kind. The container house is such a creative idea with all that you need for your stay. We especially loved waking up to cows right by the front door! What a great experience! We would definitely stay here again.”

“What a place! If you don't mind the drive out of Christchurch, then this place is an incredible find! We arrived late from the airport but it was a great stop off for heading south! Stephanie was extremely helpful and we would highly recommend staying at this beautiful place! We will be back!”

“Absolutely loved our stay here, I wish our plans allowed us to stay longer! I'll definitely be recommending this place to friends and family. Loved the rural setting, the clean homely feel, and all the information Stephanie provided for us. 10/10. Hopefully we can make it back someday!”

“The most spotless Airbnb I've stayed in! I'm picky but couldn't find anything to criticise here! Stephanie is a great host, so friendly and responsive. The BnB is in a lovely peaceful spot and has everything you need. Comfortable and cozy. I will definitely be back!”

“We had an amazing stay with Stephanie, she walked us round the farm to meet all the animals and let us feed the sheep and horses. The container home was so quaint and cosy, we had a really lovely night. Would definitely recommend and we will be coming back!”

“Would definitely recommend Stephanie's Airbnb. The house was so clean, warm and comfortable. We felt right at home. Stephanie was very helpful and replied to any message very quickly. There were also some lovely extra touches. Would love to stay again!”

“I was traveling solo and for business. This was the second stay at Brookside and it was even better than the first. It's a really special place that's difficult to describe. Super clean, incredibly cozy, and peaceful. A great spot to recharge!”

“Stephanie is an amazing host with very fast responses. Accommodated a short tour of her farm for my mother who loved the experience and time spent. Place is also peaceful and away from the city, around 30 minutes drive to Christchurch.”

“Stephanie is a very friendly and helpful host. Her place is perfect for our one night stay before heading to the airport. It was clean, and it had everything that you would ever need and then more. We really enjoyed our stay.”

“We just love Stephanie's place. The set up is surprisingly spacious and well designed. Also very accommodating for our three night stay. Very handy for some great fishing spots. Thank you Stephanie for a wonderful stay.”

“This would have to be one of the best stays I've had, absolutely perfect for our stopover. We were on a long drive and the bed was so comfortable we slept in! This place was perfect in every way, thanks so much.”

“Viel besser als auf den Bildern! Geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, gut ausgestattete Küche, nettes Begrüßungspaket, bequemes Wohnzimmer. Super Whirlpool! Top Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis!”

“What a special place! Modern, cosy cottage in beautiful rural surrounds with so many personal touches. Stephanie the host is so friendly and welcoming. Wonderful star gazing opportunities. Highly recommend!”

“Very good. Three large bottles of fresh milk were also prepared. The eggs were very delicious. And the environment was very nice. One could see the herd of cows walking around as soon as you woke up.”

“The place was very spacious and had all the amenities that made our stay there feel special. Wish we could have stayed longer, and if we had the opportunity we would definitely stay there again.”

“Exceptional stay.”

“The place was spacious and comfortable. My son was so happy to have the opportunity to meet the gorgeous farm animals. It was one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed. Highly recommended.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Exceptional stay.”

“A lovely and cozy container apartment with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The farm views are stunning, and it's the perfect spot for stargazing, though we couldn't see the stars due to cloudy weather. Stephanie was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, providing eggs, milk, coffee, and other essentials. Highly recommend this unique stay!”

“Located 30 minutes away from Christchurch, easy to reach with your car. Clean and spacious room for two of us. The kitchen was clean and plenty of cooker to use. Lovely farm and charming animals, it was happy to see the cows in front of your window at the moment waking up. Also, Stephanie was nice and kind. Love this place.”

“This is our second time staying. Stephanie is so kind and warming, it makes our stay more delightful. The surroundings are beautiful and we got clear views of the Milky Way and we were lucky enough to see an aurora! She let us see the farm animals again which we were most excited for. I couldn't recommend a better place.”

“Oh my, I didn't want to leave. What a stunning place in a stunning setting. The cows in the paddock opposite to watch are adorable. The little house has everything you could want and more and the hot tub is divine. Loved every second of it. Also got to meet Stephanie and it was lovely chatting to her.”

“Very nice and beautiful location. Stephanie was a lovely host and so thoughtful and kind. The container house is such a creative idea with all that you need for your stay. We especially loved waking up to cows right by the front door! What a great experience! We would definitely stay here again.”

“What a place! If you don't mind the drive out of Christchurch, then this place is an incredible find! We arrived late from the airport but it was a great stop off for heading south! Stephanie was extremely helpful and we would highly recommend staying at this beautiful place! We will be back!”

“Absolutely loved our stay here, I wish our plans allowed us to stay longer! I'll definitely be recommending this place to friends and family. Loved the rural setting, the clean homely feel, and all the information Stephanie provided for us. 10/10. Hopefully we can make it back someday!”

“The most spotless Airbnb I've stayed in! I'm picky but couldn't find anything to criticise here! Stephanie is a great host, so friendly and responsive. The BnB is in a lovely peaceful spot and has everything you need. Comfortable and cozy. I will definitely be back!”

“We had an amazing stay with Stephanie, she walked us round the farm to meet all the animals and let us feed the sheep and horses. The container home was so quaint and cosy, we had a really lovely night. Would definitely recommend and we will be coming back!”

“Would definitely recommend Stephanie's Airbnb. The house was so clean, warm and comfortable. We felt right at home. Stephanie was very helpful and replied to any message very quickly. There were also some lovely extra touches. Would love to stay again!”

“I was traveling solo and for business. This was the second stay at Brookside and it was even better than the first. It's a really special place that's difficult to describe. Super clean, incredibly cozy, and peaceful. A great spot to recharge!”

“Stephanie is an amazing host with very fast responses. Accommodated a short tour of her farm for my mother who loved the experience and time spent. Place is also peaceful and away from the city, around 30 minutes drive to Christchurch.”

“Stephanie is a very friendly and helpful host. Her place is perfect for our one night stay before heading to the airport. It was clean, and it had everything that you would ever need and then more. We really enjoyed our stay.”

“We just love Stephanie's place. The set up is surprisingly spacious and well designed. Also very accommodating for our three night stay. Very handy for some great fishing spots. Thank you Stephanie for a wonderful stay.”

“This would have to be one of the best stays I've had, absolutely perfect for our stopover. We were on a long drive and the bed was so comfortable we slept in! This place was perfect in every way, thanks so much.”

“Viel besser als auf den Bildern! Geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, gut ausgestattete Küche, nettes Begrüßungspaket, bequemes Wohnzimmer. Super Whirlpool! Top Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis!”

“What a special place! Modern, cosy cottage in beautiful rural surrounds with so many personal touches. Stephanie the host is so friendly and welcoming. Wonderful star gazing opportunities. Highly recommend!”

“Very good. Three large bottles of fresh milk were also prepared. The eggs were very delicious. And the environment was very nice. One could see the herd of cows walking around as soon as you woke up.”

“The place was very spacious and had all the amenities that made our stay there feel special. Wish we could have stayed longer, and if we had the opportunity we would definitely stay there again.”

“Exceptional stay.”

“The place was spacious and comfortable. My son was so happy to have the opportunity to meet the gorgeous farm animals. It was one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed. Highly recommended.”

“Such a pleasant wee house to stay in with our family. Lovely and attentive host and the space was very clean. Had everything we needed. Very happy with our stay.”

“Absolutely loved staying here!! It was so peaceful and the place is beautiful!! I wish I could have stayed for longer and would recommend to anyone!!!”

“If you want to spend good holidays with friends or family without any disturbance, in the lap of nature, this is the best place and very good host.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Brookside is a very tidy, well organized, quiet and private home away from home. We found everything we needed for a comfortable stay on our way to the airport, even laundry facilities. Fresh farm treats complemented the continental breakfast ingredients. A peaceful night on the farm was the ideal preparation for the stresses of air travel to follow. Stephanie is a delightful, welcoming host.”

“Staying with Stephanie was amazing. The place is nicely decorated, and we felt very comfortable. The surroundings are wonderful: cows graze right in front of the veranda, and you can watch birds excellently. Stephanie decorated everything with a lot of love for detail and even provided food for breakfast. Communication was completely straightforward, and you have your privacy.”

“We had an amazing stay! The area is absolutely beautiful, and we loved spending time with the cows, sheep, and horses. It was such a unique and relaxing experience. The place was cozy, clean, and well-maintained, making us feel right at home. Stephanie was incredibly responsive and hospitable. We would highly recommend this Airbnb and hope to visit again soon!”

“What a hidden gem! We enjoyed every moment staying at the container house. It had everything: the view was splendid, the baby cows were friendly, the house was full with condiments (egg, fresh milk and even chocolate for quick snack), the house was super clean, and Stephanie was very thorough in her instructions. Definitely will repeat.”

“A beautiful relaxing, peaceful country stay, just out of the city. It was nice to have breakfast and snacks included, and fresh farm eggs. Home was very well set up with everything you might need. There was even new toothbrushes in case you forgot yours! Comfortable bed, good shower pressure. Highly recommend staying here.”

“For the past two weeks, my partner and I traveled all over New Zealand and stayed at a different Airbnb almost every night. Stephanie's place was by far the nicest, cleanest stay. We loved the container home. Stephanie did an eloquent job of combining farm life with a chic, cozy place that makes you feel right at home.”

“A very warm, private, and immaculate place. Set back from the road with great privacy and beautifully maintained throughout. The kitchen is well equipped with a gas stove, the smart TVs are a bonus, and the bathroom is modern with a good shower. Very responsive and welcoming host. Highly recommended!”

“We felt right at home. It was spotlessly clean, cozy and had this certain feeling, small details and lovingly decorated. The host is wonderful. The stay was a little timeout to be able to take a short breath before continuing the tour the next day. We recommend the place to anyone, a real gem.”

“Exceptional stay.”

“The container house was lovely and had everything we needed. Stephanie's communication was perfect and the finishing touches were greatly appreciated. This was the perfect location for us on our journey south and loved the setting with only trees and cows to be seen. We will be back I'm sure.”

“We spent our last night in the South Island here, and it was superb. If you prefer the sound of nature, fresh air and stars instead of the hustle of a busy city, then this is the place for you. Well designed, extremely comfortable, superb host and very easy trip to the airport. 10/10.”

“La casa ha gli spazi organizzati in modo perfetto, pur non avendo una superficie enorme ha spazio per tutto e la pulizia è impeccabile. Non mi è mai successo di trovare così tante comodità. E poi Stephanie, la host, è di una gentilezza, generosità e cortesia uniche.”

“It was the best accommodation of my life. The surrounding natural environment and the cleanliness of the house were really good, and the milk was really good. It's an accommodation that really decorated the best part of my trip. I recommend it to everyone.”

“It was a great and lovely place. The host Stephanie is friendly and sweet. Everything was perfect, and clean. We had a great day. You can see the cows walking around in front of the house. Very peaceful and nice place. We would love to visit again.”

“Stephanie's Airbnb was perfect and just what I needed after a long day to come home and relax. It's very remote which makes it all the better getting away from the hustle and bustle. I'll definitely recommend to friends and fellow travellers.”

“Gewoonweg een fantastisch ingerichte container voorzien van alle gemakken. Mooie tuin met uitzicht op weiland en een jacuzzi in de tuin, heerlijk. Stephanie is uiterst vriendelijk. Uitstekend om een nacht te verblijven op doorreis.”

“Beautiful location and easy to drive to Christchurch, Methven and other small town spots! Lots to do. Host was lovely and got to meet the wonderful animals! Very peaceful and we loved the view of the cows out the window.”

“The environment is quiet, the interior design is exquisite, the sky is full of stars, the cows welcome you morning and evening, the kitchenware is complete, and there are two big bottles of fresh milk. It's really good.”

“Just loved this quirky little place from the minute we arrived. Lovely touches. And the cows... just fabulous for cooking a simple meal and sitting watching them. So relaxing. Favourite place of a two week trip.”

“Einfach alles! Die Ausstattung, die freundliche Vermieterin, die ruhige Lage, die Sauberkeit, die Liebe zum Detail, das Internet, Fernsehen. Es hatte frische Eier aus eigener Freilaufhaltung, einfach köstlich!”

“I had a lovely time staying at Stephanie's place and will definitely be returning! I enjoyed the farm tour and getting up close and personal with her animals. I will definitely be back!”

“Such a tranquil and tidy home that gives you the chance to enjoy nature. Definitely one of the best Airbnbs I've stayed at. Stephanie was very kind and accommodating.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We really enjoyed our stay at Brookside. Stephanie is a welcoming host that has thought of everything. We were impressed with all the little extras. Outstanding value for the experience provided. We found the container house clean, comfortable and private for a few days of relaxing. We look forward to staying again in the future.”

“We really enjoyed staying at Stephanie's place. It's quiet, peaceful in a beautiful countryside area. The place is super clean, tidy, has everything you need. Stephanie is such a great host, clear instructions and very thoughtful touches like snacks, offering to turn heating on etc. Very responsive host! Highly recommend.”

“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. I really appreciated Stephanie offering for my children to meet the farm animals and help to feed them. Lucky kids!”

“Quiet rural location but easy to find. Spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything in excellent condition. Bed was very comfortable. Milk and nibbles left for us by host which was much appreciated. This was an overnight stop to break a long journey but so wish we had booked a few more nights!”

“We loved staying at this peaceful cottage. The animals were awesome, the place was comfortable and clean, the breakfast was amazing, and it was just great all around. We loved staying there right after a long day of travel as it was a nice place to reset. Stephanie was very nice and welcoming.”

“Exceptional stay.”

“Absolutely wonderful stay. We would have stayed longer! We arrived after a long day biking in the rain to this beautiful, warm, dry home, with the heat pump thoughtfully left on for us. Spotlessly clean and such a comfortable bed. Stephanie was a really communicative and thoughtful host too.”

“Everything was clean, checking in was totally easy, the location is just perfect with peaceful environment and cows roaming the paddock right outside your door. Considering the price we paid which was considerably cheap, Brookside BnB is beyond amazing. Totally love this place.”

“We absolutely loved our stay in Stephanie's container house. It is inside and outside very lovely made and very clean and very private as well. Especially we enjoyed the deck and the whirlpool. Fresh eggs, milk and snacks were a bonus. We would come back any time.”

“Stephanie's place was beautiful to spend a night in. We enjoyed watching the sunset and the stars come out from the spa pool. Watching the ducks patrol the property was so cute. Stephanie gave great recommendations for local walks that we really enjoyed.”

“A stunning place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Absolutely loved it. Stephanie is the perfect hostess taking time out of her busy day to show us around her lovely farm and help in any way she could. I highly recommend this beautiful place.”

“Our stay at Stephanie's was exactly what we needed, nice peaceful spot no traffic noise, just the birds and friendly livestock. The stars at night were amazing from the hot tub! Bed was incredible. Thanks Stephanie it was great to meet you!”

“Unique place, in shipping containers converted to a very comfortable lodging. We enjoyed the breakfast supplies that were provided. Everything was comfortable and Stephanie provided great communication to help us enjoy our stay.”

“Kitchen was well-equipped with everything you may need. The organic cherry tomatoes were delicious and eggs and milk were also provided. Place was very comfortable and we would easily recommend this place to our friends!”

“What an outstanding find!! 6 stars to Stephanie. Everything is so stylish and top quality - in a container!!! And in such serene and beautiful surroundings. Amazing value for money... with breakfast and cows as well.”

“Breakfast was very good and the extra touches of farm fresh milk and eggs made it really special. Not a negative for us but it really is remotely in the country so be prepared for views of green grass and cows!”

“We had such a lovely stay and Stephanie was a superb host, so helpful and we loved seeing the animals too. A very clean and spacious place and it had everything we needed! Would highly recommend this place!!”

“My favorite Air BB throughout my NZ trip! Stephanie greeted me warmly upon my arrival and ensured I had everything I needed. The space is beautiful with so much to offer. I would absolutely stay again!”

“Absolutely the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in! Stephanie is the hostess of the year and has thought of every single detail a guest could want or need. Only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!”

“Such a lovely clean place with everything you needed and the hot tub was great! This was our last night on our NZ holiday and it was the best B&B we stayed in! Just wish we were staying longer.”

“Who knew that a house this gorgeous, comfortable and super well designed could be created out of containers? Exceptional and unique. Thank you Stephanie, this experience was fantastic!”
