The space A huge and dramatic space with expansive sea/port views, three bedrooms, two luxurious bathrooms, a huge commercial scale kitchen, sunny garden, private terrace and all of Lyttelton and the Banks Peninsula at your doorstep. Rebuilt after the 2011 earthquakes, this building is like nothing else. The views are breathtaking, the huge timber trusses salvaged and re-used along with the massive Jarrah kitchen made from salvaged timber. This building started its life as a ship chandlery and coolstore, has been shipping offices and the Rugby Clubrooms. Today it is our home and the place of our business, Kingswood Skis. "The Rugby Club" as we still call it, is in the heart of Lyttelton township, with the sea out the front and the bars, cafes and restaurants of this thriving little village out the back. The house is only available when we are away, so you'll have complete privacy. Someone will be available to answer questions, replace linens or help in any way. Lyttelton is a special place, not just because of the ever-changing view of the working port, but because of the vibrant community that you'll notice immediately. There is always something happening here. There are great restaurants, lots of live music and the city and Banks Peninsula in easy reach. There are swimming beaches a short stroll away and endless stunning walks in the surrounding hills. Surf beaches are just through the tunnel and the hills and beach of the Banks Peninsula will easily fill your days with fun and exploration. A bus to Christchurch central city leaves out the front door every 20 minutes. There is a ferry across the road to Diamond Harbour. Christchurch (with International Airport) is only 20 minutes through the tunnel by car and the whole of the South Island within reach beyond. Guest access You'll have free run of this fabulous space, where you'll watch the changing view of the working port, cook great meals (Farmers Market and Supermarket out the back door!), visit iconic local bars and restaurants, drink great coffee, go for long walks and cool swims, head across the harbour on the ferry, charter a sailing boat or just relax in this warm and comfortable space.
