About

A magnificent, original homestead that was built in 1867, and beautifully restored.

A Beautiful, Original Homestead

Inglewood is a magnificent, original homestead that was built in 1867, once run as a stud and now listed as a Historic building. The homestead is nestled amongst 100 year old trees and park like gardens in picturesque Ohoka, North Canterbury – a rural haven just 20 minutes from Christchurch. It is far enough away from the crowds but close enough to enjoy all the city has to offer. The house has been restored over the years and retains its traditional 1860’s character and charm. Your hosts, Jane and Chris, have spent the last two years rejuvenating the home, and turning it into a beautiful, luxury holiday home.
 
Locally you can treat your taste buds at the beautiful North Canterbury Vineyards or spend a Friday morning wandering  the Ohoka farmers market, with supermarkets and shopping at Rangiora township just 5 minutes drive from Inglewood.
 
The homestead is exclusive, fully self contained boutique accommodation and sleeps up to 8 guests.

From Your Hosts Jane & Chris

Having both previously been involved with hospitality and tourism we were looking to find a character property with an established garden that could offer guests a retreat-like stay in the country while visiting Christchurch. Our homestead is a beautiful home for exclusive use or place for a special occasion to share with friends and family, away from the bustle of the city but not so far its inaccessible.
 
It has been absolute labour of love for the last two years, we really didn’t realise the magnitude of the job ahead. The hours  required to re-establish and rejuvenate the acres of lawn and gardens and redecorating the house from its neglected past.
 
We are looking forward to sharing Inglewood with our guests and creating memorable lifetime occasions.
