Welcome to our little slice of paradise - 22 hectares of mixed farm land set in the foothills of the Torlesse Range & bordered by 2 remnant forest bush reserves. The property has extensive native planting along with grazing.

And in the evening rejuvenate in the wood-fired sauna with cold plunge bath beneath an incredible star-filled night sky. Inside, there's a TV with DVD player with some old favourites to watch, along with wifi access if you need it. The bach sleeps up to 8 people & is a separate, private wing attached to the main house. The bach has its own private garden area & a courtyard with a pizza oven. Relax & enjoy.

We are keen outdoors people & are passionate about creating a beautiful environment thriving with biodiversity. We have extensive native plantings in amongst our farm paddocks & wetland areas, and along with our neighbours are looking to attract even more birdlife and bush. We would love to welcome you to our little piece of paradise.

Kowai Bush is a very small, quiet, historic settlement sited alongside the Tranz Alpine Express railway line. It sits in the foothills of the Torlesse Range & is home to two of the last remnants of indigenous lowland forest in Canterbury. Across the community there is a focus on reforesting the area and establishing a natural corridor to connect the two forests.
