Just 1 hour from Christchurch city Little River is the gateway to the world-renowned picturesque Banks Peninsula and offers the perfect countryside escape. Accommodation with a unique point of difference, custom designed and architecturally award-winning, humble grain silos repurposed into innovative, stylish and envirofriendly pods self contained with everything one would need to enjoy a few days and nights of relaxation and rejuvenation. Luxuriously comfortable and with cutting edge, bespoke design the industrial theme of the downstairs kitchen surrenders to a sumptuous first floor bedroom, ascending a sculptural steel staircase.
The silo provides a haven of intimacy where you can close off the world outside. The upstairs bedroom contains a TV/DVD player, and a multi-functional music headboard that utilizes a car stereo to play your tunes, charge your devices and provide moody lighting. The upper level includes a balcony with views but the quirky appeal lies in the ceiling 'hatch' which lifts off to make way for a view to the sky - you can lie in bed gazing at the stars or if you catch the weather at the right time you can watch raindrops or snow flakes settle on the glass above. Winter is a delicious treat in a silo with double glazing, sheep wool insulation and a heating system fueled by burning recycled wood pellets.
SiloStay is nestled amongst delicious eateries plus an Art Gallery featuring NZ made art, jewellery, sculpture and design.
SiloStay is the launch pad to secluded Peninsula bays, stolen vistas and gourmet Akaroa. Full of nature walks, cycle trails and scenic drives to amazing bays and beaches and home to many native NZ birds, Alpacas, seals and dolphins...just to name a few. Experience true, award-winning Kiwi ingenuity!
