Bentleys Country Stay is located in the heart of North Canterbury with amazing views of the Mountains which are stunning to look at in all seasons. We have 10 acres of flat land to explore, enjoying all the wide open space and listening to the natural sounds of nature. The apartment is spacious and warm with all facilities you would expect, plus a few more. Relax and unwind in the spa pool gazing up at the stars or the wide open views.
I was born and bred in the South Island then left for my OE in 1990. After returning to New Zealand in 1996, I made Rotorua (North Island) my home and have just recently relocated permanently to the South Island, where we have acquired Bentleys Country Stay. My husband, Adrian, and I share a big love of New Zealand and are passionate about the great outdoors and wanting to share our experiences.
Hawarden is a small village in the heart of North Canterbury with a very friendly community spirit. Hawarden is also centrally located to Mount Lyford Ski Field, Kaikoura, Hanmer Springs, Christchurch, Flaxmere Gardens, Lake Sumner Forest Park
