Gunyah Country Lodge : Christchurch Lodge Accommodation, Country Estate Retreat, Vacation Resort
Description
The Lodge’s name “Gunyah”, from the Australian Aboriginal for 'little hut or shelter’, belies the grandeur of this magnificent property.
Built in 1912 for the son of former Prime Minister, Sir John Hall, the building’s exceptional calibre is endorsed by its New Zealand Historic Places Listing. It is also recognised by the National Business Review as one of the country’s Top One Hundred Houses for its historical significance and its Arts and Crafts Movement architecture.
Gunyah was once part of Terrace Station, one of the biggest holdings in Canterbury, and still retains its original granary and stables.
