Welcome to Menteith Country House

Warm, relaxing country hospitality in Christchurch, New Zealand

The Chester from the street

Awake to morning birdsong from your warm spacious room or catch the world’s news on your in-room TV while sipping your morning tea or coffee. In summer a pre-breakfast swim or spa in the indoor heated conservatory invigorates the body before a day of adventure exploring Christchurch, Akaroa or a return journey across the Alps by train.

View across garden from the Port Hills room.

While enjoying your hearty breakfast in our sunny dining room, Stephen will enlighten you on the specialty honeys produced by the family while you savour the flavours. Fay is an avid spinner of differing fibres and is happy to demonstrate her craft- you are very welcome to try your hand!

Menteith named after an ancient Scottish Graham clan, nestles among mature trees with great views of hills and mountains while an easy 15 minute drive takes you to the city or airport. We say 'we have the best of both worlds' - country tranquillity yet quick access to city facilities and we feel sure you will agree when you stay at Menteith Country House.

Enjoy relaxing around the pool. Be pampered with crisp linen, large fluffy towels, refrigerator, tea and coffee facilities, TV, phone, hairdryer, robes and slippers, heating and warm cosy beds.

Join us any evening for pre-dinner drinks and help with your travel plans if needed. Nearby, a collection of delightful restaurants featuring New Zealand produce offer relaxed dining.

After a life in tourism mostly at Franz Josef Glacier, our retirement interests include skiing, golf, Rotary, genealogy , travel and our 2 delightful grand-daughters. Welcome to Menteith for warm, relaxing hospitality .

Smoking is welcome outside.
