3-bed gem in Birdlings Flat with stunning lake & ocean views – a rare retreat!

We have moved the listing over to Bachcare, under Pebble Shore Haven. Step back in time at our three-bedroom lakefront home with stunning sea views, nestled in the heart of Birdlings Flat.

This comfortable and pet-friendly family home offers the perfect base to experience the rugged beauty of the area, just 200 meters from the treasure-filled beach. Spend your days beachcombing or exploring the dramatic coastline, then unwind in the evening at the bar while soaking in the officially recognised Dark Sky nights.

Only 40 minutes from Christchurch, our unique getaway offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature — ideal for families, couples, or anyone looking to relax and reconnect.
