About Walnut Grove Lodge

Your Home Away From Home

Set on over half an acre of park-like gardens, Walnut Grove Lodge is a private, spacious retreat designed for large groups.

With six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and flexible bedding for up to 27 guests, it’s ideal for reunions, retreats, and wedding stays.

Inside, the lodge features vaulted timber ceilings, new carpet throughout (2023), and open-plan living spaces that feel both comfortable and functional.

A fully equipped kitchen, cosy lounge, and modern amenities—including WiFi, Sky TV, and professionally laundered linen—make it easy to settle in and feel at home.

Outside, you’ll find a full-size tennis court, spa pool, and kids’ playground nestled under the shade of a magnificent walnut tree.

The property is tucked down a private drive behind electric gates, offering both security and peace.

Centrally located just 6 km from Christchurch Airport and a short drive to the city centre, Riccarton, Merivale, and Northlands, everything you need is within reach.
Local shops, bus stops, and the popular Jelly Park Aquatic Centre are all nearby.

Whether you’re planning a multi-day event or simply need a base for your group to explore Christchurch, Walnut Grove Lodge combines space, comfort, and location in a setting that feels truly personal.

Note: Events involving additional guests (not staying overnight) must be arranged in advance and may incur a venue fee and bond.
