Welcome to Scrubby Bay at Annandale

Your Bay. Your People. Your Time. Warmly embraced on both sides by the surrounding hills and facing a private bay, Scrubby Bay is a magical and completely private setting for gatherings.

Situated in its own private bay, this luxurious cedar-clad beach house makes a magical private setting for family and friends to gather.  

Warmly embraced on both sides by the surrounding hills, Scrubby Bay is a magical and completely private setting for up to 14 guests. In life, it’s people that count, and this is the perfect location for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of family and friendship.

Either a spectacular helicopter flight or a breath-taking 45-minute 4WD transfer across the cliff-top farm tracks will bring you to this remote and private bay, which is in a spectacular valley on the outer reaches of the Annandale property.

In this amazing and isolated location, it would be easy to imagine yourself one of the early pioneers but for the modern comforts to be found in the luxurious beach house. A sun-drenched deck, three ocean-front bedroom suites plus a bunk room that can sleep 8, and a huge open plan dining and living space, well stocked with books and games for all ages, mean there is plenty of space for everyone to relax and do their own thing, coming together as and when you choose. 

Whether you are marking a special occasion or just taking a break from the hectic pace of life, you will leave Scrubby Bay with a fresh perspective and a warmer heart.

Annandale is a luxury coastal farm escape offering five award-winning villas for exclusive use, providing an authentic kiwi experience, privacy and relaxation.  Set on the stunning Banks Peninsula near Christchurch where rolling farmland, open skies and the sparkling waters of the Pacific greet you. Five distinct and luxurious villas are dotted across the 4,000-acre working farm. Each one is perfectly positioned to ensure absolute privacy.

The villas can be booked individually or together to suit your accommodation needs, with a number of configurations available. The other four villas are Shepherds Cottage, Seascape, The Homestead and The Stables.

Multi-villa properties can be hired individually or as a full property.

Signature Experiences

Annandale Experiences

While the villas on Annandale offer every luxury and comfort on the inside, it’s what is on the outside that truly sets it apart - the sparkling turquoise waters for kayaking and boating, the spectacular farmland for hiking and biking, or your private villa for cooking classes and spa services. 

Annandale Highlights Tour

Just as the tide ebbs and flows, the seasons and colours of the 4,000-acre Annandale farm change throughout year, from luscious greens in spring to tussocky golds by autumn, and we encourage guests to explore and be as hands-on as they like:

The Annandale Highlights tour is a guided 4WD tour across the farm. Experience sheep dogs at work and enjoy the atmosphere of the shearing shed. If you’re lucky, you may even see the skilled shearers in action.
