The Little Church Retreat is located at Flints Bush, which is approximately 30km from Invercargill and Winton and 15km from Riverton.
We have 13 acres incorporating the little church, expansive gardens and 2000 hazelnut trees for people to visit and enjoy.
The little church has been restored, retaining its original t&g flooring and internal wall linings. The windows however, have been replaced as the original windows were removed and destroyed.
The bathroom has been made to allow for wheelchair access and has a wet-floor area with a sunken spa bath.
The kitchen is confined within the main church area on a raised floor that has an altar type table that seats four. Gas hobb and air conditioning have been installed for convenience and comfort.
The main church area incorporates a luxurious queen sized bed, couches and television. All of which can be removed in order to facilitate the area for a wedding ceremony or other type function.
Breakfast has been provided, though self contained. You will find cereals, breads, fruit, bacon and eggs to cook and serve at your convenience, with a departure time of 11.00am.
This can be enjoyed through French doors that lead to a large decking set in a private lawn area.
A marquee can be provided for functions where extra space is required. Self-catering or service catering.
You can take The Southern Scenic Route to Milford Sound and along the way visit Tuatapere, Manapouri and Te Anau.
Spend the day cycling, tramping, fishing or visiting Riverton beach, then return and relax at The Little Church.
As your hosts, Sally and Ross Tily, we both spend much of our time in Invercargill along with our two children, Amanda and Brad. I am in part-time employment and along with the kids spend a couple of days a week on after school activities, but am usually home, two to three days a week. We can always be contacted and can assist with any query you may have.
