Snuggled into private native gardens and enjoying surrounding hill country and snow capped mountain views.
Each time you leave the property to visit the city and other highlights that South Canterbury has to offer, your vista will be the many changing colours of the beautiful Pacific Ocean.
Originally a Plant Cloning Laboratory, Jonoah's Ark has been neatly transformed into a mini wildlife sanctuary inside and out.
The Ark, like Noah's has been built to withstand all sorts of weather and house all sorts of animals.
It has double glazing, is fully carpeted and tiled and has a heat pump/air conditioner. There are laundry facilities for personal clothes washing with various drying options, either dryer, rack or outside line. Huge 165 sq metres.

Ozzie the wallaby will greet you at the gate along with Betsy the black sheep of the family. Ozzie likes any bread scraps you may have left over. He loves having his ears tickled, so if you want to pat him, this is a wonderful way to get to feel how soft and adorable these lovely creatures are.
