Kumiko's Guest House

Über uns

Influenced by Kumiko’s heritage, the house comprises many of the elements found in the gracious architecture of traditional Japan: an internal courtyard (genken) featuring the timeless composition of a zen garden; wide verandas designed for sitting within nature; interior spaces that include the extensive use of wood and stone; sliding screens that divide or expand spaces; a sunken dining room that encourages a sense of occasion at the table; and extensive architectural gardens that reflect the dramatic views of the shifting North Canterbury skies.

When you book to stay with us at Kumiko’s, you are booking the full use of the house and gardens. Everything on offer here is yours to enjoy.
