SiloStay is an accommodation complex like no other, situated in the heart of the beautiful township of Little River, just 40 minutes from picturesque Akaroa.  Bespoke, innovative and stylish - utilising sustainable products, local resources and talent; nine silos' have been converted into modern and unique serviced apartments.  An experience to remember, rated 4.5 stars by Qualmark. 

The ground floor is equipped with a custom fitted kitchenette for all cooking needs, a relaxed seating area, toilet and external balcony.  The stylish and luxurious second floor bedroom , bathroom and balcony are accessed via a sculptural steel staircase. The  Silo Apartment sleeps two adults, the Accessible Silo Apartment sleeps up to two adults and two children in an open plan layout.

Clever design is evident in all aspects of SiloStay – clientele will appreciate the ability to house their bike or kayak on the specially designed hanging rack. Cycling clientele will appreciate the prime location, adjacent to the Christchurch to Little River Rail Trail.

SiloStay has been designed and built using innovative eco-friendly systems. Wool has been used as the insulation of choice - under floor, in the walls and in the ceiling. A waste bi-product of the production of timber is used to heat the units in winter. Passive cooling in summer means simply open the hatch at the top of silo. 

Even the waste water system is planet friendly - ‘Biolytix’.  The BioPod harnesses the energy in the waste (including the sewage, toilet paper and food waste) to nourish the organisms that break down the waste. Nothing is wasted. 

Stay somewhere unique - enjoy the eco-friendly SiloStay experience, and explore the beauty of the rugged landscape of the Banks Peninsula region.
