The Vicarage Geraldine - Southern Lakes
The Vicarage Geraldine is a landmark building, originally constructed in 1900 as the residence for the local Anglican vicar. Today, after an extensive and sensitive restoration, it offers boutique accommodation that blends historic character with contemporary style and comfort. Located in the centre of Geraldine, the lodge features six spacious ensuite bedrooms, each individually styled with super king/twin beds, fine linens, and modern bathrooms. Guests enjoy the convenience of self check-in, ensuring flexibility and privacy, along with the charm of staying in a heritage property with a fascinating story.
Breakfast and brunch are served next door at Barker’s Foodstore & Eatery, a celebrated local institution known for showcasing fresh regional produce. This unique arrangement allows guests to immerse themselves in Geraldine’s artisan food culture.
The Vicarage is also perfectly placed for exploring the South Canterbury region. Geraldine itself offers boutique shopping, cafés, art galleries, and walking trails, while further afield lie Tekapo, Aoraki/Mt Cook, and the Southern Alps. Nearby prisitine forests offer easily accessible walking tracks.
At The Vicarage, history, style, and hospitality combine to create a boutique stay that feels both timeless and warmly welcoming—a perfect stopover between Christchurch and the Southern Lakes.
