🚀 A stay that’s out of this world... literally. 🚀

Sleep in a UFO! This complex is basically a private resort and is absolutely wild! We had the pleasure of staying here and creating some contents a few years ago and couldn't speak more highly about it!!!

Tucked away just 25 minutes from Christchurch, you’ll find one of the rarest stays on the planet: a fully restored 1974 Futuro House — one of only 50 ever made! Step inside this retro-futuristic spaceship and be instantly transported to a wild mix of 1970s charm and space-age design.

🌟 Voted “Unique Stay of the Year 2022”
🚗 Free pickup/drop-off in a brand new black TESLA (for 2+ night stays)
🏊‍♂️ Pool, spa, sauna, outdoor shower — all set within beautifully landscaped grounds
🛸 Sleeps up to 3 adults & 2 kids in the UFO, with extra space in a luxe tiny house, retro games room, and a rare Concord caravan

Inside the UFO, you'll find rare vintage pieces from Verner Panton and Luigi Colani, giving the space a museum-meets-playhouse vibe. Plus, a full retro arcade games room, and even a 70s/80s McDonald’s playground on site! This is the kind of stay that makes you feel like you're time-traveling — past and future colliding in the best way possible.

🔐 Private, secure property with electric gates
🛌 Perfect for couples, families, or small groups looking for a completely unique experience

~$585 (plus fees) for 5 people!

Guest Reviews:

“We were totally blown away. Every detail in the Futuro house is perfect — you can feel the love that’s gone into restoring it. The Tesla pickup was such a cool bonus!”
Megan, April 2025, Airbnb

“Like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Retro design, arcade games, sauna, UFO house — and even a playground from the 80s? Just book it, you won’t regret it.”
