Living Springs offers a diverse range of accommodation options to suit varying budgets and groups.
Harbour View (Sleeps 30)
In the main building, serviced twin and double rooms are available. Located close to the Harbour View conference room, this level of accommodation is often popular with corporate and community groups staying on-site for their meeting or conference.
Shared/Bunk (Sleeps 150)
As a camping option for schools, music and assorted other large groups, the bunk rooms are ideal. Each ‘bunk house’ has separate rooms with bunks in each, as well as a room with twin beds for parents, teachers or leaders. These bunk houses are warm and comfortable, and located beside the main building.
Bell Bird Heights (Sleeps 36)
Its namesake is the hundreds of Bell Birds in residence who sing each day, with the accommodation set amongst the bush with a view to the harbour. These recently refurbished self-contained units are two bedroom and one bedroom configurations, and a pleasant bunk house attached to a large conference room (with own kitchen) is located nearby.
The units have seen honey-mooners overnight, and the entire Bell Bird Heights area, including the bunk house, is regularly hired for families of wedding parties, and also for family reunions or groups.
Outdoor Camping Centre (OCC) (Sleeps 100+)
This is an outdoor camping site with views over Lyttelton Harbour. It has shower and toilet facilities and a kitchen/dining area. There are sites for approx. 30 tents. Tents are available for hire.
Bush Camp (Sleeps 40)
There is nothing quite like camping at the Living Springs ‘bush camp’. Tucked away into the hillside and barely visible from the main buildings, the bush camp is a real favourite with campers. Platforms large enough for a tent or two are discreetly hidden against the bush, and school campers generally spend at least one night out in the wilderness. A large open-fronted ‘barn’ has cooking facilities, a dry place to sit, and a memorable campfire for toasting marshmallows and telling stories around well into the night.
