Darfield

Welcome to

Bang in the middle of the Canterbury Plains, Darfield is home to everything you could need. Small enough to know your neighbours, yet big enough to stretch out and have some space. We like to claim some renowned bakeries in the area, as well as some lovely little cafes. An awesome place to raise a family, the proximity to the mountains and Christchurch makes it a great area to live in.

We have Christchurch just 40 minutes to the east, with beaches and the port hills; we have the mountains just 25 minutes to the west where you can mountain bike, hike, and ski. We have the mighty Rakaia River to our south and Waimakiriri to our North which covers those who love other outdoor pursuits.

As the main town between Christchurch and the West Coast region, it's often referred to as "The township under the Nor' West Arch". This is in reference to a weather phenomenon that often creates an arch of cloud, one which usually sits in an otherwise clear sky to the west of the township.

Darfield is a gateway to the scenic Southern Alps and Waimakariri and is also part of the Malvern districts' arable farming area. Surrounded by picturesque alpine views and high summer temperatures, Darfield is a beautiful yet remote place to call home.

Our experienced realtors have solid roots here in Darfield and are proud to be here to serve the town; please call in anytime.

Crafted by renowned architect, Robert Talboys, this cherished residence showcases beautiful timber detailing and thoughtful design throughout. Nestled on 5,059 m2 (approx) of private grounds and graced with stunning river views, 33 Riverbank Road is a property that truly tells a story — lovingly named ‘Rivercroft’, the property has been held and cared for by the same family for nearly 30 years. From the moment you arrive, the home’s timeless wood architecture and lush, leafy setting create an air of quiet elegance. Inside, rich wood detailing sets a warm, inviting tone across a large living room, three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate office, all thoughtfully arranged across two levels to offer both comfort and flexibility. A formal dining room, rich in character, provides the option for a fourth bedroom or additional living space — perfect for growing families or hosting guests. Step into the beautifully sundrenched covered deck area, your private haven for morning coffees and evening wines. Sit and watch the rowers paddle gracefully on the sparkling river below, and even wave to the historic Waimarie paddle steamer as it glides past —a quintessential Whanganui moment. It’s a scene straight out of a postcard — and it's all yours. But the charm doesn’t stop there. Outdoors, the home continues to impress with beautifully maintained grounds, a studio room nestled within the double garage (ideal for artists, teens or hobbies), workshop and ample vehicle storage including three-car garaging plus a single carport. Just a short seven-minute drive from the city centre, this riverside sanctuary feels like a world of its own. 33 Riverbank Road is more than just a home — it’s steeped in love, history and heart. Come see why it’s been adored for decades — and why you’ll never want to leave.
