That proximity makes it an ideal base to explore the town's shops, cafes and attractions while returning to the peace and tranquility of this beautiful bush retreat. The property is surrounded by lush greenery with a gentle stream that runs through the property, creating a soothing soundtrack to your stay. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining area creates a warm and inviting space, ideal for spending time with family and friends or taking some well deserved time out for yourself. The rustic but modern kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals, while the lounge area provides a cozy spot to unwind. Early riser with a coffee in hand? Why not open up the bifold doors onto the balcony and relax with the gorgeous morning scenery and the melodic sounds of our native birds including our Kereru, Tui & Kaka. Children will have fun exploring & using the walking tracks the owner has created within the native surroundings. At night experiencing how our glow worms light up the darkened evening. Better yet take on the challenge of catching some fresh water crayfish or kōura in the stream. During the summer fire bans are allocated to the region but; IN THE WINTER take advantage of the man made bonfire pit. This area invites all to gather round and roast marshmallow's, play guitar & have a sing-along or just sit back and chill under the starry skies. This retreat offers a truly unforgettable getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life with ample parking for cars, trucks and boats you'll find yourself not wanting to leave.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and are looking at re-booking for next year with some friends as there is plenty of space inside and out! Plenty of parking too. Lovely forest views and awesome to hear and see the birds! Our son loved it by the stream with the rope swing and building dams. Glenn was an excellent host, checking in to see how we were getting on and if there was anything we needed. He asked for feedback so he could make any improvements for the next guests! We had a great holiday. Nadine, Mike & Hunter :) ##### nadine m.
