One bedroom one bathroom sleep out with kitchenette. One king size bed and a pull out sofa bed. Would suggest this for children only for the limited room. Can provide a travel cot for infants if organised in advance. 10 mins away from Kai Iwi beach and a 20-25mins drive to Whanganui. We are situated on the main highway but far enough to not hear traffic. Great location for kids to run around. The space The sleep out is located right behind our house and the exterior is a work in progress. The sleep out itself is brand new and you are more than welcome to wonder around our garden. There is also a sauna for your private use if you wish. We have kids, a cat and a dog (golden retriever) and some chooks (free eggs for breakfast?!) on the property. We also have cows as this is a dairy farm. We supply tea, coffee, milk etc but otherwise the accommodation is self catered. There is an oven/toaster and bbq for heating meals however no cooktop so please plan meals accordingly. Guest access The entire sleep out is for your use. You are more than welcome to use our garden area too. Keep in mind that we have small children and a dog - we will try our best to keep you unbothered during your stay but be aware of it. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113600000/113590500/113590488/e5bda797.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hawkstone Hideaway - Your Peaceful Getaway Ratana - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 3 reviews £77 includes taxes & fees 21 Dec - 22 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-21&endDate=2025-12-22&selected=113590488&PinnedHotelID=113590488&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114860000/114860000/114859957/95e4871b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tiny living, Big escape!
