Downstairs, open-plan living combines the lounge, dining, and kitchen areas into a cosy and inviting space. Curl up with a book, stream your favourite shows on the Chromecast-enabled TV, or simply gaze out the windows for a spot of stargazing at night. The fully fenced courtyard offers peace of mind for families with children and pets, providing a safe and secure space to relax and play. On balmy summer evenings, fire up the BBQ and enjoy a classic Kiwi meal around the outdoor picnic table. Sleeping arrangements are as unique as the home itself. Enjoy open-plan sleeping areas on each level for a more sociable, airy layout instead of fully enclosed rooms. Stairs to the second level take you to a queen and single bed, while a ladder to the third level leads to the very top point of The Sorting Hat — a king bed with a truly magical view. A washing machine, iron, and ironing board provide convenience for longer stays, while off-street parking adds extra ease for you and your guests. Pleasant Point boat ramp is conveniently close by, with ample parking for cars and boats, and you’re less than a 20-minute walk to local shops, cafés, and Royal Billy Point. Whether you’re here to launch the boat, hit the beach, or simply unwind in a special setting, The Sorting Hat offers a rustic yet comfortable escape in the heart of Pauanui. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking. Please note, this property is strictly no smoking The beds are located on the second and third levels in open sleeping spaces. This property may not be suitable for all guests as the stairs are steep, stairs to the second level at the property have a barrier below 1 metre high; and the third level is accessed via a ladder. The ladder to the third level is steep and lacks a handrail. Extra caution is advised and the property may not be suitable for adults with limited mobility or for young children unless closely supervised. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;
