About the host
Hosted by ApplebyHouse

We love making special spaces for our guests to enjoy. We love our property it is a very special place and it lovely that we can share this.
Why they chose this property
This area of New Zealand is very special we have 360 views from the Mt Arthur Ranges to the Richmond Hills - it is like living in a postcard. We also have views to the Waimea Estuary a very special bird sanctuary. And just down the road is Rabbit Island - a stunning beach that is quiet all year round. We are also minutes from Rough Island Equestrian park.
Lots of walking, biking trails, picnic and BBQ areas.
If you want peace and quiet come here. We also have rivers close by for fresh water swimming. It is simply a special place.

What makes this property unique
Suitable for special couple getaways or for family reunions, weddings & special occasions. Perfect if you want to bring a group of people together. Lots of public and private spaces.
When you come and stay - our place becomes your place. We do live onsite but remote from both Appleby House & Rabbit Island Huts. There if you need otherwise we leave you to it.
We are very environmentally focused, our timber is milled locally, our stains for the Huts are 100% organic. We use 100% organic cleaning products or we make our own. Our waste system is the best environmental system possible. We recycle & have a composting system for all left overs. Our linens as much as possible are 100% cotton or linen. We love beautiful fabrics.
We try very hard to have a soft footprint on the land - our focus is to plant as many native plants as possible and allow the bird life to prosper. When we purchased the property it was a bare block - it is so nice to see how this has changed, the bird song now is amazing.
