About this property

Waikawa House, lovely modern home in quiet setting

The Waikawa/ Curio Bay area is renowned for its attractions, the Waikawa Museum (2 minutes walk) has all the information. You can be a busy as you want or just chill out and relax in the lovely modern warm Waikawa House. Set on a large section, it is off the road and quite. The setting is nice and close to all the local attractions but still has privacy and space. There are 4 local places to dine, some are seasonal, but we recommend them all as good local establishments . There is also another 2 places to dine 30 minutes away, so you are spoilt for choice for such a remote area. Do bring provisions as it is a 30 minute drive to the local Dairy.
Special conditions:
No pets, smoking outside only.
***Please take note of the signpost photo this is where you need to turn onto drive that leads to the house. The drive is behind the signpost.***Public hoilday weekends, minimum stay 2 nights

Tidy modern house with everything we needed

We stayed here for one night and enjoyed our time here. Very handy to Curio Bay and with a great little cafe just up the road the other direction. Beds comfy, and kitchen well stocked. Great communication with owner, very easy and enjoyable stay.

Very friendly and communicative owner.

Very friendly and communicative owner. The property was very clean and well serviced with every facility necessary within a home environment. All you need are food and liquid supplies as there are no facilities for such within easy reach, and there are no phone or internet connection. A luxury hideaway that I would highly recommend.

Well presented property, loved the space and comfort. Made use of BBQ and rosemary .... bit difficult to find as planned checking photos when arrived as advised, but no cell phone reception.... my fault.

All good.

All good. It was a bit of a problem though to have neither internet nor phone signal. We ended up sitting outside the museum next door to pay and use their hotspot, as we were touring and needed to confirm further bookings ahead. It would have been nice to have some small coffee cups- and egg cups!

About the host

Hosted by pipbl163

Host profile image
My husband and I farm locally on a sheep farm, we run 2100 breeding ewes, and winter 300 dairy cows.
We have two teenage boys who weekly board in Invercargill.

Why they chose this property

We think our house provides a beautiful quite setting for larger groups or just a couple. Everyone who has stayed has enjoyed the peaceful location and love the native bird song. Still very handy to all the local attractions, this modern, clean and warm hose is ideal. I am developing the gardens to be easy care with mass planting, and may retire here myself.
