About this property
The Little Prairie - Your Native Bush Retreat
Just 30 minutes north of New Plymouth and only 5 minutes from local beaches and cafés, The Little Prairie is a truly unique off-grid retreat—powered by the sun and nourished by its own pure spring water.
With plenty of open space to breathe, it’s the perfect haven for those looking to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The space
Welcome to The Little Prairie
Tucked away in nature’s embrace, The Little Prairie offers a peaceful escape where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the simple joys of life.
Our off-grid haven runs on a harmonious blend of solar, gas, (and a back up generator should you require), with pure spring water sourced straight from our own natural spring. The property features a cozy three-bedroom cottage crafted entirely from beautiful, recycled native timber, as well as a charming two-bedroom boutique cabin situated approximately 50 metres away—perfect for families or groups of friends seeking space and serenity.
Spend your days surrounded by native bush, wander to the waterfall, or unwind by one of the two outdoor fire pits. Soak beneath the stars in an outdoor bath, watch the kids play in their own little playhouse, or simply relax under the trees on the unique swing.
And don’t be surprised if you’re joined by our affectionate resident tabby cat, always happy to share a little love with guests.
Cat-loving dogs are very welcome too.
Come and experience the calm, charm, and warmth that make The Little Prairie so special.
