The Neighbourhood
Melrose is a beautiful, peaceful, and secluded rural area characterized by rolling farmlands and a sense of complete privacy. The large property itself, Waughambeham, is set on acres of manicured grounds, offering a quiet escape.

The property's rural location makes a private vehicle essential for getting around and exploring the region. Enjoy ample off-street parking on the property grounds. Devonport is approximately 10-15 minutes away, offering access to car rental services.
Guest Access
Guests will have private and exclusive access to the entire 4-bedroom main house. Guests will also have shared use of the private, full-size tennis court and basketball hoop on the grounds with guests staying at the back unit, which is also a short-term rental.
