About this property

Cosy countryside retreat with spectacular views!

Enjoy the lovely setting of this romantic getaway. Sit and relax and take in the spectacular, far reaching views from this tiny house. Set on 4 acres, deep in the countryside, you are surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. Yet only one hour from central Auckland.
A private deck adjoins this lovely place with outdoor furniture to chill out on and watch the hawks soar by.
A gas bbq, fully fenced garden and fairy lights completes the outdoor space.
Feel free to explore the paddocks. Have a picnic by the pond (garden furniture also provided) or check out our two resident ponies Teddy and Chloe. Also say hello to our 3 ragdoll cats!
The accommodation is not overlooked and feels very private.
Large comfy sofa to relax on whilst watching tv or a dvd. Wifi available. The sofa pulls out to make a comfy double size sofa bed for extra guests. (Bedding provided)
Kitchen includes seating area with bar stools. Hotplate, airfryer, toaster and kettle, microwave and bar fridge.
We are situated 25 mins drive to Warkworth, a great town with shops, supermarkets and fantastic cafes, bars and restaurants. We are also approx 1/2 hours drive to the famous and very popular Matakana Market. Gibbs farm is also very close by as too is Omeru reserve with is awesome waterfalls.
We do not interact with guests unless invited to do so.
