About this property
Peel Forest Slice of Paradise
Nestled up the hill in Blandswood this home sits in a very private and secluded setting amongst the beautiful native trees with spectacular views of little Mt Peel from the very large entertaining deck.
Wake to the sound of beautiful birdsong and watch the Kereru soar through the valley. Sit back on the deck with a good book or a drink and embrace the peacefulness and beauty that surrounds you. For those that wish to explore, there are many great walking tracks nearby whether you want something easy or a little more challenging.
The home is made up of 4 bedrooms - 3 queen rooms and one bunk room that can accommodate up to 10 people with the master having an ensuite complete with spa bath to relax your body after a day's adventuring. The main bathroom consists of a shower, toilet and tub and also houses a washing machine that is available for use. There is also a portacot and portable highchair available for toddlers.
The kitchen is well equipped with a fan oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, crockery, cutlery etc and many basic pantry items available for use. Tea and coffee is also provided. There is also a gas BBQ for use on the deck along fixed overhead electric heaters. Unfortunately the outdoor fire is locked and covered and is not available for use due to the high fire risk in the forest.
The house boasts a large array of DVD's, games and puzzles for you to enjoy and as there is a TV in the bunk room, this can be ideal for the young ones to have their own space and the adults a little time on their own. There is no SKY or Internet Connection available in this home but it does have a Spark booster that gives you a little better cellphone coverage.
Heating in this home is by way of log burner and a heat pump as well as wall mounted heaters throughout the house that can be used.
There is a large parking area for guests, however there are a few steps to access the house.
Geraldine is a short 15 minute drive away with a selection of eating places and shops.
All linen is provided and cleaning cost is included following your stay.
