International award-winning character country cottage boasting stunning views of the Waipuka hills and Pacific Ocean. Built in French colonial style, with generous verandahs, extensive gardens, en-suite bathrooms, underfloor heating, BBQ, and a wood burner – perfect for a weekend stay Set in 16 acres of beautiful grounds, you can enjoy views across our herb gardens, generous lawns and the neighbouring farmland to the rising sun across the ocean. Listen the songs of korimako, riroriro, tui, thrush and the rolling surf while relaxing on our generous verandahs, swimming in our magnesium pool, bathing outside in the hot-tub, treating yourself to an infra-red sauna or making use of the gym. Underfloor heating, and the wood-fire make our cottage cosy in the short-winters, or open the doors and let the outside in from your own private garden. A double bedroom with en-suite bathroom (and bath) is perfect for a couple, and the twin-room (with it's own bathroom) works really well for the kids or friends. These beds can be joined to make a super-king bed as well. There is a separate 6 bedroom homestead beside the cottage, and if this is rented during your stay the facilities will be shared. There is also a yoga studio on site, which can be made available at an addition cost.
