Description from owner

Description

If you are after peace and quiet and enjoy the tranquility of being in the country then this is the place for you. No other houses are visible from ours yet we are only 15mins from the town!

*Free farm tour included*

The house sits on top of a ridge overlooking native bush and farmland with views of the Tasman Sea in the distance. The property is a 75 acre farm with sheep, cattle, pigs, goats and birds.

Guests can spend time in the paddocks with the good natured stock and feed the pigs and birds anytime.

*Traveling with children? We have a loads of toys and children's books for a wide age range.

Our house is completely off-grid. All our power comes from a solar panel array. All our water is rainwater collected from the roof. Many of the features in the house are from building recyclers.

* There are tea and coffee making facilities and a small fridge in your room. A simple breakfast of muesli and Greek yoghurt/milk.

The property is 2mins from the Arahura River - an important source of pounamu (jade) on the West Coast. Wander the river banks to see if you can find you own piece of jade.

We are only a 5min drive to the beach which is a beautifully wild place filled with amazing driftwood and pebbles - a great place for a bonfire.

** Please note your bedroom is upstairs**.

*As we are off-grid we do not have A/C, microwave, electric blankets, clothes dryer or dishwasher.*

We are busy people who work hard. We value our family time in the evenings. We prefer independent guests who enjoy their own space and privacy. We are happy to give you plenty of tips and advice about local attractions/history/places to eat and shop and tips on travel in NZ. I am happy to show you round the farm, just arrange a time with me. Otherwise you can wander around on your own. Your privacy will be respected, and I will not enter your room during your stay.
