Come & enjoy a holiday in this quiet, sundrenched holiday home. You will be staying in a large self contained, 2 story, 2 bedroom place, attached to the main house of the owners, but private and separated by a large 3 bay shed. Everything you need is within walking distance. 2 minute, flat walk to the end of the street and you're at the beautiful Ngunguru estuary. Here you can launch your boat or just relax under the big Pohutakawa tree while the kids explore the rockpools or swing under the tree. Only 800 metres to the local dairy, takeaways and cafe. Please note: *ONLY BOOKED GUESTS ARE PERMITTED ON THE PROPERTY, NO VISITORS. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU HAVE BOOKED THE CORRECT NUMBER OF GUESTS BEFORE YOU ARRIVE. *STRICTLY NO PARTIES - THIS BACH IS CONNECTED TO OUR FAMILY HOME.
