A self-contained 2 bedroomed guest suite and lounge (attached to main house) surrounded by garden and paddocks to roam, forest and bush to explore, rivers to wade and swim in with lovely areas for all ages. Climb the hill through pine trees, pet the goats and ponies or just stay by the beautifully warm logfire in winter or sit on the deck listening to the birds. Staglands Wildlife Park and the Karapoti Track nearby, Upper Hutt 20 mins and Wellington 50 mins so we have it all! Come and try it! Your own entrance takes you to a cosy lounge with logfire and view out to the garden. The TV has Netflix and a chromecast. There is a small kitchenette for basic meals, a bathroom with shower and two bedrooms. The main bedroom has a comfortable king bed looking out to the garden with it's own TV with chromecast. The second bedroom has two singles. Wifi is unlimited. There is no cell phone coverage at the property but if you have wifi-calling on your phone you can make and receive cellphone calls and texts over wifi. The space is entirely yours with your own entrance at the end of a long flat drive. As you approach the house your guest suite is straight ahead and on the right up two steps onto a small deck. Parking is right next to your accommodation. Come and go as much as you like. If you let us know your approximate time of arrival we can restrict the doggy welcome our furry friends love to give. You can let yourself in with the key in the key safe by the door or it will be unlocked for you. If possible we'll make sure you arrive to a warm log fire on those chilly days/nights.
We are now retired and our children are coming back with their children. We aim to offer a taste of New Zealand, a glimpse of nature to be treasured for the next generations. There is truly something very special about the Akatarawa Valley with its history and its beauty. Bring your gum boots, river shoes, swimming gear and come and see for yourself.
Staglands Wildlife Park 5 minutes/4.4 km Karapoti Track start and access to the Akatarawa forest is 10 minutes/6.9 km. Upper Hutt 20 minutes/16 km Kaitoke Regional Park and site of Rivendell filming, Lord of the Rings 24 minutes/21 km Wellington 50 minutes/49 km Waikanae Beach 40 minutes/27 km
