A very spacious 4 bedroom home with lots of living spaces and a very large fully gated garden. North facing patio outlook to garden for outdoor dining. King Bedroom has an en suite and walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. Queen bedroom and double single bedrooms have built in wardrobes. Two car garaging with internal secure access. Plus off street parking for more vehicles. Very well equiped kitchen with breakfast options. Free wifi and Sky TV and a wide range of books, games and DVDs for all ages is available.
Greytown, recently voted most beautiful NZ town, is a wonderful base for visiting the local wineries, boutique shops and restaurants, There are many options for local walks, be it the local river or the rail trail or for the more adventurous the Tararuas. There are some wonderful local bike tours also. An hours drive will take you to some stunning scenery on the South Coast to view the Pinnacles, Seal Colony or The Palliser Lighthouse. An hour north will take you to Castlepoint or our favourite beach - Riversdale. I have included local brochures and maps but please ask me for advice on local attractions.
Whilst in Greytown visit Cobblestones Museum or for a sweet treat visit Schoc Chocolate.
