We are on the sunny side of the Tukituki river, overlooking the most picture perfect part of the valley with views downstream to Horse shoe bend and upstream to Mt Erin. It's a peaceful and private location with mature trees and places to explore on the 24 ha (60 acres) property. We have fruit trees including figs, olives, apricots, plums, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, mandarins, passion fruit etc that guests are welcome to pick from when in season. This is a family farm house ideally suited for outdoor living and entertainment in the summer under the ancient olive on the patio or the expansive deck alongside. In winter, the house comes into its own with the half-metre thick lime washed walls providing unsurpassed insulation. At this time of the year the inside of the house comes alive with atmosphere and there's no better place than in front of the huge open fire place to curl up with a book or to break open a pack of cards. Netflix and Lightbox are available. All of the house except one wardrobe is available. This is a well-loved, lived in, rustic family home. Its designed for country life and living so while we expect guests to treat it with respect, we don't expect guests to tip-toe around frightened they might leave scuff mark on the timber floors or lime washed walls. It's a house to enjoy not be prissy about. There's no better place for either a group of friends or families to get-way or for a special romantic hideaway for couples.
