Special Amenities

This supports my mortgage after a stroke. I have two Blue Heelers onsite with me. No cats. There are rabbits that meander across the property, as well as native birds: Tui etc. Sorry no kiwi left. That was before I shifted up from Christchurch. If you want to chat, just let me know. I offer a wide range of kitchen appliances stored in my unit, just ask. 1 acre of well maintained lawns in rural oasis off the beaten track yet twenty minutes to fine dining and swimming, golfing, sailing or sunset paragliding. Can assist to and from airport, or in planning your get away. Just let me know what you need.

Will Hine
A lovely secluded retreat. The property is enormous. Even though its close to another couple of neighbours it's very private because of the big hedges and trees. The facilities were basic but very clean. A great place for a family holiday. You'll need a car if you stay here as its off a busy highway (don't worry - you CAN'T hear the road from the house) and there are lots of good places to explore nearby. Would stay here again.
Response from Owner
Thanks Will, you'll be welcomed back any time, don't forget when it's colder down south, is still not half bad up Here, Winter rates for longer term stays are easily negotiated.
