This large house is situated above the small costal town of Collingwood, with panoramic views over the estuary that span from Farewell Spit to the Northern mountains of Kahurangi National Park. Walking in the door, you feel feel immediately at home. The old character building was renovated to feel like a luxury house and has a lovely welcoming atmosphere while also being somewhere you could see yourself getting married or sitting down to a 10 course dégustation dinner.
