RIVER VALLEY COTTAGE
Come and experience the real rural New Zealand, without compromising on accommodation. Over the last 18 months River Valley Cottage has been substantially extended and renovated to provide high quality, exclusive accommodation.
Set at the edge of a spectacular 35 acre totally private native bush block it offers relaxing walks down to the Wainoui River amongst ancient trees and bird song.
Kids can run wild and feral, whilst exploring, having adventures, feeding the very tame sheep or even hunting for fossils in the creek.
Whilst retaining the understated flavor of traditional rural New Zealand, this gloriously light and airy property offers spacious living accommodation, with timber floors throughout. Bi-fold and French doors give direct access onto extensive decks and BBQ area. Shade sails provide perfect areas to sit and relax out of the sun and festoon lighting makes for fun, festive evenings. Switch all the lights off on a clear night and gaze in awe at the stars and the Milky Way, we are in one of the few dark zones in NZ where there is absolutely no light pollution.
The kitchen dining area has been designed and fitted out with the most discerning of cooks and entertaining in mind.
A brand new 6 burner delonghi freestanding stove, stainless steel benches, butlers sink and a views to die for make the kitchen a perfect place to cook and bake. The adjacent fully fitted scullery with dish drawers, Kenwood mixer/food processor, tea/coffee facilities and toaster is perfect for all the messy jobs and washing up.
The fully vaulted living room has plenty of seating and a fantastic fireplace with woodburner. Perfect to sit and relax in front of with a book and a glass of red.
Upstairs there is a hideaway single bedroom/den, which is hidden in a cupboard and accessed via a fixed ladder. Hugely popular with children and where all the board games are stored.
