This lovely cottage is located in the area which was once home to a bustling port following the discovery of gold in the 1860's. The house has good heating throughout and a full kitchen available. The property is fenced and very private. You will have the sole use of the property while staying and will not need to share it with anyone (apart from your travelling companions). Whether you are on a whirlwind trip through NZ seeking to escape from the hustle and bustle of constant travel or a domestic traveller you will find peace here. The beach and river with their ever changing vistas are a one minute walk away. If you are staying during winter the heating will be operated by remote wifi for continuous 24/7 heating during your stay. You are welcome to adjust it to suit your needs during your stay. The spa is available for guests. If any of the following apply to your stay please notify me at the time of booking to ensure we are fully serviced any ready for your arrival: Do you intend to use the spa pool or sofa bed? Do you require the super king bed split into singles or a portacot?
