The Cottages

Bush Cottage – Sleeps two in a double bed.

Tucked away at the bottom of the subtropical gardens, close to the mature Forest our Eco friendly studio style cottage has been newly refurbished to our highest standard to provide the ultimate in cosy and comfortable accommodation.

Inside the cottage, you will find a smart, wet room bathroom, with shower, wash basin and an eco friendly composting toilet, ensuite to the main room which includes a double bed, small kitchenette, and everything you need to be fully self contained. This includes a four burner gas hob, microwave, toaster, sandwich maker and all crockery and cutlery. There is also a small flat screen TV with a DVD player and CD stereo for your enjoyment.

A cosy wood burning stove provides the ultimate in warmth and comfort for the colder evenings. Double doors from the main room lead you out onto the rear deck, with views to the forest.

Tucked away in the cupboards you will find all sorts of things to enhance your stay, including a hairdryer, candles, games and books.

Outside, the front deck, facing east allows you to sit and enjoy your breakfast in the early morning sun shine while listening to the Tui’s morning song.  The rear deck, facing west allows you to enjoy your end of day meal or BBQ as the setting sun falls behind the forest.

 

The Lodge – Sleeps up to six in a queen size bed, double bed/bunk combo and two single beds.

The first cottage you see as you enter The Exchange, this unusual cottage has been upgraded and newly refurbished to our highest standard to provide everything you need to enjoy your holiday with family or friends.

Inside the cottage you will find a large light and spacious living room with a new kitchen and dining area.  There is a TV with a DVD player and a CD stereo for your enjoyment.

Upstairs is an unusual mezzanine floor which comprises two of the three single sleeping areas, made cosy by the low ceilings and large Kauri beams.

Leading off the main room into the hall way, you will find a large bedroom with a stained glass door, beautifully presented with a French style queen size bed with large double doors leading out onto the rear deck overlooking the garden with stunning views down the valley and across to the Wiama Ranges.

Outside the cottage is surrounded by beautiful lawns and trees, including a large mature Tulip tree, Australian Gum nut tree, Gingko tree, Tea trees, Apple trees and Tree ferns.  All of which can be viewed from the large back deck which leads off the main room. This deck faces south east which allows the morning sun to provide the perfect back drop to your alfresco breakfast.  There are also stunning views down across the valley and across to the Waima Ranges.  The front deck faces north west to give maximum sun shine, with some shelter provided by the large pergola with a newly planted grape vine.
