About this property
Peaceful country cottage close to town
Our property is located in the Whau Valley, situated between the Kamo township and Whangarei Central so there are plenty of options to eat and shop, though it is a one minute drive to the nearest dairy, bakery and very good takeaways
A 20 minute walk to the end of the road you will find your self at the picturesque Whau Valley Dam, which supplies our town, you can sit and take in the scenery or find the tracks around the waters edge and go for a wander.
An easy 7 minutes drive into Whangarei Central you'll arrive at the town basin, known for its cafes, loop walk and the new Hundertwasser museum. The many fantastic Tutukaka Coastal bays and the expansive Oceans Beach at Whangarei Heads are approximately 45 minutes away. The Whangarei Falls are well worth the 10 minute drive.
The cottage is situated at the back of our section but separated by a creek you will have privacy. There is an unheated pool for your use and feel free to feed your food scraps to our family of forever hungry eels.
Check in is 4pm and check out is mid day but please ask as I am always flexible if an alternative is available.
