About this property

You are most welcome to come and enjoy our comfortable home, it is an open plan with two bedrooms (queen beds) bathroom and lounge down one end and a master bedroom (super king bed), and an ensuite down the other with a kitchen and dining in the middle. The kitchen is a great space for entertaining. There are two mattresses and bedding located under one of the beds with all the bedding located in the cupboard, so you can accommodate more family/friends. The garden has a sleepout cabin with a queen bed also, so altogether you can sleep up to ten people (that's including the mattress under the bed) The garden is plentiful with fruit trees, and vegetables that you can help yourself to. There is a large lawn and some outdoor games that can be provided such as volleyball and bicycles. There are board games, lego, a cot, and a high chair for younger children if required.

There is much to do and see in the area and a list of local attractions will be provided.

It's just a few minutes walk to the beach where you can swim at high tide, paddleboard kayak, or fish off the jetty. I also have kayaks available to use if you wish to organize this with me.

Please get in touch with any questions as I am new to this and I will do my best to ensure you have a great stay.

Warmly,
Hannah

Relaxing stay

Relaxing house which was very comfy. Good layout, beds and showers. Listing does need a little updating - no dryer and no washing line, wifi while free is not unlimited. But a good stay and Hannah was welcoming.

Perfect getaway

Very quiet and friendly neighbourhood feel to the property and surrounding areas. The house was nice and lived in which we loved, great big kitchen for cooking up/storing food, and we grilled some meat on the open fire outside. Heaps of space/rooms and two lounge areas for all our guests to stay. The girl who stays on the property (a little closer to the main house than we realised) was really friendly and accommodating. Overall, really great experience and would recommend.

Great little property, felt liek we went into a community not just a housewhich we loved

We had an absolutely great time. It was just the right size house. The kauri Point bay provided for many a lazy afternoon lounging while the kids played in the water. A clear bonus was the local kids inviting ours to play which meant a lot of new friends. Thanks for a great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Hannah Winsley

I grew up in the South Island and moved to Auckland to study and work at 18. After a divorce, I moved here to raise my children. I love living in this beautiful village by the sea. We like to get away and explore other parts of NZ while opening out home for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

I love the fertile soil, and growing most of our own fruits and vegetables. I love access to the ocean, fishing, swimming and surfing.

What makes this property unique

My father, brothers and I built this house together. From a bare section I have enjoyed planting it out with fruit trees and landscaping and raising my children here. There is so much love and memories on this property and I love to open my place to others to enjoy and make their own special memories.
