About this property

Quaint character cottage on working farmlet, Running Sheep & Beef.

Situated in the tranquil Dovedale valley on a property steeped in history, this cottage offers visitors a unique getaway destination - a chance to relax and unwind in the old wooden rocker on the verandah, entertained by birds and the hum of bees, in well kept park like grounds, with a ponding feature incorporating a natural stream separating the cottage from the owners "Villa".
Upper Moutere village is only a 15 minute drive away for stores, cafe, takeaways the local pub, tennis courts, gym,
10km from the Motueka river which offers great fishing, swimming, rafting, etc. with both Kaiteriteri and Tahunanui beaches within a 40 min drive. Nelson lakes and Rainbow ski field in one direction, Takaka, Golden Bay the other, Mt Arthur and the tablelands in another, all are near enough for a great day out.
Art and craft galleries, wineries and cafes, golf links, horseriding, cycle trails, whatever the interest, there is something near by for everybody.
Special conditions:
Dogs are welcome by negotiation. Maximun number, 2. A Fee of $20.00 per night per dog applies.
We ask that they bring their own bed and be kept off the furniture.
As we are a working farmlet, they may need to be restrained, However there are good verandahs for weather protection, and plenty of space around the cottage for exercising.

Peaceful country surroundings
Olde World Feel.

About the host

Host profile image
We are semi retired farming folk. Our children have left home but keep coming back.
We are active both on our downsized farm and well as socially away from the farm. Still very busy and enjoying what we do.

Why they chose this property

A touch of history - The main house (Villa), was built in 1918 replacing the original built in 1870s as a new home for a recently married early settler couple. The 'Villa Cottage' was built not long after the first house, for the new brides mother.
The dwellings have 'character'.
The surrounding house grounds have been well laid out and modified by different owners throughout the years, providing a wonderful restful feel, with good producing fruit trees and gardens, who could ask for more. - We are fortunate to be able to live in such a beautiful spot.

What makes this property unique

Welcoming, comfortable, no frills and beautiful.
