About this property
Rural Bach in the Capital
Self-contained affordable cottage in rural settings Spacious for 2, still enough space for 4 adults, extra kids ok. Freeview TV + Free Wi-Fi. Pine forest and native bush for kids to play with plenty of space to explore. Incredibly private, surrounded by pine forest. 100% rural, yet only 15 minutes drive from Wellington CBD.
Quite warm now with heat pump, log burner and oil heater so you'll be cosy even on coldest days.
Please note this is rural and somehow quirky bach, not a hotel. If you prefer humming city and 4+ star accommodation you might enjoy more staying in one of Wellington hotels. This is reasonably priced bach for people who like outdoors and rural. No public transport nearby (closest bus stop 4km walk over hills) and the nearest shop is about 15km return trip. The access road from the highway (last 5-8minutes) is windy uphill but quite scenic after you pass the quarry.
Air bed, porta cot, spare mattresses and more extras available on request (usually free), just ask.
----- More activities at our doorstep:
* Some Friday mornings there are Forest Sessions in the nearby pine forest open to all children - search for Forest-Days-at-Horokiwi on Facebook or check Gifts and giveaways in this listing for details (and apologies for more cars parked in the area on these days)
