A favourite with Wellington professionals seeking country adventure and the unhurried joys of market town shopping. Three towns to explore within a one hour drive - cafes, second hand treasures, boutique offerings.

The safety of children visiting guests is the sole responsibility of guests.
No smoking within property boundaries - ie inside and outside - strictly enforced

About the host
Hosted by PaulaAl2
Hi - I'm Paula and with my husband Mark I've have been hosting guests since 2016. Our work (and that of both of our parents) propelled us to live in quite a few places. So we know what special looks like - Kiwitea is off the beaten track but just a 20 minute drive to everything we need. We like to have travelers coming and going and are happy to let you decide how much interaction you want. Share a coffee or a glass of wine with us or just come and go. We are organic food growers. Mark is a working artist. I write web content and am involved in creative projects. We're social, enjoy cooking and are part of a warm inclusive local community.
Why they chose this property
We bought this renovated historic cottage with its acre of class one soil and guaranteed community water supply so we could develop a certified organic garden. It's a conversion from pasture to garden beds and four years on the shelter is growing fast! We feel blessed to be part of a warm creative productive community and neighbourhood.
What makes this property unique
It's quiet. You can see the stars at night. The bed and the sofa are so comfortable.
