THE HOMESTEAD:

Wairere's main living room features two large comfy leather lounges, the perfect place to curl up to enjoy the open fire, glass of wine and a movie on our large Smart TV. Alternatively, you may wish to enjoy the second lounge and choose from our selection of games or books to while away a lazy hour or two.

There is ducted heating and cooling throughout the homestead plus panel heaters and ceiling fans in some rooms including the covered outdoor area.

The main homestead features 4 well-appointed bedrooms (7 beds in total) with stunning garden views from every room. The bedroom options are as follows:

Master Bedroom - King bed with ensuite bathroom

Bedroom 3 - Single over double bed plus trundle accommodating a couple or range of family options.

Our two bathrooms, separate toilet and laundry feature washer and dryer machines, heated towel rails, toiletries and hairdryer. For our skiers we also offer a drying cupboard in the laundry.

Our kitchen is the heart of the home and is fully equipped with full size fridge, large 90cm cooktop and oven, Miele dishwasher, microwave and quality dinnerware and appliances. It is located adjacent to the large 12 seat dining room with stunning rural views. The covered outdoor dining area and pool is also just around the corner - on those warm summer mornings you can step straight from the kitchen to the private outdoor BBQ area to enjoy a cool beverage or dip in the pool.

Original artwork and designer furniture decorate this stylish home, the features are too many to include, however rest assured every space has been interior designed with comfort, practicality and serenity at front of mind.

Finally, the covered front veranda provides another sitting area with two outdoor lounges and is a fabulous spot to enjoy a glass of wine or cup of tea while enjoying the beautiful rural and garden views.
