Enjoy free Wi-Fi, a cozy fireplace, spring-fed water, and the sound of the
stream behind the cottage.

Explore the stream behind the cottage, wander down to the river and
discover the swimming hole, or picnic beside the pond on the property.
Hunters, bring your gear—deer are just up the road in the Tararua ranges!
Enjoy easy access to fly fishing and golf courses, or just relax to the
sound of birdsong.
Kereru, fantails, tui, bellbird, swallows, kingfisher, and more. Often the
call of moreporks can be heard on still nights.
