Castlehill Barnstay Rural retreat
The ideal rural retreat. Character c1880 barn recently converted with large studio/living area above and modern kitchen and bathroom below. Situated on the historic Castlehill property overlooking Otaki racecourse and the Kapiti Coast. Alongside native bush that has been included by DOC on the Heritage Register as an area of significant indigenous vegetation. Sea views, glow-worms. Close to Otaki Forks. 2.5m from State Highway 1, and the wonderful outlets and shopping of Otaki. Remember this is a converted barn, 140 years old, with a mixture of the very old and the new, perhaps a little unconventional. If you are looking for a standard urban motel unit this may not be for you!. A must for those with appreciation of a rural lifestyle.
Ideal for a couple , or family of 2 adults & up to 2 children
Special conditions:
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Important - Linen is not supplied (maybe available on application for extra fee)
