About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A snug wood retreat yum uncooked breakfast with home baking and a bubbly treat.

Very cute and sophisticated space it is dressed in gorgeous macrocarpa wood floor to ceilings which makes it feel like a warm hug! It has 1x King bed and 2x King Single beds with comfortable soft furnishings and a large new modern bathroom with shower and double vanity to create the sense of style and sophistication. Small but adequate kitchen with mini fridge, Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, toaster, electric jug. This property is unique and I’m sure you will not be disappointed with the location of this gorgeous space. The night sky is spectacular as we don't have road lighting so it gets really dark and the stars just shine! Self checkin with lockbox😊 lots of great places to visit like our much loved local cafe “the bus stop” te horo beach Sims road open weekends, Te horo beach just 5 minute drive, less than a hour from Wellington city and ferry terminal. Super location for weddings at Sudbury and local markets. We are on the hill side of Te Horo and are on a no exit road so its quiet and tranquil with alot of native birds. Fabulous local walks and bike trails 3 minutes away.

Best B&B style place we've stayed!

This was an exceptional place to stay! The host was so welcoming and easy to communicate with, and the accommodation itself was beautifully put together. The space was cozy, the location was private, and the breakfast was phenomenal. Could not recommend this place strongly enough - we definitely plan on coming back at some stage!

Comfortable and private

Janine is a wonderful host. She provided a yummy cheese dip (and the recipe), artisan bread, cake and breakfast stuff. The accommodation was really comfy and handy to anywhere on the coast. Lots to do - swimming at the beach and walking the escarpment track were two favourites.

We very much enjoyed our two-night stay. We were welcomed by many extras that we did not expect. The space is stunning and beautifully themed. Cosy and appointed with quality bedding and chattels. I would recommend it to anyone who wants unique getaway accommodation.

Couldn’t have asked for better!

Beautiful property, we could absolutely tell that someone had put a lot of love, thought and care into it. Janine was a great host, we appreciated the care parcel of breakfast foods and delicious snacks and was stoked to see a bottle of my favourite wine in the fridge! She also had an excellent recommendation for a local cafe. We had a wonderful weekend away and would definitely stay again!

Beautiful, unique & cosy

The host has clearly put in so much thought and care to creating a welcoming and beautiful space. Having a holiday somewhere like this, with its unique wooden interior and style, makes it feel like much more of a proper break from daily life! As well as the lovely environment, it was delightful to have a beautiful cake and other treats waiting for us! I highly recommend this for a peaceful break.

A Wonderful Stay

Our family of three adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is unique, well presented, clean and fresh. Linen is first class and the location is exceptional if you are looking for a quiet break away with only the sound of the trees and nearby creek. Hosts left a beautiful tray of goodies to welcome us. Contact with hosts was excellent and very responsive. We will be back again. Kae

Amazing hideaway

This place is beautiful. The setting is quiet and tranquil, the sound of running water from the stream adding to the ambience. The fully wooden interior feels like a cocoon, encapsulating you from the outside world. The level of hospitality provided is outstanding. The breakfast basket and cheese platter were both delicious with high quality products. The attention to detail in the decor is stunning. It's an absolute retreat from the world and so good for a short break away. Highly recommend.
