Our place is located at the end of a long treelined driveway in the heart of the kiwifruit orchards of Katikati. There are views out to the Kaimai Ranges and large park-like gardens to relax in, a river to explore and a summer house to cook a BBQ. Our property is located in the middle of a kiwifruit orchard.
We have extensive gardens to roam, a river to explore and lots of outdoor spaces to relax in (summer house, hammocks, etc)
located up the end of a long driveway with stunning views to the Kaimai Ranges.
Our property has established gardens with large trees to shade under, beautiful sunset views and we love to meet people and share our place. We moved here from Auckland to try and live a more sustainable lifestyle away from the city. We grow our own vegetables and have free-range chickens, cats called Hunter and Stella and our very friendly dog, Meg. Our home orchard is a work in progress, we are learning very quickly how to grow our own veggies and fruit but still some way off from being self-sufficient. I or my husband Mike are available at most times for any helpful information to share as we have travelled extensively around NZ in our caravan.
*Meg our dog will run to meet you as you drive up the driveway, she gets very excited to see new people - just ignore her if you aren't confident around dogs.

What we love about this property
It's in a neat part of New Zealand, the views are wonderful, and it's so quiet - all you hear are the birds. Plenty to discover around just a short drive away.

It's a magical place, with such a homely, relaxing atmosphere, we could've stayed forever. 10/10
A beautifully tranquil and refreshing place. The place is fully equipped with hot showers, wifi, cooking and eating essentials, Overall, we couldn't have had a better stay.
This place was absolutely fantastic. We fell totally in love with Kirsten's perfect garden - the hammock, tire swing, cozy reading nooks, and veggie patch, all surrounded by magnificent flowers and greenery.
Really nice getaway do recommended !
