With a total floor plan of 230 square meters, this home offers the ultimate in space, style and location to ensure that guests have a truly one off experience in New Zealand’s award winning island wonderland.

Two of the islands most popular vineyards Mudbrick and Cable Bay, are located on the same road just minutes away.


Filled with beautiful original fittings from old properties previously located all around New Zealand, this one off property celebrates everything that is great about yesteryear while embracing today by including items like bose sound systems, a wonderful 900mm oven with an induction cooktop and flat screen television. The kitchen is big enough to host four people in it at one time comfortably, and it opens out on to arguably, the most stunning outdoor dining area complete with a beautiful electric louver system and expansive views of Huruhi Bay. Fill the old wood burner stoves in the kitchen and the living room in winter and feel the warmth upstairs as it feeds through to the bedrooms.
