2 week Family summer holiday

Really great location - close to lots of lovely tracks and walking distance to the boat ramp and river mouth and the cafe/winery at Kuratau. Compact, modern and very tidy property. Has everything you need for a relaxing break. Owners are great communicators. We had a fantastic summer holiday with our 17 and 20 year old kids. We got lots of use of the BBQ and great deck and outdoor area. Ideal for a summer vacation.

We set up our holiday retreat, and equipped our home with all you would need, including the Porta Cot.

We also are cyclists and are enjoying discovering other areas around New Zealand. We have completed the "Otago Rail Trail" in Central Otago, South Island of New Zealand.
