About this property
Waikawa House, lovely modern home in quiet setting
The Waikawa/ Curio Bay area is renowned for its attractions, the Waikawa Museum (2 minutes walk) has all the information. You can be a busy as you want or just chill out and relax in the lovely modern warm Waikawa House. Set on a large section, it is off the road and quite. The setting is nice and close to all the local attractions but still has privacy and space. There are 4 local places to dine, some are seasonal, but we recommend them all as good local establishments . There is also another 2 places to dine 30 minutes away, so you are spoilt for choice for such a remote area. Do bring provisions as it is a 30 minute drive to the local Dairy.

About the host
Hosted by pipbl163
My husband and I farm locally on a sheep farm, we run 2100 breeding ewes, and winter 300 dairy cows.
We have two teenage boys who weekly board in Invercargill.

Why they chose this property
We think our house provides a beautiful quite setting for larger groups or just a couple. Everyone who has stayed has enjoyed the peaceful location and love the native bird song. Still very handy to all the local attractions, this modern, clean and warm hose is ideal. I am developing the gardens to be easy care with mass planting, and may retire here myself.
