Lemon Tree Cottage is a comfy spot just a minute’s walk from the hospital and close to the lake and CBD. You can chill out in the bright living room, cook in the full kitchen, and you can get a good night’s sleep in air-conditioned bedrooms. Take peaceful walks by the lake or you can relax in the garden. And the best part? For every night you stay, we donate $10 to help treat the awesome NICU staff to lunch at the hospital.

About the host
Hosted by Aaron
Petra and I decided that being work optional before we were 50 sounded like a great idea. So, when we sold our business last year, we were able to achieve that dream. That sounds great but after a bit of travel, a lot of sleeping in and watching netflix we decided we should be a bit more productive. That's how Lemon Tree Cottage came about. We purchased a house at auction situated 3 minutes from Waikato Hospital and went about renovating it. Petra renovated like she was moving in so we blew the budget by 20%. The end result however is something we believe you will enjoy! When we aren’t doing hosting and all that it involves we like to explore the Waikato on our Mountain Bikes and travelling overseas.
Why they chose this property
We enjoy the Lakes suburb because of its easy access to the CBD, hospital, lake and roading that gets you out of Hamilton fairly quickly. Getting to the airport easily is also a bonus. From a personal point of view we actually own 3 houses on this street with a view to one day moving into one of them.
What makes this property unique
Apart from being close to the Hospital and Lake our cottage is a short drive (or walk to be fair) to the CBD. What makes it special is our limited addition Dr Seuss artwork in the house......well at least that's what we think!
