About this property
Tranquil Tui Pond Cottage located in peaceful rural setting close to Whanganui.
Welcome to our little slice of rural paradise. Our accommodation is a quiet escape from the bustle of town, surrounded by open space, fresh air, and a calming rural atmosphere.
We are 10 minutes drive from Whanganui's CBD and 60 minutes from Palmerston North Airport.
The cottage is tucked in behind our triple garage and shares the driveway with our home but after that you are totally private and secluded.
The Tui Pond Cottage is a modern, warm, quiet new build. (2025)
We are situated on a 1 hectare rural lifestyle block with all three neighbours away across paddocks and hidden behind trees. The cottage has a lounge/dining/compact kitchen including a comfortable couch, extendable dining table, chairs, TV. It includes an oven, microwave, one pot induction cooker, toaster, hot water jug, tea and coffee. There will be muesli and porridge sachets for your 1st morning.
The cottage has two large bedrooms, each with extremely comfortable king size beds with clean quality linen.
