About this property

Fish Hike or Bike in Comfort on the South Island of New Zealand

Rod and Wheel House offers superior accommodation for up to 6 people in a self contained house set in its own private garden. It has 4 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms and has been completely renovated to a very high standard. It is family friendly and suitable for sporting groups. Plush furniture, comfortable beds, warm carpets and thick curtains make the house a restful and enjoyable place to stay. Complimentary wireless internet, Sky or Cable TV and DVD library are also included. A wood burning combustion stove and reverse cycle air conditioning makes the house warm and cosy. An outdoor dining area is also a great place to relax after a day touring Southland.
The house is fully fenced and surrounded by its own landscaped garden. It is also only a short walk to town services and facilities, including a supermarket with a bottle shop and ATM, pharmacy, Post Office, liquor shop, Pub and a number of cafe's.
Rod and Wheel House is next door to Oreti River House. Both houses sit within their own fenced and hedged sections of land. They can be booked separately or together. Oreti River House has a very large established garden and surrounding lawns. Rod and Wheel House also has landscaped gardens - native New Zealand plants in the front and flowers and herbaceous shrubs in the back. It offers a self contained style of holiday house and is only booked to one party. A House Manager lives nearby to help with keys and answer any questions about the house facilities and services. Meal options include preparing your own in the large modern kitchen ( a well stocked supermarket is nearby) or eating out at the Whistle Inn which is walking distance from the house.
