"Welcome to this Happy Place!"

"Cooinda" is Aboriginal for "Happy Place"

"Kia-Ora" Lane, where it is located, is Maori for "Welcome."

It is indeed a beautiful, relaxing, happy place, where we welcome families or groups wanting to escape the busy city life.

Cooinda is perfectly positioned atop a knoll with panoramic views of gently undulating countryside. It enjoys a northerly aspect basking in sunlight and views from all the living areas. The house itself is fully fenced with a flat grassy area for children to play, including a cubby house and play frame.

Come and enjoy a beautiful sunset with friends and family, sitting on the gorgeous, built deck with views overlooking the vast countryside. There is outdoor heating for cooler months and this is a wonderful platform for stargazing. Create a feast with the outdoor kitchen/BBQ. You may even catch a glimpse of a kangaroo drinking from the dam!

The accommodation has been set up with larger groups and your comfort in mind.

There are four casual and formal living and dining areas. An open fireplace at one end of the house and a large wood heater at the other - all firewood supplied. All you need to bring are the marshmallows or a lovely bottle of red!

The bathrooms are both newly renovated. One has a large bath, perfect for relaxing and soaking away your worries.

The bedrooms all have separate heaters, so come to the country for that fresh, crisp air, knowing you have a cosy base from which to explore.

Girls Weekend.
This property was lovely. Lots of space and areas for people to be. Great deck. The only drawback was that we had 8 girls staying and we ran out of hot water after two 5 minute showers. The weekend we stayed the power also went out as a tree fell down on some power lines so were had no running water or electric heating. Thank goodness for the 2 fire places that kept us comfortable while we waiting for the power. I would stay there again.

We had a lovely stay, great views and good house layout to accomodate 14 adults. Only things that weren’t wonderful were that is could have been a bit cleaner (vacuuming and windows mainly), and the bin situation was unclear with only one bin that already had a mix of landfill and recycling items bin it - as a result we took all our recycling and compost food scraps away with us which was a slight inconvenience.

The house was clean and comfortable. The view is spectacular and the space wonderful. We had a lovely few days and wanted to stay longer. Thanks for the supplies like washing up liquid and loo paper - that's often lacking in rental houses.

Everyone loved the place!
We had a fabulous time! The house is very accommodating! We spent a lot of the time outdoors from morming to sunset. Fantastic outdoor grass area with wonderful views. Outdoor seating/setting could be upgraded/improved. We will be back for sure.

Nice weekend away!
Although this property is quite dated, it has nice new bathrooms. The cleanliness was disappointing, grill full of fat, dead insects under furniture & on window sills. The grounds were beautiful, hardly saw the kids as they were out exploring all the time. We had to buy our own wine glasses as there was only one!!!! Kitchen was in need of an update in cutlery, utensils & pans. We had to use a masher with a missing handle, v v disappointing considering we paid nearly $2000 for the weekend.
