About this property

Daydreams Retreat - Nestled at the foot of the historic Sunshine Settlement

Please note - all guests are required to hold a valid vaccination pass

The deck offers views of the Wanganui River toward town and your own self-contained studio apartment has both covered and open relaxation areas
You are only 1.2 kilometers from the center of town and can access many adventure activities. This includes kayaking, the Timber Trail cycle way, and the Forgotten Highway. In winter it is only a 45 minute drive to the Whakapapa ski fields on Mount Ruepehu.
Another way to recharge is to relax in peace and quiet in the gardens (a work in progress) or on the partly shaded deck.

Peaceful Break

Lovely comfortable studio in quiet part of Taumarunui. Very comfortable beds, great shower, makings of good breakfast in fridge. Particularly appreciated the homemade orange marmalade. Alice was very welcoming and friendly and we had a lovely break. River walk and trip to Owhango were especially charming.

About the host

Hosted by Alice

I never imagined it would happen, but I have left the 'crazy' of Auckland to settle in a wonderful little town in the middle of all the beauty NZ has to I am loving every minute of the peaceful country surrounds. Now I want to share it with others!
My precious family (grown and living around the world), along with my love of travel, community, music and handcrafts are just some of the aspects that keep life full and fun.
I look to be guided by guest needs and when not on site, I will be available by phone/ text.
