About this property
🌿 Birdsong Hideaway 🌿
Nestled within beautiful NZ native bush, this 1 bedroom cottage is a perfect couples retreat to relax, swim and listen to a soundtrack of native Tui's, Bellbird's and lapping waves. And all this peaceful seclusion with road access.
You are immediately drawn to the picture perfect north facing 180' views of the Pelorus Sounds, and to top it off it comes complete with its own private beach and jetty. What more can you want.
The home features two levels, on the ground floor you will find, 3 double bedrooms, 1 bunk room, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, dining and living room, and a large north facing deck with 8 seater outdoor dining table and outdoor lounge furniture (fully fenced and suitable for children). Upstairs you have a games room where the young and young at heart will be occupied for hours with the ping pong and foozeball tables, board games, books and puzzles.
No matter the kind of holiday you are looking for, this place has something for everyone.

Its just a short 2 min bush walk down to your very own private beach and jetty where you will find 2 double kayaks and a canoe so you can explore the sounds, there is a selection of life jackets in the boat shed for you.
If walks are more your thing, there is a steep 3hr return, 8.5km hike up Mt Cawte if you want to check out the views, and a great spot to experience the sunrise, you will find the entrance right opposite our drive way. Or take a more leisurely stroll down the road to check out the neighborhood.
If you are looking for total privacy, stunning views, native birdsong, great outdoor living, a spa, a bush path (with glow worms at night) leading to your very own private beach, a mooring and a private jetty - look no further.
