About this property

The woolshed - pet friendly luxury retreat

Converted woolshed, set on a small farm of 25 hectares. We have cows and horses.

We are 15 min from Taupo town.

The Woolshed is separate from our home, giving you privacy during your stay. From the deck area/French doors all you will see is farmland!

We are directly off SH1, down a long drive way, making this a great location for those wanting a place to stay during a road trip, but also quiet and peaceful if you want a few days away!
The space
The studio is an open plan area, with a bed and couch. Kitchenette with Microwave, toaster, electric frying pan, fridge and kettle. Bathroom with shower, basin and toilet.

There is a large deck and outdoor fire.
Guest access
The woolshed is a separate building - you will have the place to yourselves!
Other things to note
The garden area is full faced, making it safe for your dogs to enjoy!

Amazing property

From the moment we stepped foot inside it felt like home, from the decor, to the linens, to the dog bowls, everything had been thought about. It was quiet, picturesque, and comfortable. I wouldnt hesitate to stay again.

Relaxing Woolshed cottage

Great place to stay in the countryside. The Woolshed has been beautifully updated, with divine bed linens and a great shower. Outside is a sunny deck, large shady trees to relax under and a fenced yard for dogs to play.

Peaceful

Great place, very nice rural setting, quiet (no noise from SH1) and great for the dog. Only criticism is it is a little bit light on cooking equipment - and being 25 minutes from nearest cafes it really means you are going to cook on site. We have however learnt to cook pasta in an electric frypan!

Beautiful little spot!

Perfect place to lay our heads when treeline with pets. Clean, pretty and private - great value for money. Would have been nice if milk and sugar provided and possibly my error that I didnt notice it didnt have a tv or wifi.
