Cosy Rural cottage in a private and peaceful setting nestled between feijoa hedges. Private access and set back from main road. The bed is on the mezzanine floor. Ample deck to enjoy an evening sunset.

Located 5 minutes from Auckland's Southern motorway and just 35 minutes from the CBD, and 20 minutes from Auckland Intl Airport. A great place to get away from the busy city.

Also handy to the Karaka Bloodstock Centre for those with Equine interests. Plenty of room for parking (including a horse float).

Additional Information

This little cottage in one of our paddocks was originally built as an art studio. recently renovated its a peaceful little escape from busy city life. Native plantings and bush surround the cottage.

Kakariki Cottage has its own driveway into twin paddocks in one of which the cottage is. Its surrounded by Feijoa hedges on 2 sides and a beech hedge on another. The last side looks out over the farm next door and a native bush. It has a strip of native planting along its entirety. Guests have access to the twin paddocks and obviously the cottage.

Please note, the stairs to the bedroom are steep (see pics).

We live on the same property, but the cottage is very private.
