Classic 1960s home amongst native trees
This 3 bdrm holiday home is set up ready for your relaxing break with family/friends. Great indoor/outdoor living with spacious covered decks and lawn space, looking out over native trees and a stream.
The kitchen is well-equipped, beds are comfortable, and the bathroom has a separate bath and shower. There is an outdoor burner on the deck to sit by and watch the stars at night. Help yourself to any seasonal greens from the garden.
For entertainment think "old school" - there's a record player, books, board games, jigsaw puzzles, building blocks, art supplies and lego (but no TV or WIFI). Beach gear and bikes in the garage free for your use. Other equipment includes child high chair and dog bed. Get in touch if you have any specific requests.
Walk to the golf club or short drive to historic Otaki and beach (great for swimming or walks). An hours drive to Wellington or Palmerston North.
Note: under kiwi holiday house tradition you do the dishes and leave the house tidy. Sheets and towels are provided (so easy for those travelling through).

Amazing in every way
This is a lovely property situated just north of the Ōtaki township. My partner and I enjoyed every second of it. The check in process was easy and Kim is lovely. Everything was spotless, and impeccably arranged. We had everything we needed, and though we were not far from the shops or the beach, we were perfectly secluded thanks to the impressive native bush surrounding us.I believe the photos do not do this gorgeous place justice! If you are considering a stay in Ōtaki, I strongly recommend this gem. We will be booking again soon.
