About this property

Greenwood Homestead

Greenwood Homestead is a beautifully renovated farm homestead just minutes from the Purakaunui Falls.

The expansive house and gardens allow large groups or families a chance to unwind and explore the scenic Catlins area from a comfortable and functional base.

The house itself has multiple living room areas as well as a large kitchen dining area and is surrounded by a beautiful garden.

You can enjoy the garden or stargaze from the hot tub, and if the weather is less than ideal the view can be enjoyed from inside the house next to the fire.

While this is a remote location you are only minutes from the Purakaunui Falls, Purakaunui Bay, Papotowai and Owaka. The nearest supermarket is Owaka so we would suggest picking up extra supplies here on the way through.
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 5 bathrooms.

The house was very clean. There were 11 ( one could not come due to illness.) of us and the dining table seated us all. Amazing. Worked so well for good dinner conversion. The hot tub was enjoyed. Instructions were laid out well. The house was kept warm by a super log fire as the weather left a bit to be desired.
