About this property
Mount Taranaki Basecamp: 4BR Farmhouse + Games Room
Experience the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and indoor fun at this renovated 4-bedroom farmhouse. Located just 10 minutes from Dawson Falls and 2km from the National Park boundary, we are the ultimate basecamp for hikers. After a day on the mountain, retreat to the large outside garage games room for table tennis, darts, and retro Space Invaders. Perfect for families looking for a memorable countryside escape and hiking groups looking to explore Mount Taranaki.
Sitting right on the doorstep of Mount Taranaki, our home combines the charm of a rural farmhouse with modern facilities and serious entertainment options.
The Ultimate Games Room: We’ve converted the large garage into a dedicated "fun zone." Challenge the family to table tennis or darts, beat the high score on the Space Invaders machine, or just hang out. We also have a basketball goal setup outside the garage. Note that the games room is located in the garage, making it the perfect spot to make some noise without disturbing those resting inside the house!
Living & Dining: Inside the main house, you’ll find a warm, renovated interior with plenty of space to relax.
The Kitchen: A fully equipped farmhouse kitchen ready for big family breakfasts or hearty dinners after a long walk.
Sleeping Arrangements We comfortably accommodate up to 7 guests across four bedrooms, offering a mix of comfort for adults and flexibility for kids or friends:
Bedroom 1: 1 King Bed
Bedroom 2: 1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 3: 2 King-single Beds
Bedroom 4: 1 King-single Bed
We are perfectly positioned for exploring Taranaki's best nature spots. The Te Papa Kura o Taranaki (National Park Boundary) is just 2km away, with the Dawson Falls Visitor Centre a scenic 10-minute drive up the mountain. A few minutes drive away is the beautiful historic Hollard Gardens (which has a great play area for kids) and about 30kms away is Opunake Beach, a great place for a surf or sunset fish and chips.
You will have exclusive access to the entire house, the garden, and the detached games room garage.
Note that we are surrounded by working farms, so please don't walk across the paddocks - the farmers are friendly but the bulls might not be!
