Cozy retreat, accessible by road and water, with amazing views!

Everything you need for a fun and relaxing getaway. Walk right down to the water, have a swim, take a walk through native bush, or sit and watch the world go by, enjoying the bird song from the specious deck. The options are endless! Whether you’re a couple wanting some quiet time, or a family or two, the house sleeps 8 and is perfectly configured for up to 8 people. Great range of games, jigsaws, CDs and DVDs for wet days, as well as a pool table and dart board for the teens. Keen to dine out? Havelock, Linkwater and Portage are within driving or boating distance. Well stocked Four Square in Havelock. For boaties, put in at Havelock Marina or the community ramp along Moetapu Bay road, good for mid and high tide. By special arrangement, a mooring for boats up to 6 metres may be available in front of the house, as well as a shared jetty.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This place was so peaceful. Only a short walk through beautiful forest from the water to the house. The water was perfect for a peaceful swim. The outlook from the house was stunning. Coffee pod machine was much appreciated. The Billard table gave us much fun. Would have been nice to have stayed for much longer. The place was very clean and tidy.

Look no further! This home is the most magical accommodation we have ever experienced. Photos do not do this place justice! I think we all said 'wow' over 1000 times in the 3 days we were there. Highly recommend this property to truly experience the magic of the sounds. Thank you, Karen! :)
