You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peace and Tranquilty Close to Town

This beautiful eco-friendly home, just a few minutes drive from Acacia Bay and Whakaipo Bay (both great places to swim), and on a private one acre section, yet only 10 minutes drive to town, is a wonderful place to unwind or to catch up with friends and family. Free WIFI, Sky Sport, and Chromecast.

There are four double bedrooms, one with an ensuite, and a portacot or rollaway bed are available on request.

The living room doors open wide to allow wonderful indoor/outdoor flow onto either of two lovely outdoor entertainment areas, while double-glazing and a fabulous log fire (or heat pumps if you prefer) ensure that the house is cosy in winter. There are no stairs or steps to negotiate, great for children or older folks, and the section is fully fenced.

While here you will enjoy not only our quiet little paradise, but also our aviary with budgies and cockatiels.

In the lounge you will find board games for those wet weekends.

Bring along the children's bikes or scooters as the driveway is great for riding on. There is plenty of off-road parking for several vehicles on the property.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need, including an automatic espresso machine (with beans provided) and tea available (you will need to pick up milk on the way ). A high chair is available for your child if required.

The price quoted includes bed linen and towels, we don't add an extra charge for this.

We have recently installed a security camera on the end of the shed. This is for security purposes only, no recordings or data from visits is retained.

Special conditions:
Strictly no smoking inside the house. Please respect our home by leaving it tidy. Families preferred. A few quiet drinks are fine, but if you are wanting a house to party in, then sorry but this is not the house for you. We would appreciate our guests cleaning up after themselves.

It was a perfect place to stay.

We were 7 friends staying in New Zealand for the first time. Peace and tranquility is the perfect name. The only thing was that it said 3 baths,and it was actually 2, but we still had the best time. I would stay their again.

Beautiful spacious and clean

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home it is absolutely lovely. We loved the lay out meaning we could chat late into the night without disturbing the early to bed members of our group. We did feel at first that it was a long way from town but after 3 trips it seemed closer, but definitely not walking distance. Loved the cafe just up road and purcgased some art. Would definitely book again.

Beautiful House

Overall, we enjoyed our weekend stay in this beautiful house. It was lovely staying in a big house like this. Warm and cosy living room with fireplace. Big outdoor, kids played tag under the sunny Sunday morning. It would be nice if we could stay for another day and have a barbi on a Sunny Sunday and celebrate Father’s Day.

This is a well appointed location to most amenities, it has a at home appeal as soon as you walk in the door. It has everything you could want to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable for a group of 6 to 8. Would be looking for this property next time.
