About this property

A snug wood retreat yum uncooked breakfast with home baking and a bubbly treat.

  • Very cute and sophisticated space it is dressed in gorgeous macrocarpa wood floor to ceilings which makes it feel like a warm hug! It has 1x King bed and 2x King Single beds with comfortable soft furnishings and a large new modern bathroom with shower and double vanity to create the sense of style and sophistication. Small but adequate kitchen with mini fridge, Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, toaster, electric jug. This property is unique and I’m sure you will not be disappointed with the location of this gorgeous space. The night sky is spectacular as we don't have road lighting so it gets really dark and the stars just shine! Self checkin with lockbox😊 lots of great places to visit like our much loved local cafe “the bus stop” te horo beach Sims road open weekends, Te horo beach just 5 minute drive, less than a hour from Wellington city and ferry terminal. Super location for weddings at Sudbury and local markets. We are on the hill side of Te Horo and are on a no exit road so its quiet and tranquil with alot of native birds. Fabulous local walks and bike trails 3 minutes away.

Best B&B style place we've stayed!

This was an exceptional place to stay! The host was so welcoming and easy to communicate with, and the accommodation itself was beautifully put together. The space was cozy, the location was private, and the breakfast was phenomenal. Could not recommend this place strongly enough - we definitely plan on coming back at some stage!

We thought the converted barn was super cool with so many creative features to admire. The extra food items were an unexpected suprise. Our host was friendly and helpful. We loved the Country feeling and the beautiful ducks and sounds of nature.

Comfortable and private

Janine is a wonderful host. She provided a yummy cheese dip (and the recipe), artisan bread, cake and breakfast stuff. The accommodation was really comfy and handy to anywhere on the coast. Lots to do - swimming at the beach and walking the escarpment track were two favourites.

Couldn’t have asked for better!

Beautiful property, we could absolutely tell that someone had put a lot of love, thought and care into it. Janine was a great host, we appreciated the care parcel of breakfast foods and delicious snacks and was stoked to see a bottle of my favourite wine in the fridge! She also had an excellent recommendation for a local cafe. We had a wonderful weekend away and would definitely stay again!

Behind The Closed Door

From the moment we stepped inside the door, we knew we had found a gem. The attention to the decor was stunning. It was roomier inside than we had imagined from the web site photos. Comfy beds, luxurious linen, beautiful modern bathroom with a comfy lounge and an outdoor seated area. It was just perfect for our 2 night stay, (although we could have stayed longer.) Janine was very prompt in answering our questions. Her level of hospitality provided was outstanding. The food supplied was ample and of high quality. A continental breakfast, freshly baked bread, a delicious fruit cake (all homemade) a cheese platter, and a delightful bottle of wine. We we also greeted with a personalised "Welcome" note. That topped it for us. It's an absolute retreat to spend a few nights away in. Highly recommend.

Pamper retreat

We were very spoiled here! This stable is a unique setting for a luxurious break. Sumptuous foods are provided for breakfast and snacks. The most gorgeous chocolate cake…. Fresh roses. Snuggle up on the couch for a read or wander outside and listen to the sound of the stream. Some curious pukekos came to visit too. Thanks so much Janine for the generous abundance. The beds are all beautiful, quality linen and mattresses all round. Very stylish queen or king singles tucked away behind a stable door. Very appealing. My inner child wanted a ladder to climb up to the rafters. Thanks very much! More hooks than I have seen anywhere before!

A Night at the stable

A very Posh stable:( in a very unique and good way) Some lovely bread and real butter awaited us with muesli and some other yummy treats and a bottle of wine that went down very smooth. Don't know who made the chocolate cake but OMG was it good. Janine is very prompt with communication and the place is very clean and well presented. We just loved it, a way too short stay with the birds saying goodnight and good morning and the sound of the little stream just outside you could imagine you are in the middle of a forest. Bed was nice and toasty keeping the spring chill at bay. Heated bathroom, extra heater and heat pump with the luxurious bedding there is no need to fear your going to be cold on the coldest night. Phone reception is pretty weak but the included wifi is fast and keeps (sadly) the outside world in reach. We were well spoilt with all the treats and were sad to leave and return to reality, we will defiantly come back maybe for a few extra nights next time. a well deserved 5 out of 5. A great big thank you to our hosts it was a fantastic stay
