This three bedroom home is on a private sunny section, with mature trees that are popular with Tuis and other native birds. It is an easy walk to Ruby Bay beach and a 10 minute walk to Mapua. There are beaches short distance by car also. Rivers for trout fishing etc. There is so much to see & do. Please advise at least 24 hours in advance if you'll be arriving with a large trailer, caravan, boat etc. I have a washing machine available for normal use. If you have heavy duty/soiled washing there is a laundromat 2 minutes drive away. If you do damage to the property while staying please be respectful & offer to contribute to repairs/replacing.

I live on the property out the back & work part-time hairdressing on site.Please respect the "private no entry sign for my area" If people want privacy I accommodate as much as I can & also if they want to chat I love that too if I'm around. There is an 18yr old cat (Lilly ) that lives on the same property but sleeps in a different dwelling. She only enters if encouraged.

There is public transport in Mapua and Ruby Bay
