I am a loving mum, stepmum, and wife, my family close to me and my friends are my entire world. This home holds our heart. I bought this property many years ago, I was only 23 and from here, my husband and I built our beautiful family life, room by room and memory by memory. Now, with our children growing up and our two oldest living overseas, we’ve moved to be closer to them all. It brings me immense joy to now open up our cherished home for others to enjoy. Every corner is infused with aroha (love and care) , from the gardens we planted and every stone we laid to the paths that created spaces for our whanau (family) where we laughed, cried and grew. It has been many years of hard work, when we first brought this house it didn't have a plant or a stone on it, now it is it's own unique and beautiful retreat. I’ve prepared it as a sanctuary for your own family and friends to connect, relax, and create unforgettable memories just like we have. Welcome to our story and our home, we hope you too can create wonderful memories of your own in our special place that will always be called home.
The neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful, our place is located only a short distance from central Hokitika, the beach, river and famous heritage bike trail
