About this property

Enjoy the sound of the birds among the trees

Five minutes walk to the centre of town, this charming fully-furnished family home is set among trees in a quiet location across the road from Gleeson Park. This reserve is mainly lawn and trees with a small playground for children, and is suitable for family games and picnics ... bring your badminton net!
Designed and built by an architect in the 1960s, the quirky home has many interesting features including a narrow sky-view strip that runs the length of the roof. Very little has been modified over the years, apart from the original balcony. This was completely rebuilt (2017) to comply with modern building-safety standards.
The master bedroom upstairs has a small bridge that leads across to an elevated private garden with fruit trees.
While the main bathroom has a shower, toilet and bath, upstairs there's a second toilet with hand basin.
Being a chalet style with open stairs, our holiday home is not ideally suited for wee toddlers or the infirm.
Off street parking is available for up to three vehicles.
Special conditions:
Minimum stay 2 nights.
$190 per night for 2 adults, plus $10 per night per extra person.

Smoking allowed outside only.

Extras: Linen (included); Free Wifi (included);Sky TV. (included)
NOTE: Under Kiwi Bach tradition you are expected to leave the Bach in a tidy condition.

Quirky house if your looking for a place relax
The photos are accurate and this place isn’t for everyone. I loved the quirkiness of it but it certainly creaks and has lots of stairs. Very quiet neighbourhood yet very close to town. Everything we needed for 5 days. Ron greeted us on arrival even though it was around 8pm and made sure we were settled. SkyTV but no movies which would have made it perfect on the rainy days. Still we managed, and overall had a great time. Thank you
