Tucked away on 37 acres, combining mature, native kauri and rimu forest with plantings of olives and Italian cypresses, our architecturally designed, self-contained studio is completely private, tastefully appointed and sunny. With Mt Tamahunga as our backdrop, the studio and private patio offer great, north-facing rural valley views, amazing night skies and abundant birdsong. A short walk will take you to the start of the Tamahunga Trail, a Department of conservation bush walk. The beautiful white sand beach at Omaha, vineyards, restaurants, cycleways and bush walks are all within easy reach.
