Great indoor/outdoor living with spacious covered decks and lawn space, looking out over native trees and a stream. The kitchen is well-equipped, beds are comfortable, and the bathroom has a separate bath and shower. There is an outdoor burner on the deck to sit by and watch the stars at night. Help yourself to any seasonal greens from the garden. For entertainment think "old school" - there's a record player, books, board games, jigsaw puzzles, building blocks, art supplies and lego (but no TV or WIFI). Beach gear and bikes in the garage free for your use. Other equipment includes child high chair and dog bed. Get in touch if you have any specific requests. Walk to the golf club or short drive to historic Otaki and beach (great for swimming or walks). An hours drive to Wellington or Palmerston North. Note: under kiwi holiday house tradition you do the dishes and leave the house tidy. Sheets and towels are provided (so easy for those travelling through). ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 55 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No elevator (single-level property) - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Things to do - Bicycles ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Composting - Garden - Recycling ## Similar properties ![Breakfast and dinner served](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/4000000/3130000/3124400/3124307/e4071809.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BKs Premier Motel Palmerston North Palmerston North Central - Spa - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 9.2 Wonderful 554 reviews CA $99 CA $114 total includes taxes & fees Apr 26 - Apr 27 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-26&endDate=2026-04-27&selected=3124307&PinnedHotelID=3124307&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Front of property - evening/night](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/5000000/4600000/4598300/4598228/6f8ddb1c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Harringtons Motor Lodge West End - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Breakfast available 9.2 Wonderful 435 reviews CA $97 CA $112 total includes taxes & fees Apr 12 - Apr 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=4598228&PinnedHotelID=4598228&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Reception hall](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/5000000/4790000/4789900/4789857/01d999ac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fitzherbert Castle Motel West End - Parking included - Free WiFi - Breakfast available - Laundry 9.2 Wonderful 684 reviews CA $77 CA $90 total includes taxes & fees Apr 19 - Apr 20 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-19&endDate=2026-04-20&selected=4789857&PinnedHotelID=4789857&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Breakfast area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9627700/9627630/8b0ca33c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Aspree Motor Inn Palmerston North Central - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Air conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 649 reviews CA $91 CA $106 total includes taxes & fees Apr 14 - Apr 15 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=9627630&PinnedHotelID=9627630&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30390000/30385200/30385182/c0143af9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relaxing Retreat, Need Some Time Out, Escape Here!

Apr 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A homely, sunny getaway pad Loved the polished wooden floors, plenty of books, games and well equipped kitchen. Sun streamed in the many well appointed windows, so toasty by day and cosy at night with the wood burner for a treat. Thank you for allowing a dog, he loved it too, the garden was a delight to explore. The wood burner handle seemed a bit tricky to close properly and it would have been a bonus if the spa bath had been working but hey, we still loved the luxury of a bath. Thanks again Kim for a lovely stay. ##### Margaret O. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harry T. Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing in every way This is a lovely property situated just north of the Ōtaki township. My partner and I enjoyed every second of it. The check in process was easy and Kim is lovely. Everything was spotless, and impeccably arranged. We had everything we needed, and though we were not far from the shops or the beach, we were perfectly secluded thanks to the impressive native bush surrounding us.I believe the photos do not do this gorgeous place justice! If you are considering a stay in Ōtaki, I strongly recommend this gem. We will be booking again soon. ##### Harry T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee C.
