About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family-friendly retreat, time to unwind & reset.

Experience a getaway like no other! Gather your family and adventure out to Manuka Ridge, just a short 45-minutes drive from central Wellington. Our cozy, comfortable, warm home offers breathtaking panoramic views over the mountain tops of the South Island. Relax and unwind with a glass of wine by the fire and watch the spectacular sunsets in the evening, while the kids have fun playing pool and darts in our fun-filled games room.

Our peaceful, private, rural location is perfect for exploring and creating unforgettable memories with plenty of space to roam around. Just a short drive away, experience Wainuiomata beach for fishing, river swimming, and seal-watching. If you head 2 minutes North you can connect with nature and go tramping in Remutaka Forest Park. The Baring Head Regional park is right around the corner to go biking, walking or view the lighthouse and lakes. Oh and if you're a golf fan, make sure to check out the Wainuiomata Golf Club, it’s only 10 minutes away. You’ll leave our family-friendly getaway feeling recharged and inspired!

Our space:
We have three clean and cosy bedrooms that all have comfortable new king size beds with slider doors onto the deck. Our games room also has a fold out couch and a king single bed for any extras guests.

Other things to note:
