Hello, Bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, thanks for stopping by. If you are looking for friendly and unique accommodation, nestled in a lovely peaceful environment in a centrally located area of the Taranaki, you have come to the right place. Designed to help you relax after a hard day of work or an eventful day enjoying what the Taranaki Region has to offer. With plenty of space, a deck to view the garden and pond, your personal getaway awaits your arrival. Situated within the town boundary in a quiet area of Stratford, yet conveniently only a 15min gentle stroll to town center and amenities.Recently completed the accommodation is comfortable, clean and modern and we ensure you will have everything you need for an enjoyable stay.
In late 2016 we decided to leave behind the hustle & bustle of Auckland & opted for a quiet & gentler pace of life in the Taranaki. As luck would have it, we were fortunate to find this unique property in Stratford, located halfway between New Plymouth & Hawera & at the end of the ‘Forgotten Highway.’ The previous owner had the vision to create a unique environment from bare land. He was definitely a talented craftsman & went to extraordinary lengths to build this classic 1970’s home including milling all his own timber. He was also an award winning gardener with a passion for begonias & the glasshouses are testament of that love & dedication. To frame his garden he also constructed a wonderful pond complete with its own weir. Sadly in his later years the gardens took on a life of their own. Despite their faded elegance we both fell in love with the property & we have dedicated every available hour to bring back to life the beauty of his endeavours, including resurrecting the pond & we have even made a little walkway around it so others can enjoy. We also have our own bees & chickens & when available we will share the produce with you.
