This cottage has been fully renovated from a studio cottage to a 2 bedroom cottage with a living/dining/kitchenette area with a dishwasher. A fully functional bathroom with plenty of space. It has a covered deck with outdoor furniture - great for rain or shine. The cottage is surrounded by native bush. That's where the name 'Kānuka' came from. You will feel a sense of peace when staying at Kānuka. The sound of native birds gives the feeling of being miles away from the big cities. You as our guest can be guaranteed comfort from the minute you arrive. The beds have luxurious bed linens. The decor has been well thought out so that guests will feel this is a surprisingly spacious and inviting place to stay. We supply tea, coffee, sugar, hot chocolate and milk. There is a Smart TV, DVD player and Sky TV in the main lounge. Bedroom 1 has a TV with a Freeview box. There is a small laundry in the cottage with a washing machine and tub. The shared laundry just around the corner has a dryer which is free for guests to use. The code is 6888 to get access.
