Peaceful and serenade location, comfy bed, gorgeous fireplace and a bath. What more could you want?!
Lemon tree, feijoa tree, lots of outdoor spaces and room to do yoga or just listen to music and watch the fireplace. Bliss! No TV but there's WiFi so I guess if you won't survive without your screen, you can stream Netflix on your mobile phone. Waikanae has a cute movie cinema though, maybe 30 min walk from the house.
It's doable to get to by public transport if you catch the train to Waikanae then a local bus, 4 minutes walk and a bit of a steep driveway. I saw fantails (pīwakawaka) and an amazing blue heron (mātukutuku) flew overhead.
