About this property

Entire place

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

In the country, but so close to town, and main highway.

A lovely modern two story house, set in rural farmland surrounding the newly developed Karaka village.
Walks and paths in the local area with a country feel, but close enough to the motorway to be in the city in 30min.
The house itself has 4 large bedrooms, two having ensuite's and a large family bathroom. A separate toilet is on the ground floor, along with the living/dinning and kitchen having a open plan layout out to the patio to the back of the house.
