Welcome to this contemporary two-bedroom retreat that encompasses nearly every amenity for your convenience. Nestled in a tranquil rural setting, this private haven boasts a delightful sheltered deck, perfect for savoring early morning breakfasts. Designed to accommodate two to four individuals, each bedroom features a plush queen bed. For families with young ones, we happily offer a cot or cot mattress on request at no additional cost with prior arrangement. Our aim is to ensure your every need is met; should you require anything, please don't hesitate to ask. Inside the apartment, you'll discover a HRV system, maintaining a dry and healthy atmosphere. A heat pump is also at your disposal, guaranteeing a consistently comfortable interior. Parking is abundant right in front of the apartment, just a short stroll from its entrance. While the apartment is an integral part of the main dwelling, rest assured it occupies a lower level and is entirely secluded from the main house's living areas. Your privacy is paramount, but we are merely a phone call away, ready to assist and enhance your overall stay. We look forward to ensuring your time here is as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. Please check out our second unit under the name Country Inn.
In terms of our professional backgrounds, both Louanne and Willem are dedicated health professionals. Louanne takes charge of overseeing Cross Roads, while Willem lends a hand with various chores. Despite our roles, we both share a genuine enjoyment of engaging with people from diverse walks of life. We highly value your need for privacy and want to assure you that we respect and prioritize it. It's entirely possible that during a brief one or two-night stay, you might not encounter us, even though we are present on the premises. Your undisturbed enjoyment of your time here is of utmost importance to us. However, should you have the inclination to connect or seek insights about the local area, please consider us a valuable resource. Armed with ample local knowledge, we are more than willing to enhance your visit by providing recommendations and insights. We relish the opportunity to meet and chat with you, so feel free to reach out; your inquiries and company are always welcomed. Your comfort and enjoyment are paramount to us, and we look forward to ensuring your stay is both seamless and memorable.
Nestled in the serene expanse of Kowai Downs, this inviting two-bedroom flat rests on a charming lifestyle block, strategically positioned midway between Hamilton and Auckland, with equidistant access to Thames and Coromandel. Conveniently, State Highway 1 is a mere kilometer away, facilitating effortless travel. The nearby township of Pokeno, renowned for its delectable bacon and irresistible ice cream, lies within easy reach, offering a host of essential amenities—groceries, restaurants, fast-food establishments, liquor stores, filling stations, and even a laundromat, ensuring a convenient and enjoyable stay. Nature enthusiasts will delight in the proximity of a lovely waterfall and swimming hole just a kilometer from the flat, while the meandering Waikato River beckons a mere eight kilometers to the west. For those craving the allure of Dutch cheese, Mercer, famous for this delicacy, is a short drive down the motorway. The surrounding neighborhood, characterized by safety and tranquility, boasts neighbors at a comfortable distance. As the flat is gently nestled against a hill, breathtaking sunsets paint the sky, offering a visual feast for those residing within. Feel free to explore the area, taking leisurely strolls to revel in the crisp country air. Your sojourn here promises not just comfort but also an immersive experience in the beauty of rural New Zealand.
