About this property
The Home on the Hill

The space
The 300m2 home sits on a 2500m2 section. The house has amazing views to the east and west- perfect for watching sunrises and sunsets. We have wonderful orchard on the section with multiple fruits - mandarins, oranges, limes, apples, plums and many more. We have a kids playground outside with swings and a slide.
The section is surrounded by farmland.
The farm is a dairy farm with cows which will be often seen in the surrounding paddocks.
Inside the house we have 6 bedrooms - each room can sleep 2 people.
We have two lounges - one is the tv room where we have a projector screen for watching movies/ tv.
The home is a minutes drive from tirau and also the Tirau golf course.
Guest access
The whole house is yours during your stay. However we ask you to please stay within the section and the driveway. Please do not go into the paddocks or onto the farm tracks.
