Welcome to our new family home, set in a peaceful green location, on an old orchard near Kerikeri town. We will be going away for four months over winter 2024, and it is available to rent for this period. 27th May until 27th September.

Watch the first rays of sun peak over top of the Waitangi forest and stream into the living room, bringing an amazing feeling and great start to your day.

The layout of this house is very open plan and spacious. The living room, kitchen and dining are all in the centre, with master bedroom and ensuite to the east, and kids playroom, bedroom 2 and 3, and the main bathroom to the west. The big ranch sliders in the main living room open out to an amazing green view, over a valley to the North East, overlooking the Waitangi forest.

This space suits families with kids, there are many activities to keep them happy and a large yard. Having bedrooms and bathrooms at both ends of the house makes it versatile and could suit a wide range of living situations.

The house contains nice modern features, polished concrete floor, ply ceiling, and beautiful Japanese Cedar Kitchen joinery. Furnishing consists of mid-century items giving it a bohemian feel that we love. House plants throughout add to this feeling, and the whole openness, natural light and airflow throughout the house gives it a truely warm and welcoming feeling.

The location is great, just 4 minute drive or 30 minute walk to the centre of Kerikeri town with shops, schools and supermarkets. Near by are beautiful walks along rivers in the bush, and historic sites like the Stone Store. The garden is lush and green and the air is clean!

Winter in this house is very comfortable with a modern wood burner that heats the entire house. The concrete floor soaks up sun throughout the day and releases it over night to keep the house comfortable. Joinery is all double glazed and there are no draughts. There is great airflow and I did not notice mould anywhere at all last winter. This is a healthy family home that we love.
