Hello! Thanks for checking out the cottage, please do read the full details as it will save us both time :)

A rustic and quirky haven in the bush for the easy-going, sustainably-minded, artistic, meditative, community-spirited and anyone who enjoys peaceful living close to nature. Off-grid vibe but still connected to power/water/internet. Looking for friendly, easy-going types for long term.

Suits one to two people, with a living area and wood burner, and a deck overlooking forest. Built around a giant kahikatea.
