'Funky Retro Caboose'

The little Caboose, 9 sqm, and kitchen/bathroom, 5 sqm, on our property are a much loved get-away surrounded by native vegetation. Idyllic, but also quite rustic: you have to cross the deck to the bathroom (amazing shower!) and kitchen, whatever the weather.🙂  I teach cello and you may hear this at times, as well as plenty of birds. A 5 min stroll to Queen Elisabeth Park and the beach. Private gate and on-street-parking.

The Hut

The hut is a beautifully crafted off the grid cabin located located on a sheep and beef farm, Daisybank, just minutes out of Martinborough . Open the doors right up on a nice day and enjoy the fresh air or cozy up with a blanket on the couch in front of the fire when the weather makes you want to bunker down. The outdoor bath is the icing on the cake to allow you to take in the views while relaxing in the tub
