Some info has been automatically translated.
Our wonderful home is a converted Catholic Church, built in 1954 which we were lucky enough to buy in 1996. It offers a unique and special stay, full of character with a peaceful atmosphere. A great place to spend time relaxing or exploring the beautiful area we live in. To add to this, Café 77 is situated right across the road in what was once the old derelict Manawaru Dairy Factory. They are open from 8 am to 3 pm daily and we can highly recommend!

The space
The Air BNB area has its own entrance and is independent from our home so offers privacy for guests. The bathroom and separate toilet are large and the spacious front area offers lounge, dining area, kitchenette with fridge, inverter microwave, electric frypan which doubles as a slow cooker, air fryer, use of the BBQ and tea, coffee, toaster etc available. A separate bedroom with queen size bed opens on to the courtyard. If you are travelling with family or friends there is room for extra guests. There are two king single beds in the open area and an extra bed can be set up if required, on request. It is very private from our home and would also include the courtyard area for your exclusive private use should you like to relax in this space. All linen is provided so there is no need to bring anything with you. Cleaning is included in the nightly rate.

Guest access
There is a private entrance for guests directly into the suite and it is totally closed off from our home. Parking is directly outside of this entrance so really easy access to come and go at your convenience.
