3 Bedroom House in Waverley, Waverley Beach

Nukuhau is situated half an hour over scenic roads from the main highway, on a high plateau overlooking our carbon farm and QEII reserve. The final 11km of your journey is spectacular as you travel into the hills over winding unsealed roads. Drive carefully and take time to enjoy the amazing views!
Don't expect 4 star accommodation but we can offer you million dollar views! The large house is basically but comfortably furnished with all you need for a retreat or holiday. In addition to the beds we also have foam mattresses which can be used marae style on the living room floor. There are plenty of spare blankets and duvets.
A wood fired stove in the kitchen and an enclosed woodburner in the lounge make the living areas cosy in cold weather, but you might want to bring a hotwater bottle for winter nights!
The 500 acre farm consists of steep hills and valleys but is tracked and suitable for exploring on foot. At the bottom of the farm there is a small river. This property is the ideal place for a quiet retreat or as a base for outdoor activities. The views of Mt Taranaki and of the bush clad hill country are spectacular, and sunsets and night skies well worth the journey.
It is situated adjacent to two DOC reserves which can be accessed for tramping or hunting. Nearby are historic sites, viewpoints with commanding views from Mt Taranaki to Mt Ruapehu.
For wet weather we have games, books, DVDs, and a piano.

Summary: What a fantastic place to hide away for a weekend and just relax. Spectacular views with Taranaki, Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe showing themselves. Very peaceful, went for a couple of good walks and the house was very toasty and comfortable with the fires creating that chill out mood where time does not matter. I am sure we will be back.
