Plus
"Elegant & opulent" post-renovation Guest-Wing accommodation 1-4 guests.

which gives one vast space(!) including two kitchen-dining-living areas.


LARGER PRE-RENOVATION GUEST-WING

> Lounge that can sleep two on the settee
> Conservatory that can sleep three on couches

SMALLER POST-RENOVATION GUEST-WING

> Downstairs Bathroom with toilet, shower, washing-machine & dryer.
> Gorgeous upstairs loft mezzanine bedroom, with Queen Bed, and Sofa-Bed (large single / small double).

SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY:
Because we can't link the two individual guest-wing calendar availability to this double listing, reservations are always by request - but we will promptly reply to say whether both wings are available. :)

MASSIVE SET-UP
This creates a truly sizeable combined space!!

> 1-min drive to Diary in Te Kopuru

[If any of the first 8 guests don't wish to share a bed, Extra Beds are available at $40/Bed per stay]

BOOKING UP TO 23 GUESTS:
The AirBNB system only facilitates for reservations up to 16 guests, so beyond that we need to create a Money Request in their system, for the Extra Guest cost of $27pp/night.

Beautiful and convenient
We enjoyed our stay here at the Old school house. The old wing does have its own charm but it’s quite old smelling and squeaky compared to the new wing, which is very nicely renovated. The old wing could do with some renovation to eradicate the worn out carpet smell and hinge sounds when you walk upstairs. Otherwise it’s a good stay place for large groups and very close to Dargaville restaurants and supermarket. Would highly recommend staying here when around. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and everything was very well organised
