A great escape for Writers' and Artists' to relax and focus. A beautiful location in a country setting overlooking Pukekohe to the West and the hills of Bombay to the East and within minutes of the Motorway and easy access to Auckland, Coromandel, Waiuku and the South. 2k's off the main road, enjoy a relaxed quiet location, with a large swimming pool, duck ponds, great deck spaces, goats and chickens, 10 minutes away from Pukekohe and Tuakau for some amazing restaurants and great shops. Enjoy free range eggs when available, beautiful relaxing gardens with views all around, have a glass of wine on the deck and relax the day away. Sit under the trees and enjoy all the birds that visit us daily, including numerous Kingfishers hence our name ! The perfect base for day trips to Auckland, Hamilton, Thames and more. Spend the day in Pukekohe and enjoy coffee shops, a great range of retail shopping, restaurants galore, movie theatre and great markets in Pukekohe on Saturday and Pokeno on Sunday or spend the day by the pool in the summer and get a great tan. Located close to Pukekohe raceway and Hampton Downs if you like fast cars or horses.
