The Gate House
The owners' arty character-filled three bedroomed plus office private self-contained home
The Gate House
The Gate House is Adele and Roger's own private character home which they are happy to rent out as holiday accommodation to the right respectful people upon enquiry. References might be required. This unique home is located on their 2.4ha lifestyle block, a slice of semi-rural paradise with rural valley views and glimpses of sea and mountains, 3 min drive to magical Mapua seaside village and the famous Mapua Wharf. There are organic orchards, fields, farm walks, hand-feedable sheep and beautiful spaces. The Gate House is full of art and creativity with a dollop of Boho in the mix. Being their own home, it is well lived in, and like all their accommodations, is warm and comfortable. The large fully appointed galley style kitchen has double French doors opening onto a cute morning-sun-drenched deck and seating area that becomes lusciously shaded on hot summer afternoons. There's also a large outdoor dining area out the back in a newly formed large garden space. The main upstairs King bedroom is medium-sized with stunning views and shared en-suite accessible via the connecting office which can also double as a nursery; the second very large upstairs Queen bedroom with shared en-suite has lovely views from the bifold and picture windows over the garden; and the downstairs very large third King plus single bedroom has a covered patio area and also looks out to the garden. This room has an attached kitchenette /laundry and close access to the downstairs family bathroom and separate loo.
Extra Info
Privacy
The Gate House is very private with its own front and back entrances and has parking. Even though rustic-chic, semi-detached Corru Gate Cottage is connected by a double-wall, you'd hardly know as the entrances and living areas are separate, face different directions, plus Roger and Adele have soundproofed as best as they can. Staying at The Gate House is by enquiry only and you may need to supply references. Older children and some pets may be considered.
Bedrooms and beds: 2 King sized beds, 1 Queen, 1 Single
The main upstairs bedroom is medium sized with a quality King bed facing the bi-fold windows/doors and views. There are block out curtains. The other upstairs bedroom is extra large, has a Queen bed and a couch both facing large bifold/picture windows and views. The downstairs room is a super large room with a comfy King bed as well as a single bed/couch. It also has its own adjacent kitchenette/laundry as well as a separate toilet and a full bathroom.
Views
The Gate House has lovely views - especially from the upstairs main bedroom where you look down the valley and over farmland to Tasman Bay and to the Richmond Mountain range. The larger second upstairs bedroom has gorgeous views over Roger and Adele's garden - stunning in Spring when the Magnolia is in bloom. Downstairs there are immediate garden and orchard views and more distant glimpses of the sea and mountain ranges from the open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen. The downstairs bedroom has lovely patio and garden views.
