Elizabeth
Beautiful natural landscapes of bush, hills, tidal inlet. Everchanging with the seasons. Amazingly restful and peaceful energies. Bush with native trees and birds, gardens, and walks through the bush to the waters edge. Bungalow home moved from Belmont, Auckland 2006 and beautifully renovated to suit the views, with a bedroom and bathroom sited on its own for the privacy of guests. Now with added "Cookhouse" (kitchen and dining area). Beautifully and uniquely built of recycled native timbers. Features a pot belly stove, gas oven, and under bench refigerator. A second queen bedroom is available if 4 people wish to stay, for an extra charge.
Love just "being" at Taranaki, the name of my home province.
Unique settlement of people whose ancestors have created a sense of spirituality, love, and respect of the land and of being. A place of natural beauty.
