Large Family Countryside Retreat with Pool & Pond
Welcome to The Pond House Karaka, your peaceful countryside escape by Homello.
✨ Why guests love it here:
- Private 2.3-acre property surrounded by gardens and fruit trees
- Peaceful pond with jetty
- Inground swimming pool with sunny north-facing deck
- Spacious family home with multiple living areas + large kitchen
- Super-fast Wi-Fi - great for streaming, remote work, or family movie nights
- 10 minutes to the motorway - country calm with city convenience
Set among lawns and open sky, The Pond House was made for connection and calm. Enjoy open-plan living with a wood-burning fire, a full kitchen overlooking the gardens, and a second lounge that flows to the pool deck for sunny afternoons and evening meals.
Upstairs, the master suite has peaceful views across the pond, a walk-in wardrobe, and private ensuite. Four additional bedrooms, two family bathrooms, and generous living spaces mean everyone has room to relax. Whether you’re hosting family gatherings or a quiet weekend away, the home blends comfort, nature, and privacy in one special place.
What’s included
- Fresh hotel-quality linen + professional cleaning
- Restocked bathroom amenities + pantry essentials
- Ducted air conditioning upstairs + fireplace downstairs
- Full kitchen with modern appliances
- Laundry with washer
Good to know
- The pond is for viewing only - depth unknown and may contain eels
- Please note the exhaust fan above the kitchen stove is currently out of order, this will be getting fixed shortly
- The single beds in the loft are best suited for children
- As this home is located in the country you may come across rodents and bugs
- This home is on rain water so water pressure is low
- Guests have full private access to the home, pool, and gardens (sheds excluded)
Perfect for:
✔️ Family getaways and reunions
✔️ Peaceful countryside stays close to Auckland
✔️ Long weekends with friends
