A sun-filled getaway! Enjoy open-plan living, a fully Your Peaceful Getaway – Sunshine, Space & Serenity Await

Nestled in a quiet and green setting, this welcoming home offers everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay. Whether you’re a family looking for space to relax and reconnect, or a group of friends planning a weekend away, you’ll find this the ideal home base.

Step inside and feel instantly at ease in the open-plan living area, where sunlight pours through the windows and the atmosphere invites you to slow down.

The open-plan design flows effortlessly to the dining area and living space, creating the perfect setting for socialising and spending quality time.

The home features three inviting bedrooms, each offering a peaceful retreat to help you unwind. The master bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with a ranch slider opening onto the deck, creating a lovely spot to soak up the morning light. The second bedroom offers a cosy double bed, while the third is bright and sun-filled with two king-single beds, perfect for children or friends.

Step outside onto the sunny deck and enjoy your morning coffee, or fire up the BBQ and make the most of outdoor dining, whether it’s a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner as the sun sets. The fully fenced backyard is perfect for kids to play safely or for adults to simply sit back and relax in the fresh air.

You’re only a short drive from some of the region’s best attractions. Beautiful Waitarere Beach is nearby, offering stunning coastal walks, swimming, and picnic spots. For those who love the outdoors, there are plenty of biking and walking tracks to explore, along with parks and the local swimming pool.

Take a short drive to the local cafés, shops, and don’t miss the famous Lewis Farms, located just ten minutes north of Levin.
