We have wonderful orchard on the section with multiple fruits - mandarins, oranges, limes, apples, plums and many more. We have a kids playground outside with swings and a slide.

The section is surrounded by farmland.
The farm is a dairy farm with cows which will be often seen in the surrounding paddocks.
Inside the house we have 6 bedrooms - each room can sleep 2 people.

We have two lounges - one is the tv room where we have a projector screen for watching movies/ tv.

The home is a minutes drive from tirau and also the Tirau golf course.
