About this property
Country Bliss couples oasis with pool and sunset deck.
We are situated in a quiet rural setting only 3 minutes from the outer edge of town. We have lots of mature trees adorned with native birds adding to relaxing ambience. On arrival you drive under a tree lined driveway to your private stand alone studio, located near hosts residence, but given all privacy and space to guests. You have private access to come and go as you please with spacious & secure parking directly in front for car, boat, trailer, bikes etc. We offer comfortable, clean, modern accommodation that provides all the luxuries of a home away from home, with many special touches to surprise and delight our guests. From the time you arrive to the time you leave we want our guests to have the most memorable stay and the yearning to return for more
Inside you will find modern interiors in a spacious studio set up with brand new appliances, from a new coffee machine to the soft spa sized towels and bathrobes. The kitchen is fully equipped for those who like to cook with a bench top oven, hobs, slow cooker, microwave and a full sized fridge/freezer and an outdoor bbq. Alternatively we can certainly recommend some great restaurants, cafes or takeaways within a 2 minute drive
Relax on the leather sofa while watching Netflix on our 55" smart tv or make use of the unlimited internet and get a bit of work done (we have an office chair available for added comfort to use at the table in the studio). The queen size bed is made ready for your arrival with clean quality linen, extra pillows, electric blanket. In the bathroom are extra large spa sized bath towels, soaps & toiletries plus soft bathrobes to enjoy after a shower. The studio has air conditioning which will keep an ambient temperature regardless of summer or winter conditions.
At the rear of the studio you can enjoy your very own private, sunny tropical garden & courtyard area with a small outdoor fire and seating for 2. Our guests are welcome to use the saltwater pool available during summer months (shared with your hosts but all privacy given). We have a picturesque sunset deck with comfortable chairs overlooking rural valley views and stunning sunsets. We have a picnic basket and blanket in the studio for those that wish to add that extra special touch to their sunset viewing or trip to the beautiful Mount Maunganui beaches.
We do not provide breakfast but can arrange this upon request with an extra charge. Or enjoy the wonderful cafes nearby which we are happy to give directions to. We often have guests staying who are celebrating special occasions so if you would like anything extra set up for your stay please feel free to ask.
Please note we are a rural property where on the very rare occasion you might experience rural farming odours.

About the host
Hosted by Julie Bond

We enjoy our country surroundings so much it just seems the obvious choice to share it with those who wish to enjoy a place of quiet for some relaxation to get away from it all to travel and explore, and those who need an uninterrupted space to work. We love to meet people and this is our way of keeping our social lives a little more fulfilled, but we do respect individuals who prefer to keep to themselves. We have our 2 sons living at home while beginning their own journeys into the working world, 2 cats and a rather energetic Bearded Collie dog (He loves meeting our guests)
We are a quiet family who enjoy the odd visits from family & friends. We don't party (actually the odd one ONLY when we have no guests) or play loud music or cause any disruption to our guests stay. Otherwise we go about our day on our farm, in the gardens, maintaining our property or simply relaxing ourselves and enjoying the good life. We are very respectful of our guests privacy

Why they chose this property
We are situated right on towns edge 3 km away, close to all amenities one thrives on in town but far enough to enjoy the rural peacefulness. We love it here because of the closeness to town but have the benefit of beautiful country scenery, trees, bird life, and the peaceful surroundings. Our accommodation is unobtrusive and completely seperate from our home so you can relax at will. In the summer months you can enjoy a swim in our salt water pool and in winter venture not far from us to relax in thermal hot spring pools (Fernland spa, Oropi pools, or Mount Maunganui pools). We love the fact that we get to enjoy our country surrounds and the views of Mauao (Mount Maunganui) and be on the beautiful golden sands of Mount beaches within 25 minutes from our home. We are truly blessed to live in such a gorgeous country with a vast variety of destinations all so different within easy driving distances (be it rivers, lakes, mountains, beaches, city life, forest)
What makes this property unique
Beautiful country surroundings greet and embrace you during your stay. Our studio offers all of the home comforts one could wish for in a modern and refreshingly clean style. We are friendly, helpful hosts who will provide whatever information we can to make your stay and travels as enjoyable as possible. Our guests reep the benefits of both worlds, unwinding and de-stressing in rural tranquility and getting all the fixes one needs from city living close by. We are less than 5 minutes drive to wedding venues such as The Orchard, Ataahua, and Phoenix Valley. If you are a keen outdoors person we have at least 6 different golf courses nearby, mountain biking trails, bush walks, hot pools, the best beach in New Zealand at Mount Maunganui, and top quality restaurants and cafes to delight the inner chef. Here for work?
