About this property
Alpacas Off Grid - House Truck (Spacious/Boutique)
This property is the antidote for a busy life. Stunning nature, tame alpacas, pristine water and air quality. The 1952 Bedford House Truck is newly renovated, comfy, secluded and a little quirky. We're off grid, so your stay will be carbon neutral.
The truck accommodates 2 adults in the loft double bedroom and 2 children (aged up to 17 yrs) on a futon bed in the lounge area. If your group is 4 adults we can accommodate 2 in the house truck & 2 in our cabin located 50 metres away (see our other site "Alpacas Off Grid - Eco Cabin". Children aged 2-17 yrs are charged $90 per night per child.
Step into another world: You will be on 32 acres of stunning native bush, hills and pasture. You will be sharing it with alpacas, chickens, ducks and a tibetan spaniel.
The house truck has all you need for a relaxing getaway. Inside has a dining room, lounge area, fireplace, kitchen, upstairs bedroom with a double bed and a hot shower. Your spacious outdoor living area has a wood fired hot tub, a hammock, fridge, dining area and a composting toilet all looking out over pasture and beautiful native forest. On site you'll find lots of beautiful walking tracks, glow worms, a couple of crystal clear creeks as well as diverse and plentiful wildlife....expect to feel relaxed immediately. We try to make every stay special and cater to guests needs. * this accommodation is unconventional. Guests should have a normal level of agility to stay here. If unsure please call before booking *
We hope to appeal to guests looking for a fun experience. We provide comfortable accommodation with an emphasis on what is essential. For us that means getting in touch with nature. Living simply. We ask guests to take it slow on the steep gravel driveway and to close any gates they open as some animals are roaming.

About the host
Hosted by Natalie & Grant Patterson

Your hosts at the Alpacas Off Grid are Grant, Natalie, Shanti the Tibetan Spaniel, 15 Alpacas, 7 chickens and 4 ducks.
Their property used to be part of a large farm owned by the Riordan family. It was later subdivided and Grant and Nat purchased one of those subdivided sections in May 2019. With the creek, the off-grid house, and plenty of grazing for the alpacas - it was just what they were looking for.
Both Nat and Grant have both travelled extensively, and most recently lived for 5 years on Waiheke Island before moving to Golden Bay. Nat is a yoga teacher, originally from Brisbane and spins and knits garments from her alpaca's fleece. Grant loves the outdoors and frequently runs up the Kill Devil track on the neighbouring property - for fun!
Nat and Grant are experienced hosts having run a guest house on Waiheke Island during their time there. They love sharing their beautiful part of New Zealand with others - and look forward to welcoming you to the Alpacas Off Grid!
