Immaculately presented house in good location.
House is an interesting conversion in a historical part of Thames. We enjoyed local walks as well as exploring further. Chris is a great host who made us feel very welcome.

About the host

Hosted by Cristopher

Host profile image
I am NZ born from a little district named Galatea. I have lived in Thames for the three years I have spent renovating this property that I hope you will enjoy staying in. I live in the front part of this old dairy as a separate residence. My part of the building is set up to make furniture. My career has spanned teaching, working in the melters of a steel mill, representing workers, facilitating educational courses on line and face to face .....

Why they chose this property

When I purchased this property it was as ugly as!! I saw the potential to change a white, leaky cement board building into a modern workshop/living space for me and Dingo my red heeler mate. It had the height I needed to throw timber around and was close to all of the amenities I liked - bike trails, the sea, walking, history etc. I have been able to set up a wonderful space for visitors to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Proximity to great beaches on this coast and over the ranges to the east coast a short drive away. Great walking and biking tracks so close by. The climate is pleasant, sometimes a little wet :).
