2 Bedroom Cottage in Riwaka, Motueka

Orchard View Farm Cottage is situated on 20 acres of private land which includes pasture, native bush, garden and riverside. The cottage overlooks the property with pine forest to the rear.
Well away from the road the cottage is ideally situated for families with children, trout fishermen (as the Riwaka River borders the property), and those people who just want to sit back and relax.
Orchard View can sleep 4 people in 2 bedrooms (one queen and two single bunk beds) Freshly laundered bed linen and towels are provided for your use. A fifth guest can be accommodated on the sofa bed and a cot is available on request.
The kitchen is well equipped with utensils, crockery, pots and pans, electric stove, large fridge/freezer, microwave and toaster. In the living/dining area there is Sky TV and DVD player and Chromecast.
Mobile phone coverage is a little hit and miss but there is unlimited free WiFi.
The large deck which catches the sun all day is furnished with gas BBQ, tables and chairs for outdoor dining. Here you can relax, enjoy the views across the valley, spot the native birds and listen to their song. Native birds include fantails, kereru, tuis, bellbirds, kingfishers and wekas.
A three minute stroll will bring you to the riverside or feel free to explore the property and make friends with the animals which include a 2 Labrador dogs, 2 cats, mini horses, a llama, and a few hens, geese and ducks.
A 10 minute drive, or an easy 40 minute walk, from the cottage will bring you to the Riwaka Resurgence which is where the northern branch of the Riwaka River emerges from the depths of the Takaka Hill. The cottage also provides a perfect base from which to explore the beautiful Abel Tasman National Park or laze on the beaches of Kaiteriteri and Marahau which are all only about15 minutes away by car.
A day trip 'over the hill' to Golden Bay is a must. Enjoy the scenery, which you might well recognise from the Lord of The Rings, as you travel up the Takaka Hill. Visit Harewoods Hole (the deepest vertical shaft in New Zealand), or stroll down the main street of Takaka, well recognised for its arts and crafts community where you will also find a good selection of restaurants and cafés.
Coffee, tea, sugar and condiments are provided on arrival as are basic cleaning materials. Other provisions can be found in Motueka a 15 minute drive away.
