Summary:
We haven’t held back on comfort and modern luxuries. This unique retreat lets you enjoy the best of country life just 15 minutes from the heart of the city. Feed the pony, alpacas, fish, ducks, and pig — a hands-on farm experience for the whole family.
Unwind in the two hot tubs beneath the stars, or cozy up around the fire pit with your favourite show playing nearby. It’s the perfect blend of nature, relaxation, and convenience.
The Space:
Built in 2018, this stunning and spacious 400-square-meter residence sits on a beautifully landscaped 5,000-square-meter property. Ideally located just 15 minutes from both the airport and the city centre, it offers the perfect balance of convenience and countryside relaxation.
Guests are invited to hand-feed a friendly collection of animals, including ducks, a pony, alpacas, and even goldfish — a delightful experience for families and animal lovers alike.
Unwind in one of the two hot tubs while watching cattle graze peacefully in the paddocks, or gather around the in-ground fire pit for a cozy evening under the stars with a glass of wine.
Inside, the home features two separate lounge areas with TVs — ideal for giving adults and kids their own space to relax. A secure in-ground trampoline adds an extra element of fun for younger guests.
The house includes one full bathroom with a toilet, two additional separate toilets, and an extra shower. The master bedroom also features a private ensuite for added comfort.
Please note, the owners occasionally stay in a completely separate and private on-site cottage. Both homes maintain a high level of privacy, with the only shared area being the parking space.
We kindly ask that guests keep noise to a minimum after 10 pm. There is ample parking available, including space for a large RV.
