| Description | "Forest Retreat" sums it up nicely. Beautifully designed to complement its native forest setting, Te Nikau is an ideal hideaway for couples seeking seclusion and romance away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Inside, the house features a stylish, well-appointed kitchen and large open fireplace which you can gaze down at from the bedroom loft. Adding to the romantic ambience,a mountain stream trickles by outside. And being surrounded by native bush, bird watching and forest walks can be enjoyed without having to leave the property. |
