About this property

Birdhouse Retreat on Boord, Kumeu

  • Peaceful and private 'Birdhouse' country retreat nestled amongst the trees and garden, where you can listen out for the beautiful birdsong of our native Tūī, the cheeping of Fantails/Pīwakawaka as they flitter in the branches, the swooping sounds of the Kererū and the soft chanting of the Morepork/Ruru at night. Modern rustic tiny home, vacant now our daughter has left the nest - right in the heart of wine country and near wedding venues in and around Kumeū.
    Ready for your romantic weekend away, a base for attending a local wedding, retreat for visiting family or catching up with friends.

    Close to Kumeu Showgrounds, Kumeu Village shops, Kumeu Market, great restaurants, local wineries, the beautiful black sand beach of Muriwai, strawberry picking, Parakai Hot Pools, forest walks and trails, local breweries and cafés.

    Nearby Wedding venues include Markovina Vineyard Estate, Soljan's Winery, Kumeu River Winery, Kumeu Valley Estate, Whispering Waters, The Riverhead Tavern, Bridgewater Estate, The Barn Waimauku, The Hunting Lodge, Settlers Country Manor, Abel Estate, Allely Estate, Hallertau Brewery and Lone Pine Estate.

    Our family home is across the driveway from the tiny home, yet still peaceful and private. We love our animals, with a very friendly pet dog Monty, pet goats and horses...and of course the birds in the trees! Please note driveway gate must be kept closed at all times to keep Monty safe!
