About this property

Private Suite in Shared Family Home in Otumoetai - 'Sherwood Forest'

Welcome to our peaceful little pocket of Tauranga!

Our private guest suite is part of a warm, family-run mini homestead tucked into a quiet suburban street. Surrounded by fruit trees, veggie gardens, and happy pets, this sunny space offers comfort, calm, and a true local experience. Guests adore the organic plant ripened produce available during their stay, ducks,hens and honey bees roam the garden freely.

Private Suite has it's own private entrance, cosy bedroom, and a clean, modern bathroom.

Enjoy a hot drink on the deck overlooking the garden, curl up with a book by the lounge fireplace, or explore the nearby beaches, walks, and town centre—just a short drive away.

Perfect for solo travellers, couples, small families, or work trips, our space is simple, welcoming, and filled with thoughtful touches to help you unwind. We've even had some quite adept musicians have a play on the piano! We were very lucky to hear such beautiful sounds.

Learn about and discuss circular living and sustainable philosophy, home and garden design using biophilic wellness design principles for the interior, and permaculture for the landscape. Our visitors love to connect with like minded people and share knowledge of well-being practices. Take a look at our Projects page for our current urban development project we would love help with!

Animals include 2 of each: dogs, cats, hens, and ducks. All friendly and well socialised. We even have friendly birds and butterflies who occasionally fly inside to say hello! This is a true nature loving space!

If this sounds like you, book a holiday with us today and enjoy the connection in the shared spaces with host and other guests or keep to yourself in your Private Suite - or a balance of both!

We look forward to sharing our slice of paradise with you!
