About this property

Off the grid and beaten track

  • Our 1900’s recently relocated farm cottage is ideal for people wanting to escape. Off the beaten track up the Northbank valley, fully solar powered, water from freshwater spring, no cell phone service. The setting is peaceful, secluded and you can sit back and view the sun rises & sun sets. The Wairau River is 5 min walk away, and we are located near national parks, and a hour from town from Blenheim
