About this Holiday House

4 Wilson Road is located a stones throw from the ocean at Pounawea. A perfect place to escape to and relax from the "hustle and bustle" of everyday life, or a fabulous spot from which you can explore everything that the spectacular Catlin's has to offer. Our crib offers enough room for a large group to spread out. On the ground floor, there is a well equipped games room. The first floor has a large cozy central lounge with Yunca fire boasting views of the beach front, adjoining this there is a spacious well equipped kitchen, and finally a separate attic sleeping space in the top floor for the kids. Just around the corner there is a wonderful, well-maintained playground and also very handy is the native bush walks which are just on the edge of the township. The estuary at low tide provides the opportunity for families to safely explore the wonderful array of marine life first hand. At high tide, there is ample scope for swimming, fishing, paddle boarding and/or kayaking. There are numerous places along the coast to gather kaimoana including paua, cockles, mussels and flounder. The jetty is always popular with kids for catching crabs and little fish. This is an ideal rental for couples, families or even two families to enjoy a wonderful holiday in.

Contact with owner easy and helpful. House is delightful, comfortable with all amenities, great BBQ, books, games, etc. Warm, with fire and bedroom heating. Close to beach and playground and short distance from owaka. We liked the local history material available at the crib, made our visit to the museum even more interesting. Thank you for sharing your family crib with us

We really loved the living area of this home. The area is spacious and offers superb views. The kitchen is well kitted out and has basic supplies. There is a wealth of books, games, and DVD's. There will be something there to suit everyone's taste. There are two downstairs bedrooms. One is a lovely big bedroom with seating and a TV screen it and it is also the entrance to the home beside the key safe. The other downstairs bedroom has a 6 foot stud. The attic sleeping space is accessed via steep stairs with a handrail for the upper section of these stairs. If you are over 6 foot tall, be aware of some low head spaces. Otherwise you'll have a relaxed stay in a charming home.

I've stayed at lots of different houses in Pounawea, and this. is definitely one of my favourites. A great location, with a different, interesting view out of every window! Although the weather was pretty bad during our stay, the house had everything we needed to keep us comfortable, cosy and happy with the wood burner and lots of puzzles, games and DVDs. I'd love to stay here again and have a chance to enjoy the sun on the deck!
