Welcome to the Swiss-Kiwi Cottage & Retreat – Your Serene Escape Awaits 🌿 Nestled on our peaceful lifestyle block in New Zealand, the Swiss-Kiwi Cottage & Retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and savor the simple joys of homestead living. Whether you're seeking a romantic weekend or a soulful short-term stay, our retreat offers two distinct accommodation styles to suit your rhythm. 🏡 Choose Your Perfect Stay The One-Bedroom Cottage is a 16m² Tiny House – cozy, romantic, and thoughtfully designed for simplicity. It features a fridge, microwave, kettle, and toaster, with a private bathroom located just a few steps away in the adjacent building. There’s no TV, making it ideal for guests who crave quiet, connection, and a touch of rustic charm. The One-Bedroom House, by contrast, is a fully self-contained apartment. It includes a TV, a well-equipped kitchen, and an ensuite bathroom – perfect for those who prefer more space and modern comforts while still enjoying the tranquility of our homestead. 🛁 Relax & Recharge Treat yourself to our optional/ extra cost Hydrotherapy Vortex Hot Tub/Jacuzzi experience – the ultimate way to unwind under the stars. 🐔 Meet Our Feathered & Furry Friends Enjoy the gentle company of our resident pets – two friendly chickens and two affectionate cats – all set against a backdrop of vibrant birdlife. 🍞 Wake Up to a Homestead Breakfast Start your day with a nourishing spread: coffee and tea, homemade bread, creamy butter, homemade jam, homemade yogurt, and handpicked fruits. 📶 Simple Comforts Included We offer free parking and complimentary Wi-Fi. While we’re located outside the city and don’t have fibre-optic internet, our connection is reliable enough for light browsing—and always free.
