Gully hideaway apartment

Kia ora! Welcome to our little eco retreat in the city. Located on the edge of the Ranfurly gully nature reserve, It's a peaceful, beautiful and special place where you’ll wake to native bird song, not traffic noise.If you're on holiday, a work visit, romantic rendezvous, or just seeking somewhere calm & quiet away from the crowds, the Hideaway is a perfect place to rest & recover. The 30m2 apartment is solar powered, fully insulated & double glazed.Inside, it has cool white walls, lofty trusses, recycled native timber & hardwood finishes. The bedroom has a queen bed with nice linen (guests tell us it's v-e-r-y comfy), a TV & fast fibre.The living room has a couch & table, but the main feature is nature itself - a lovely peaceful intimate view out through the gully, where native birds sing & your eyes are treated to every shade of green. There’s also a small deck where you can relax on warm evenings, soaking up the gully ambience.The kitchenette includes a fridge, convection/microwave & induction hob, tea, Raglan Roast coffee, organic milk & everything you need to self cater (byo food & wine).The bathroom has a shower with super efficient heat pump hot water – and a skylight that opens to the stars.Did we mention there's a 7KW EV charger you can use too?We have an ongoing project restoring our bit of the gully, transforming it from a jungle of rubbish (trash) & invasive weeds into a green paradise of birdsong & native flora. Over the years we’ve cleared out thousands of weeds & noxious plant species - not to mention old car tyres, home appliances, bottles, china & broken glass, concrete, and even a cute little brass owl figurine!They've been replaced with a network of natural pathways and many hundreds of native seedlings, which are busily growing into mature trees and bushes. We think it’s an inner city paradise in the making. Come and see for yourself!
