Delphine and Guillaume de ROUVROY
Home with a dreamy indoor outdoor flow from the kitchen and dining area out to a covered barbecue area with open fire. Being on the tourist route, this hideaway is away from masses but within easy reach at just 10 minutes from the airport and midway between the tranquil sands of Paihia and cosmopolitan kerikeri. Step outside to picture perfect landscaping, cottage style with the ultimate little garden shed built to preside over the designated vegetable garden with its raised beds. Our property has got mature orchards: avocados, hazelnut, fig, plums, lemons and oranges.. Beautiful waterways and ponds extensively planted with natives where the bird life vibrates .. A tennis court is available for our guests. Finishing the day on the Spa will relax your mind . A peaceful spot hidden from the road with complete privacy.
We are a French couple, full of energy and enjoy having guests from all over the world. We invite you to join us in the beautiful 12 hectares paradise of "Forest Waters" that we made our home 3 years ago. It is a beautiful oasis of peace, abundant with nature and beautiful landscapes. You can access to our kitchen, outdoor terrace with an open fire, living room with a fire place and dining room with a beautiful view. A washing machine and a dryer are available with a supplement. The breakfast is offered and is included ( eggs, cereals, toast, jam, butter, peanut butter, vegemite, fruit of the season if any, coffee, tea, hot chocolate.) Finishing the day on the SPA will relax your mind while you are looking at the stars. Welcome to Forest Waters!
This hideaway is away from masses but within easy reach at just 13 minutes from the airport and midway between the tranquil sands of PAIHIA and cosmopolitan KERIKERI.
