The family cottage accommodation

Claremont’s Family Cottage is a modern award-winning, self-contained 3-bedroom heritage-style cottage with a floor area of 120 sq m, a rural outlook and an expansive flat lawn which is fully fended where children can safely play. It has stunning views down the Waipara river valley and to Mt Brown and is set within the grounds of the historic homestead yet it is separated from the original buildings by a small wood lot with mature specimen trees.

This cottage is ideal for families with up to three younger children. For those with mature children or for two couples traveling together we suggest the Owners Retreat Villa.

The Family Cottage is furnished in a country-style and has shady verandas and a small courtyard. The accommodation, which is serviced daily, comprises a spacious triple-aspect open-plan living room, dining and kitchen with stunning views over farmland to the mountains beyond.

There is a master bedroom with a queen bed, dressing room and en-suite with stall shower. There is a second slightly smaller double bedroom with twin-single beds and a further single bedroom. These two bedrooms share a second bathroom with a separate bath and shower. The kitchen includes a fridge, an electric ceramic hob, full oven, microwave and dishwasher and is fully equipped for self-catering. There is a separate laundry with both washer and drier.

The cottage is also equipped with TV/DVD/Video and a CD player. It is fully air-conditioned or centrally heated with reverse cycle cooling/heating available in the living, dining area and all bedrooms. A section of toys, children’s books, DVD’s, videos and games are provided. A cot and high chair can be made available upon request.

Guests have access to numerous walks on the private 2,400 acre Estate and Nature Reserve and they may swim in our natural rock swimming pool at the spectacular Waipara gorge and take an interest in the daily activities of a NZ livestock farm. Guests also have access to our lodge facilities, including free high speed internet access, Wi-Fi, an all-weather hard tennis court, badminton, croquet and our garden spa pool.

The tariff is B&B with breakfast provided within the accommodation. A supper platter for two and a bottle of Waipara wine provided in your accommodation is also available by prior arrangement. Alternatively, a Claremont 3-course dinner is available at the Nearby Nor’wester restaurant or dine al carte at a choice of several cafes and restaurants.

" The cottage was perfect for our family needs, the children loved feeding Ralph and Nibbles and swimming at the gorge and your Land Rover safari was truly eye-opening. We had an amazing time"
