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.
Rolf and Monika consider themselves fortunate to have grown up in the beautiful Berner Oberland in Switzerland. Both have a deep passion for travelling and exploring new ways of life and cultures. In 2009, they made the deliberate decision to move to New Zealand to create a more balanced work-life dynamic. They are wholeheartedly committed to hosting guests at their subtropical property, offering valuable travel tips, and indulging them with delicious homemade treats. Rolf, a highly skilled engineer and builder, has an unwavering love for motorbikes and the great outdoors. Monika is a dedicated producer of organic food, and she takes pleasure in gardening and creating delectable homemade goods. Both deeply cherish their pets and are unwavering in their commitment to caring for the environment and our planet.
Conveniently, there is a small shop and a fish & chips takeaway on the main road. There are numerous restaurants in Omokoroa and Te Puna. Kiwifruit and avocado orchards are close by, and our neighbors have horses and sheep grazing. Our property is a mere 10 minutes from Omokoroa Beach and a stunning golf club. Additionally, it's only 10 minutes from the Bethlehem shopping area with restaurants. Cycling, walking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, and horse riding are all readily available nearby.
