Grassmere Orchard Sum
Summary:
There is no place more charming and unique than the Grassmere Orchard, a tiny house getaway just 5 minutes from the coastal city of Napier. This multifaceted destination merges the natural charm of an apple orchard with the luxurious amenities of a cat resort. Definitely a memorable holiday experience unlike any other!
It's a perfect pet friendly tiny house near the open sunny orchard surrounded by lush gardens offering the utmost comfort for you and your beloved pets.
The Space:
Grassmere Orchard is situated on the northern side of the apple orchard, with easy access to the veggie garden. The tiny house has its own secluded spot away from the luxury cat resort and has easy access to local towns (Taradale and Napier) which are about a 5-10 min drive. Not to mention popular attractions such as Bluff Hill Lookout, The National Aquarium of New Zealand, Te Mata Peak, and Mission Estate.
It's a comfortable 155-square-feet, well-equipped tiny house with comfortable and well-furnished guest rooms, wide open spaces, and comfortable seating areas. Complete with easy access to water, split air-conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities including a cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and gas-heated showers.
If you plan to spend your tiny house NZ retreats here, we advise guests to supply their basic necessities, such as food and drinking water during your stay with us.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the tiny house, and are restricted from entering any cat resort buildings or sheds unless accompanied by a staff member. As an added note, we ask guests to be mindful of traffic coming and going to during our cat resort opening hours is from 8:30 am-10 am and 4:30 pm-6 pm.
Please note that the orchard is not fully fenced, and there are free-ranging chickens, pukeko’s and rabbits in the orchard.
