History:
Nestled on a spacious rural residential property, the home is accessed via a striking circular driveway lined with trees, setting a tranquil tone from the moment you arrive. Originally designed in 1892 by renowned Dunedin architect Francis Petre, whose work is celebrated in Catholic churches from the late 1800s, this deconsecrated church was thoughtfully converted into a cosy one-bedroom home in the 1980s.

Inside, you’ll find timeless charm at every turn, with beautiful wooden floors, doors, storage, and seating adding warmth and texture. The fully equipped kitchen, adorned with stunning stained-glass windows, radiates character, while the fireplace invites you to unwind on cosy evenings. The tiled bathroom offers underfloor heating for a luxurious touch.
Second Level:
Upstairs, the loft mezzanine serves as a private sanctuary with a spacious bed and a cosy seating area—perfect for romantic getaways. Step outside to enjoy the outdoor seating area and take in the serenity of the expansive grounds, offering a peaceful escape from the everyday.
This retreat isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an experience steeped in history, charm, and heartfelt care, perfect for couples seeking something truly special.
