The Beach House Tora, Wairarapa : Accommodation for the soul
Like
no other place on earth the coastal area of Tora / Te Awaiti offers locals
and visitors alike a sense of place and perspective on the world that
settles the mind and rejuvenates the soul. Situated
right on the coast with nothing between you and South America,
The buildings sit together on the edge of the farm with private access to the sea less than 50mtr out in front as well as access to the 1600 Acre farm. There are gentle walks (or mountain bike rides) along the foreshore or winding up the stream, or more ambitious tracks in the hills giving spectacular 360deg inland and coastal views. During
the autumn, winter and spring there are many wading birds on the foreshore
and in the shallow lake just out in front.
It has 2 bedrooms each with a double bed and a bunkroom with a bunk
and a single bed. There is also a futon sofa/bed in the living room
if needed. All beds are firm. There is a large living/dining room, which
looks out to sea, with double glass doors opening out onto a large deck
giving an airiness and light to the house. For the cooler months there
is a wood burner for warmth. The Bigger Beach House, a relocated Shearer’s Quarters full of local history, was purpose renovated with visitor accommodation in mind.
