A piece of NZ History, the former Fortrose teacher's house, built in 1938, sits now in a large sheltered farm garden, in total serenity.
Two bedrooms, also spare beds, everything provided including good books, full kitchen and laundry, games, bike, trampoline, big lawn and patio, period ceilings and native wood floors, lots of paintings. Woodburner and new heat pump.
Private access across the farm to the Southern Ocean with its Jurassic coast, birdlife, views of Stewart Island, a great place to build a summer bonfire on the sand and watch the sun go down.
Almost at southernmost point of South Island. Location handy for Catlins and for Invercargill / Bluff.
