Summary:
Welcome to Taranaki Creekside KEA! The ideal holiday homes NZ escape sits on a 4-acre lifestyle block in rural Taranaki, which is divided into four paddocks, roughly an acre each. Surrounded by working agricultural farms, to the east is a dairy farm, to the west is a horse ranch, and south is a beef cattle ranch. A hidden gem within Egmont (Taranaki) National Park, overlooking Tongariro, Ruapehu, and Ngāruhoe.
The Space:

Located in one of the best tiny house rentals in Taranaki, perfectly nestled beside a creek, among native trees and bushland.

Nearby Stratford, Midhurst, and Egmont National Park are just a few of the attractions in the area.
A comfortable 139 square-feet stay set in an idyllic setting where your welcoming hosts would love to share their beautiful location overlooking "Mt Doom" from "Lord of the Rings" and Mt Taranaki from “The Last Samurai” bear a resemblance to Mt Fuji.
