About this house
Welcome to The Pond House by Homello, a peaceful 2.3-acre country retreat with a private pool, picturesque pond and expansive grounds, offering plenty of space to gather, unwind and escape the city.
• Private 2.3-acre lifestyle property with expansive lawns, gardens & fruit trees
• Picturesque pond with jetty & peaceful rural views
• Private swimming pool with sunny north-facing deck
• Spacious 5-bedroom home with multiple living areas
• Wood-burning fireplace for cosy winter evenings
• Large, fully equipped kitchen overlooking the gardens
• Super-fast Wi-Fi for streaming, remote work & longer stays

Set across 2.3 private acres, The Pond House combines the space and tranquillity of a country property with convenient access to Auckland. Spend summer days beside the pool, wander through the gardens and fruit trees, watch the birdlife around the pond or simply enjoy having plenty of room to slow down and relax.
At the heart of the home is a large kitchen overlooking the gardens, flowing into generous open-plan living and dining areas. A second lounge opens directly onto the pool deck, giving families and groups several spaces to spend time together or spread out. During the cooler months, the wood-burning fireplace creates a warm, inviting place to settle in for the evening.
Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys peaceful views across the pond, along with a walk-in wardrobe and private ensuite. Four additional bedrooms and multiple bathrooms provide plenty of room for larger families and groups, while hotel-quality linen is provided throughout.
Outside, the swimming pool and north-facing deck make the most of sunny days, while the expansive lawns, established gardens and pond give the property its distinctive country feel. Despite the peaceful setting, the motorway is around 10 minutes away, making The Pond House a convenient base for exploring Auckland or settling in for a longer stay.
