The school house

The School House is situated up a tree lined driveway, and offers peaceful, self catering accommodation for 1-3 people. It is an 5 minute drive (3km) from the centre of Te Awamutu. The school house is situated in a rural setting, with beautiful views of the garden and surrounding countryside. Built in the 1880's and operational as a school until 1939, it has a character and history that is unique. Surrounded by trees it has a host of native birds including Tui, Fantails and Kingfishers. Built in the 1880's and operational as a school until 1939, it has a character and history all its own.

The trees that surround the school house often are alive with Tuis. There is a golf course just down the road and Te Awamutu has an indoor pool and a cinema featured in the lonely planet guide. There is a space centre attraction just up the road. We offer free parking, with room for large vehicles and even boats. There is a bus sevice but it is a few km's away from us. You really need a car to stay at the school house. Although we do not provide breakfast we do supply a loaf of bread and some butter and spreads, also eggs if the chickens are laying, milk and tea coffee, hot chocolate and milo. There is a queen bed in the bedroom, and also we can put up the hotel quality roll away bed, either in the bedroom or in the lounge behind the settee out of the way.
