Magnolia cottage is set among farmland in the beautiful Waikato district, but is only 8 mins from the city and all conveniences. There is a pub and cafe 2 kms away in Whatawhata village if you'd prefer to eat out somewhere close by. There is also a small superette 5 kms away in Te Kowhai or a supermarket in Dinsdale, 8 kms away. The cottage is very private and you can chill out away from the bustle of city life. You have the use of our lovely cottage with private outdoor bath and can meander over our 15 acre farmlet at your leisure
