The Milestone is a handcrafted timber cabin, nestled in a native forest/garden setting, where your senses will be filled with the sights & sounds of nature, whilst still having modern amenities at your fingertips. Please be aware that due to natural hazards, such as watercourses, unfenced banks & boundaries, the property is not suitable for children. We welcome guests over 16 years of age. We also welcome touring motorcycle riders. We are conveniently sited within 30 minutes of the ferries. The Milestone is a coastal (but not beachfront) property in the inner Pelorus Sound. This is where you find native forests reach the rugged shoreline, dotted with bays and coves formed by drowned river valleys. The area was once milled by settlers, but is now a paradise for nature lovers, birdwatchers, hikers, and watersport enthusiasts. The scenery is unique and very calming. Here at the Milestone we are not overlooked by neighbours, and our guests have loved the peace and serenity. The cabin has a studio room with Queen bed, and rear room with King bed. Both have luggage racks. The bathroom leads off the King room, and is fitted with modern full size shower, hand crafted washstand with shelving, robe hooks, illuminated mirror, storage cabinet, and toilet. Large bath sheets, hand towels, facecloths, bathmat, hairdryer, tissues, handwash, shower gel, shampoo & conditioner are all supplied. All water to the cabin is filtered and UV treated, with hot water on demand. Rest assured, all hard surfaces are cleaned with a Covid-19 killing disinfectant prior to your stay. There are three steps between King and Queen rooms which can be lit up at night for your safety. Pricing is for the entire cabin. The entertaining deck in front of the studio has been designed to utilize the vista over grassed areas & out over the water, & therefore does not have a protective balustrade, but drops less than a metre onto a grassed bank. You will be kept cool on hotter days with a heat pump (hot or cold air), & a multi-stage ceiling fan. On cooler nights the heat pump will warm both rooms, & the Queen bed is fitted with an electric blanket. Extra duvets/blankets are available should you require more but full insulation keeps the cabin cosy all year around. All windows & sliding glass doors have UV shades for extra privacy. We supply tea, coffee, hot chocolate, sugar & milk. There is a bar fridge (small ice box), microwave, toaster, electric jug, cutlery, crockery, cookware, utensils, & drinking glasses, plus outdoor barbecue & utensils. Dishwashing equipment, paper towels, & recycling bins are all supplied . You are welcome to explore the expansive areas forward (north) of the driveway, plus gardens & forest surrounding the two large areas of grass. For our privacy, we ask you leave areas surrounding the main house to us, but please do come to the back door in the car port and knock loudly if you require our attention. We are only too pleased to help you in any way.
