A House in Waikanae

In response to requests from a number of readers to blog some pictures of the house and grounds to give an idea of the lay-out, I have taken a few composite photos (using panorama / stitch type software). Apologies that the photos overrun their allotted space.

Lawns
Above: Looking eastwards across the lawns towards the house (roughly dead-centre) from the wooden Goat Hill fence. Kents Road runs along the back of this picture. Yes, that is Benny grazing in the meadow!

Southland
Above: Looking South from the driveway copse, with part of the orchard in the foreground, the adolescent veggie patch to the right of centre and the proposed chicken run down beyond the shed. The magnificent pines line the border of the property all along Kents Road in the background. (One can just make out the Goat Hill wooden fence on the extreme right.)

Driveway
Above: The house and driveway from the gate in Kents Road. To the right of the garage is the wood shed and water tank areas, with the mower garage and greenhouse down the pathway on the right.

Front lawn
Above: View of the house from the “front” lawn at The Snake. The kitchen yard and jardien potager beyond the trellis are on the left; The door to the left of the conservatory is from the dining room. To the right of the conservatory is the lounge, with the main bedroom on the right. Tyler’s room occupies the upstairs area.
