Mid City Modern - walk to shops, Royston Hospital.

From the moment you enter your accommodation we know you will appreciate it's great design and enjoy the unique 70's vibe.

Built in 1971 the dwelling is set at the rear of a quiet urban development. A purpose built Lockwood dental clinic at the drive entrance is followed by three private residences behind. The guest accommodation is the third residence, is spacious and enjoys a generous rear garden. Perfect for sun and city lovers needing a sense of calm and seclusion whilst being in the CBD fringe and handy to the shops, supermarkets and Royston private hospital. Great for wine buffs and if you are fit, it is close enough to cycle to the Gimblett Gravels, being wineries found in the Bridge Pa wine triangle. Walk to Craft and Social which is our favourite Friday night stopping place, the Gin Bar, Sazio for your Italian meal, Brave Brewing for an outstanding local brew, OTT for an Asian meal, Fun Buns for Asian street food or the very cool Cellar 495 which is a slick yet casual wine bar and bistro. Heretaunga Street East has an amazing selection of gastronomic places to visit including the Y'a Bon French bakery, Turkish from Cafe Anatolia and the Bambino Pizzeria. The list for foodies goes on and on. Also, there is interesting shopping in the East Block. If you like to browse second hand books, the Little Red bookshop is a must visit. Hutchinson's store for fabulous furniture and Coco & Co for handcrafts with a nostalgic twist.

Sunday mornings you may like to visit the Farmer's Market which is held in the Hawkes Bay Showgrounds on the fringe of Hastings and is another food related experience to be enjoyed. Perhaps is a game of golf at the Hawkes Bay or Hastings Golf course is on the radar? Both courses being close to wineries within the Bridge Pa Wine Triangle.

Back to the accommodation, there is free parking available on the roadside but only if you are quick as office staff in the area enjoy the free parking too. There is room for two guest vehicles at the end of your driveway. The next street over is paid parking. Your accommodation is on the business hub fringe.

The open plan lounge (with heat pump), kitchen and dining areas are filled with natural light and the windows are draped in a retro styled James Dunlop fabric suiting the age of the home perfectly. A Nordic IMG recliner entices more than a little relaxation and the 1980's inspired genuine double mould water hyacinth armchairs set the scene. Very cool and original 1970's pendant lights are a welcoming feature in the lounge and dining rooms.

Also to be enjoyed is the large near new ‘Kitchen Studio’ kitchen which is completed with a barista's coffee machine and grinder. The perfect start to the day for coffee lovers.

A new Kwila clad deck with inset lighting and two overhead retro styled fabric covered awnings is the perfect place for the mild HB evenings. A baby Weber BBQ is onsite for guests to use and the Organic Farm butchery is nearby. The well fenced and gated private gardens are filled with hydrangeas, camellias and mature palm trees and definitely add to the 70's vibe.

The view to the gardens from within your accommodation complements the earthy feel of the Lockwood pine timbers. Near new quality floor treatments throughout, vinyl to wet areas have a cool retro vibe. The master bedroom's headboard end block wall has been reframed, soundproofed and then has double gib cladding to ensure a disturbance free sleep. A sense of fun is the citrus coloured NZ made wallpaper, a design which is inspired from 70's floor vinyl. This master bedroom also has a new heat/cooling pump to ensure both summer and winter comfort. The accommodation has the convenience of the bedrooms and dining area providing Iconic black power points with USB ports.

Separate new WC. The front loading washing machine is set within an engineered stone laundry station. The new bathroom vanity has a movement sensored light on the large circular mirror above.

This is the perfect professional’s base and we will consider negotiating a fair rate for those on longer work placements. The dwelling has a Healthy Homes Certification.

Whether it be for work, wine, food, sport, concerts or simply a holiday, this accommodation will likely be perfect for you.
