Set within 6 acres of farmland this 1977 caravan with a conservatory is a comfortable spot to get a taste of rural life, while only being 7 minutes away from the heart of Lower Hutt.

We’ve found it works well for families as well as adults. However, many budget savvy adult groups love it as they are happy in a smaller space.
