McEntyre’s Tarn Houses, Millbrook banner

McEntyre’s Tarn is an exclusive five home hamlet of single level residences located in a sheltered and elevated, sunny corner of Millbrook Resort. The five cottage-style homes hark back to the simple stone crofts of the early settlers in Central Otago.

The three bedroom, two bathroom homes have all the charm of a stone cottage, complete with wooden beams and a stone fireplace, coupled with contemporary kitchen and bathroom design. Interior living is cleverly designed as separate but inter-connectable spaces with easy access to three separate sunny and peaceful outdoor living areas.

"Expertly designed at a refined scale, these houses have excellent market appeal and therefore are a successful result for the client. The internal layout is defined with differing volumes, and multi-use spaces give informal flexibility.

A restrained use of texture and materials provides an elegant solution. An easy flow has been created between internal spaces and out to the well-appointed external pergola/loggia."
