About this property

Country getaway, 15 mins to Feilding. Self contained apartment.

Chill out or use as a base to explore some back country. This unexpectedly modern guest apartment is across a courtyard from the owner's restored 1880s shepherd's cottage.
An excellent base for hiking, rural cycling, events in Feilding, Palmerston North or a stop off on the way north and south. A favourite with Wellington professionals seeking country adventure and the unhurried joys of market town shopping. Three towns to explore within a one hour drive - cafes, second hand treasures, boutique offerings.

Home from home and highly recommended.
We booked this property for a four week stay whilst visiting our children and grandchildren locally. Within 24 hours of arriving we went down with Covid. Paula and Mark couldn't have been more sympathetic and helpful, providing test kits, face masks and disinfectant wipes. Once we'd recovered we were able to engage more fully with P&M who were most welcoming and provided all the comforts we could possibly need. The property was spotlessly clean, amply equipped and truly comfortable and peaceful. In fact the most telling comment we can make is that it is a real home from home. We would highly recommend this property and, who knows, we may be back again. Beware of Archie, the dog...if you open your car door he'll be in!! He's harmless and very cute.

Very enjoyable weekend away
Lovely property, quiet location that is still near centres of various sizes, friendly and welcoming host. The array of food provided was really good, breakfast was covered as was morning and afternoon snacks and drinks. We were so well served by breakfast that lunch wasn't really required during our stay. Paula recommended a dinner option that was excellent and a local cafe that was also very good (when Diana approves of the Ginger Slice it must be good). We wanted a quiet couple of days to do things at our own pace and just to take it easy, making a few trips over relatively short distances. We got all that and more at Kiwitea Cottage Apartment, thank you very much.

Idyllic country apartment
We spent two nights here on our recent trip to NZ. Paula and Mark were fantastic hosts and we very much enjoyed talking to them about their vegetable gardens, organic certification process and the chickens and ducks as well as Mark's incredible art. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable and we will definitely return in the future. The apartment was brilliant, incredibly comfortable and stocked with the essentials and so much more. Thank you for your hospitality!

Beautiful relaxing break. Excellent hosts. Immaculate accommodation.
Spent an additional night (four nights) In February 2019 at this amazing property. We arrived early as arranged prior and were welcomed by extremely friendly accommodating hosts. The accommodation was immaculate, fully equipped and stocked with all the basic pantry requirements you could wish for and more. We were treated as part of the family and very much enjoyed the gardens and ducks! We have rebooked for next year and recommend this property for those looking for a relaxing stay and great company. Thanks to Mark and Paula for your hospitality and invaluable local knowledge.

About the host

Hosted by PaulaAl2

Host profile image
Hi - I'm Paula and with my husband Mark I've have been hosting guests since 2016. Our work (and that of both of our parents) propelled us to live in quite a few places. So we know what special looks like - Kiwitea is off the beaten track but just a 20 minute drive to everything we need. We like to have travelers coming and going and are happy to let you decide how much interaction you want. Share a coffee or a glass of wine with us or just come and go. We are organic food growers. Mark is a working artist. I write web content and am involved in creative projects. We're social, enjoy cooking and are part of a warm inclusive local community.

Why they chose this property

We bought this renovated historic cottage with its acre of class one soil and guaranteed community water supply so we could develop a certified organic garden. It's a conversion from pasture to garden beds and four years on the shelter is growing fast! We feel blessed to be part of a warm creative productive community and neighbourhood.

What makes this property unique

It's quiet. You can see the stars at night. The bed and the sofa are so comfortable.
