Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back. Great location with lots of space and still only a short drive to town. Warm and welcoming accommodation with a fantastic fireplace for the cooler nights. Jo was easy to communicate with and made us feel very welcome.

Great Stay

Very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Location is great (although if you don’t have a car it’d be problematic), just a short ride into town. We loved being greeted by resident sheep every morning. WiFi was sporadic but good enough to get us through. We will be back!

The Best Cottage

The cottage has all the amenities you need for a perfect getaway. It exceeded expectations. It is in a country farm setting with all the restaurants and stores 10 minutes away. The nicest, cleanest, most comfortable VRBO we have stayed in and the property manager was great!

Serene and stylish getaway

Adored this ultra modern property near Masterton. It was luxuriously appointed and located in the most serene setting on a farm in the Wairarapa. We stayed 3 nights but could easily have stayed longer as time just seemed to stand still. Jo, our host was lovely and it was close to nearby towns. Highly recommended.

Beautiful modern rural getaway

Really great location just five minutes drive from Masterton, very peaceful, quiet and delightful setting on a working farm (greet the sheep as you drive down the driveway). It's beautifully set up and equipped, everything you could need. Thanks Jo :)

Beautifully designed cottage with all mod cons

Absolutely loved staying at this beautifully appointed cottage with all the mod cons. Was such ease to just pack our bag, toiletries and any food required, as the cottage is fully equipped. Situated close to town, yet far enough to feel such calm & relaxation. Grateful for such a lovely weekend away & to the beautiful host Jo for making it extra special with a bottle of bubbly to celebrate joining the 50's club. Recommended accommodation in Masterton.

Loved our stay

Just one observation, wondered why there was no door to close off the bedroom from the kitchen / living room. Partner wanted to go to bed early, but no way to stop light (and noise from the TV) getting to the bedroom
