About this cottage rental
Experience the romance of life a hundred years ago in our little pioneer cottage.
Just 8km from Masterton, the cottage sits overlooking our private lagoon and the workings of our sheep and beef farm. In summer the lagoon dries up but there are still the 360 degree views of the mountains, hills and Wairarapa plains.
Built entirely of recycled materials the cottage is now home to many precious heirlooms gifted by family and friends, beginning with its beautiful stain glass front door.
No electricity but there is the convenience of a gas hob, solar lights and a USB charging port.
The cottage is very cosy and warmed in winter by a little pot belly. The flush loo and the bath under the stars are both one step off the deck.
The icebox will cool your wine for a drink on the verandah and if you don't wish to cook dinner on your night away then it's a short drive into town where there is a rich array of restaurants.
Upon deposit I will email you an information sheet with driving directions.
Two night stays are preferred.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only.
Extras: Linen included.
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to clean the house and do the dishes before you leave.

The care that was put into this space is so clear! Such a beautiful place with so much charm. Can’t recommend this cottage enough! I will be telling everyone about it.

Beautiful setting and accomodation. Really enjoyed the vibe and the potbelly. Thanks for charging the bike battery. Communication could have been clearer on website about lack of electricity for bike charging and limited kitchen... Eg only gas top, no oven.

We stayed over the Easter weekend and we were absolutely besotted by this little cottage. We loved the privacy, the scenery and the location was great for seeing other parts of the Wairarapa for a day trip before coming back to a relaxing night by candlelight. The entire cottage is so thoughtfully decorated and has a lot of reading material for any history enthusiasts who want to learn more about the area. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, utensils, and gorgeous dinnerware so all we had to bring was our kai. We loved the little radio and we had that playing throughout most of our visit. Thanks so much for sharing a slice of heaven with us!
