Such a beautiful setting!

Such a beautiful setting! Rural NZ at its finest, and only a short drive to vineyards and all the boutique shops you need for a girls weekend! we are definitely going back again. Next time we’ll take our kids. Absolutely loved the spa and got plenty of use out of it. The house had everything we needed, and plenty of heaters and blankets so we were always warm.

Great house, two fire places and a heat pump meant the house was lovely and toasty. Comfy beds, plenty of room and a lovely outlook. Only minor downside is very old showers, though they worked fine.

About the host

Hosted by Jill and Doug

Host profile image
Doug and Jill enjoy travelling and have stayed at many Bed and Breakfast properties around the world. They offer their home to you, albeit they have a private flat which is occupied by Louise, our Caretaker, occasionally. They know what they want in a holiday house and hope they have provided it for you.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, rural, spacious. Sunny and shady areas, and if its raining, plenty of room inside with 4 sitting rooms. Only 4km from village. Big bedrooms, sleep 3 to 5 people and 3 bathrooms. Hen or stag parties welcome, but the house must be left as found and you need to bring your own linen, or sleeping bags, plus towels. I will provide linen for $15 per person if required, paid direct to my bank account as above.

What makes this property unique

3 large bedrooms with ensuites plus private sunroom with pullout couch Four living areas for privacy if wanted. Outside spaces when you want sun, or shade. Working farm, and farm walks. Private spa pool, only onlookers cattle, or sheep! Tranquil - No neighbours! Only 4 km drive from Martinborough Square
