    Trass Valley Cottage - Delightful rural retreat

    Nurture family time and connecting with friends by planning a Great Escape!

    Just 30 minutes from Nelson airport, Wakefield is surprisingly central to all the action.
    Tasman's Great Taste Trail passes at the end of the road.
    Nelson is a mountain biking mecca with an abundance of mountain bike parks nearby. Your hosts are part of the crew of community volunteers building the new Kainui Mountain Bike Park which offers Grade 2 and 3 trails for families to ride and is entered off the Great Taste Trail across the road. Kaiteriteri and Nelson Lakes offer great riding too (within one hour drive).
    Your hosts love to explore on mountain bikes and motorbikes and can offer useful advice and guidance.

    Acres and acres of Hops, Grapes and Apples in the area equals one thing - great breweries and wineries! to be explored within an easy drive.

    Along with optional Wifi (Starlink switch can be switched off if you want to get away from it all), everything is provided for good old fashioned entertainment. A selection of classically awesome DVD's - projected like a movie theatre, games like Knuckle Bones where the adults can beat the kids! and a selection of books -informative interesting and strange.

    The cottage has a peaceful charm, an inviting warmth and comfort - just what's ordered at the end of a fun filled day.
    Special conditions:
    Children must be supervised. Electric fences and ponds are located on this and surrounding properties. Be aware that it is not a fully fenced property.

    Our Burmese cat and two friendly dogs may take themselves for a walk to visit. Please be aware of this if you have pet allergies. We ask them not to but they just won't listen.

    Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

    Another lovely stay in a quiet charming country cottage
    We have stayed at Trass Valley Cottage several times and love it more each time. It is fabulously clean with everything you might need and some yummy extras! It has a pretty country garden and you can hear the nearby cows gently lowing and the tuis and bellbirds in the garden’s amazing tree canopy. Idyllic. We recommend this stay highly.

    Perfect place to get away from it all for a few days. The cottage is tucked away in a peaceful and picturesque valley. The gardens and grounds were well maintained and the autumn colours were stunning! Amazing!

    Beautiful cottage and gardens
    The cottage was immaculate and lovingly cared for along with the beautiful flower garden. Lovely quiet location away from main roads but not too remote. Ideal for exploring Nelson and the Able Tasman area. Very warm welcome from Leesa.

    Escape to the country
    Trass cottage was beautifully presented. A very peaceful setting while close enough to the nearest shops. Leesa was a fantastic host. Being able to play with the dogs was great for our daughter. Would love to stay again. Highly recommend Trass cottage.

    Lovely bach in a good central location
    The bach itself is lovely, nice neat and a great space for our family. We stayed here with our three children (11, 10 & 7) and there was plenty of space for them to run around. They loved the owners 2 dogs and cat, they were very friendly and came to say hello every day. The location is nice and central for all we needed in the region, everything was a maximum of an hours drive away. The Kaiteriteri mountain bike park and Spooners Tunnel were definite highlights. The owners also lent us lights to get through the tunnel which was really helpful. Would definitely stay here again :-)
