    Peaceful perfect situation
    Our family really enjoyed and appreciated the peace & quiet we could have at boarders retreat in Greytown. Close to shops, eating places, family and activities. Everything is there to cook with, sleeping in comfortable beds, country decor with outdoor furniture to enjoy the lovey weather Greytown has to offer. We highly recommend to others looking for a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet near to shopping, cafes, restaurants and activities in the Waiarapa. Thanks so much for having us.
