Cozy cottage, everything we needed and more
A wonderful stay!! We enjoyed the comprehensive provided breakfast with fresh bread, and a very well-equipped kitchen. Location is excellent and the hosts are super friendly. Only bear in mind the fridge has no freezing section of you're buying ice cream :) Would absolutely stay again.

Escape in the Wairarapa
An absolutely excellent stay in a perfect location. The cottage was cosy and beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need. Janette and Neil’s were the best hosts we have ever had and nothing was too much trouble. Their beautiful dogs came to visit and we really enjoyed them.

Comfortable, well-appointed, good value
Comfortable stay in a cute cottage with an NZ bach feel. Had everything we needed for a comfortable week in Greytown. We appreciated the breakfast food provided, and it was great having our own little kitchen, plus a separate living room. Janette was friendly and thoughtful and the dogs were sweet. Great value for money, would recommend!

Cute cottage near Greytown
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cottage. It has everything you need for a short stay and is well thought out (i.e. umbrella, salt and pepper etc.) and the breakfast provisions were welcomed. The main bed is very comfy! The cottage is also only a short walk from Greytown or a 15min drive from Martinborough and its wineries.

Outstanding stay.
This is a really five star wee cottage. So much was packed into its little frame. So much peace and calm. So much warmth and generosity from the hosts. We loved it.
