Rose Cottage - summer pool - Kahutara, Wairarapa

A spacious country retreat, perfect for families and groups.

Rose Cottage is a fully renovated four-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday home (with an additional two WCs) set in a tranquil rural environment. Renovated in 2019, it blends modern comfort with country charm — the perfect base to gather with family and friends for a weekend escape while exploring Martinborough, Greytown, and the stunning South Wairarapa coast.

Designed with groups in mind, the cottage comfortably suits up to three couples plus children, or four couples. Inside, you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen and Weber BBQ for shared meals, along with plenty of entertainment for all ages: a summer swimming pool (Labour Weekend to Easter), trampoline, playhouse, foosball, table tennis, an attic play area, and plenty of space outdoors to roam and explore the orchard.

The entire house, garden, and pool (summer months) are yours to enjoy, offering great views, peaceful sunsets, and true country quiet. Entry is via lockbox, and we’re always just a phone call away if you need us during your stay.

To keep you comfy in summer, fans are provided throughout the house. In winter, we recommend enjoying the cozy atmosphere from the wood burner, or opt to use the electric heaters spread throughout the house.

While the property feels wonderfully private, it shares a driveway with two other houses — the closest about 150m and two gardens away. A car is recommended for exploring the region’s highlights, from vineyards to boutique shops to coastal walks.

Pricing is based on the first four guests, with additional charges for extra people.

Being in the country brings its own adventures, and we ask that children are supervised, especially near the frog pond or the stock trough in the neighbouring paddock. Well behaved pets are welcome, meaning you can bring all the family - but that there may be farm stock nearby and the house is fenced to keep stock out, not dogs in.

Rose Cottage is a place for relaxation and reconnection. We have a strict no-parties policy and do not host bachelor/bachelorette/hens-style events.
