About the host
Hosted by NicoleHe6
Hi, We've been enjoying this beautiful spot between Carterton and Greytown for about 10 years. We've got 4 boys, and a farm of sheep and beef which keeps us busy. We've travelled quite a bit overseas and in New Zealand but love to return to our peaceful spot with rural views.
Why they chose this property
We built this cottage for family to visit and decided to open it up to other visitors for them to enjoy what we see every day-mountains, paddocks, our animals, and open spaces. Our place has is on a working farm but close to the town.
What makes this property unique
Rural views to the Tarauas and Eastern Hills, on a farm. At times visitors can help with animals or farm activities. The swimming pool is great to cool off after a hot Wairarapa day.
