This was an accessible property close to main road, but peaceful and very well provisioned. We enjoyed using this place as a base for visiting local Wairarapa towns.

The best hostess! She left us fresh bread and cookies as well as farm fresh eggs! the area was beautiful with sheep pastures all around. the cottage was clean and everything updated! Wonderful stay!
Serenity is the perfect description for the lovely home to stay in. We were greeted by a gorgeous four legged girl with a red band gumboot as a welcome gift. Meeting the owner was like meeting a old family member. Having the home baked bread, fresh eggs, and homemade jam along with Tea Leaf tea was a winner. Its a great place to stay, we are coming back.
The accommodation was brilliant and Nicole was super friendly and providing fresh bread and baking was an unexpected but hugely welcome bonus. My youngest loved the cows too!
We had a lovely weekend at this property. Very peaceful and quiet and not far if you want to escape Wellington. Nicole is a great host and very accommodating. Will definitely return.
What a lovely place and hosts. The home made bread and biscuits were so yummy yummy and the freshly laid eggs for breakfast were wonderful. We stay again 😊
We enjoyed this farm experience, with all the comforts of home, beautiful rural scenery, peaceful and quiet, with a lovely welcome of fresh bread, farm eggs and home-made biscuits.
Nice property, and good location between Greytown and Carterton, with peaceful views of sheep in the paddocks, and of hills beyond. Set back from SH2, so easy to find, but not noisy. Lovely friendly family hosting, and fresh home baking and eggs were a real treat. Kids enjoyed the books, board games, and fort in the garden 😀
We really enjoyed our stay. The lovely hosts greeted us, gave us fresh bread, cookies and milk. The house was well set up for families and the kids loved the toys and pool! The beds were comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the friendly labradors and looking out to see the cows and farmland
Nicole and Dr. Dave were fabulous hosts. Fresh farm eggs and homemade bread and biscuits = fantastic.
The swimming pool was incredible. Fabulously maintained.
Nicole is a great host. Lovely fresh bread and eggs provided as well as homemade biscuits! Property ticks all the boxes. Beds were comfortable & everything supplied that we needed. Swimming pool was welcome on a hot afternoon. Dogs were lovely and added to the charm.
We had a lovely weekend at this property - the hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and the cottage was clean, warm and modern. The (still warm) homemade bread and biscuits were a treat. Our 6 year son absolutely loved the sweet animals, and being able to bottle-feed a tiny lamb was very special!

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.
