Quirky and cosy place, great in all conditions. We had sunny times with great views of the mountains, and rainy days when the fire was perfect company. It's close enough to things you'd want to do - we used Masterton for supplies and went as far as Martinborough and Castlepoint. But it's secluded enough to feel like you're away from it all - we did a lot of reading and drinking tea. The setup has some peculiar aspects, but you get used to them pretty quickly, and they become endearing. They're not kidding about the driveway, fine with any 4/AWD but you won't get your Suzuki Swift rental car up there. Highly recommended for a few days. Seems like it would be best in spring/autumn.

Everything about this property was wonderful! The facilities are very well equipped and maintained. The location couldn't be more perfect - quiet and peaceful. The views from the wrap-around balcony are stunning. We loved seeing the sheep, cattle, rabbits, birds. Maggie and David were wonderful hosts and were great to communicate with. I would very highly recommend this cottage!

What a marvelous place to stay. We stayed 2 nights and could have done longer.Our only neighbours were some sheep . The hut was just amazing and the time and thought put into is just wonderful. Our dogs were fine and there is a nice wee walk you can take them on and a seat at the end to sit and watch the birds fly by lol.The views were absolutely amazing!!!.I cant wait to go back.Thank you Maggie and Dave for such a lovely, thought out little place of heaven.

Weekend get away

Beaut spot and friendly helpful hosts. I will be keen to go back. Nice proximity to the Swiss log cabin down the road for pizza. Five mins up the road to the Holdsworth Tararuas entrance, so great for day walks.

Serene and secluded

Just a fantastic small place to get away and take in the countryside a little bit. Mount Holdsworth is a quick 5 minute drive away for some great bush walks, and the gentle bleating of the nearby sheep in the afternoon was strangely mesmerizing. Great place, would go there again.

Such a lovely little house

I had such a lovely stay here with my dog. We travelled to do some walking in Mt Holdsworth and this little house was perfect. It was very private, had everything I could need, and the bed was sooo comfy. My dog had her own space outside so I didn’t need to worry about her overnight. Such a lovely stay - thank you :)

Blissful get away

Extremely welcoming, gorgeous, secluded spot for the perfect getaway with our red heeler. Close to trails, large grassy area and loved the layout. I have fallen in love with this place and will definitely be back. And next time over a Friday so I can try the pizza nearby.

Super special cottage and outlook

A well-loved and quirky cottage with stunning views and lots of unexpected extras. The gated verandah let the dogs relax with us easily.Definitely a steep drive up - hence the 4WD, but well worth the effort. Will definitely be back.

Relaxing and private getaway

An ideal location for couples to get away for the weekend (or longer!) Privacy is unparalleled. The property was very clean and tidy. We enjoyed the 4WD adventure to get up the hill, as well as the open air bathroom and kitchen. Beautiful views from the balcony of the Tararua ranges. Thanks for an unforgettable stay!

Peaceful getaway

Amazing cottage tucked away from the world. Getting back to nature is how my partner describes it. The native sounds, mixed with the falling rain and the fire burning was a step back in time. Will visit again. Cabin is cosy and loved the outdoor facilities

Perfect rural weekend away

We had a wonderful long weekend stay at the Far Pavillion. David and all the family were very welcoming checking us in and gave us plenty of privacy. The property and surroundings are beautiful with everything you need provided. We loved the clear night skies, cosy wood burner and sitting out on the deck for breakfast and afternoon aperitifs! We would love to come back again and highly recommend this property.
