A beautiful property and a great location. We really appreciated the hosts allowing our kids to feed the animals and have a swim in the pool. The accommodation was lovely and comfy with everything we needed. We'd love to sray again.

Lovely farm stay in the Waiarapa

Gorgeous views all around at this peaceful farm stay in the heart of the Waiarapa. Modern clean self contained guest house with nice touches from the flowers outside to the freshly baked bread and eggs left by our hostess and the small but good selection of books left for guests to read. In spring, we visited and cuddled adorable new lambs and calves. My daughter loved it, as did I and my husband. A great escape from the city and convenient to the event we attended in a nearby town. Would definitely come back.

Wonderful 2 night base

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.

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.
