Totara On Moroa, Tauwharenikau

Situated conveniently between Featherston (5 mins) Greytown (8mins) and Martinborough (14 mins) you can take your pick of the best Wairarapa has to offer. Whether you're enjoying a coffee in the morning sun or cozying up with the log fire burning the Totara on Moroa is a fantastic place to base yourself. Enjoy Wairarapa's dark sky reserve the right way with the outdoor baths. Because the house is on a rainwater supply with a single tank, be aware of how much water you use. There is enough hot water for two baths because the house is heated by a hot water cylinder, but eventually it can run out until more can be heated!

Greytown honey and gorgeous flower farm is 1 minute up the road with Wicked Secret homewares along further. Take in the country scenery, relax at Lake Reserve (9 mins) even take a dip in the river after exploring the Tauherenikau racecourse 2 minutes up the road.
The house is set up for groups, couples or families to stay
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

We enjoyed our stay.

The oven had an oven tray and grill covered in fat from a previous user. Great hot water and pressure. There wasn’t enough hanging facilities for clothing. Almost all of the wardrobes and the pantry are locked closed. Yes the fridge door opening is annoying. The heat pump was excellent. Tv remote needs new batteries.

Excellent, but....

We had a happy time at Totara. The property is very up-to-date with a really comfortable and attractive living area, interesting art and everything (almost) that we required for our two-day stay while attending a family wedding. I thank you for the experience. There are suggestions for a few matters that could improve the stay:Directions: The Tin Hut has gone - there's a new business in the building. it would help to change that in your directions. you say 'not long after the Tin Hut' should be specific - we went sailing past the first time. It would help to know ahead that Moroa Rd is gravel ahead of Totara. The 1st driveway after Line 1 was hard to see with the long grasses.The house: We found the lock box difficult because it is so very low down and shaded by the steps so a torch was needed, and the crouching down only comfortable for our young agile people.Inside: I am sure you know the frig doors are on the wrong side, causing banged knuckles or a high or low reach to get into the frig. A coffee plunger would have been nice.The lighting is harsh. one or two wall lights would be more comfortable at night. The same for the bedrooms (although the main bedroom lighting system was absolutely fine). No single chairs in the bedrooms for sitting on to do up shoes etc. The only way to hang clothes (eg wedding finery etc) was the rack in the main bedroom:). Thank you for a very pleasant stay.
