Private countryside retreat with outdoor spa, river access and orchard

Escape to Eirene Retreat, a private French-inspired villa set in the peaceful Akatarawa Valley, surrounded by native bush and open land.

Unwind in the outdoor spa pool under clear starry skies, or start your day slowly with coffee in your own private courtyard. Wander the orchard, feed the sheep, or follow the path down to your privately accessed stretch of the Akatarawa River.

Designed for privacy and relaxation, the villa offers a calm, self-contained space to switch off and recharge.

Secluded, yet only a short drive to Upper Hutt, with Martinborough wineries within easy reach.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
