About this property
Wairarapa Rural Retreat, 5 minutes from town.
Recharge in your own private countryside retreat, just five minutes from Masterton’s town centre.
Whether you’re seeking a rural retreat, a cosy base for exploring the region, a stopover to recharge your body (and vehicle), or simply a restful escape close to amenities, this space offers the best of both worlds; tranquillity and convenience.
Step into a full kitchen, perfect for slow mornings and home‑cooked meals, then wander out to the balcony to enjoy sweeping farmland views, birdsong, and golden Wairarapa light. The spacious layout with separate queen-sized bedroom offers space to unpack, unwind and make yourself at home.
This warm, private and thoughtfully styled upstairs apartment sits above our family home but is fully self‑contained with its own private entrance, giving you complete privacy and freedom during your stay.
Well behaved dogs are welcome in the apartment and the grassy driveway, making it an ideal escape for travellers wanting to bring their four‑legged companions along.
An EV charger is available upon request for and additional small fee, making it the perfect stopover location on your way.
