Rustic little farm stay

Perfect little get away for 2 couples and our pooch. Comfortable beds, new shower (with great water pressure!) and plenty of drenched space outside for our doggo to run around. I particularly likes the retro furniture and quite. I also enjoyed the very limited cell reception, so was fab to unplug and play board games and cards. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Amore and Jess for a great stay x

Comfortable and cosy in a lovely peaceful rural setting

The cottage was perfect. Clean and comfortable with everything we needed, Great wood burner provided instant heat, comfortable beds, good hot shower. In a lovely sunny spot surrounded by bird song and delightful calves (I recommend a Spring visit!). Great fenced in section so our 2 dogs could enjoy the outside without supervision. Just far enough out of town to feel like you're in the country but only half an hour to the local towns and attractions. We had the best ever 3 nights and wished we'd stayed longer!

Super accommodating hosts with very cosy, quiet cottage

We recently stayed in this wee cottage for three months after selling our house and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better place to call home during this transition time. The cottage is super cosy with its large wood burner, well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The setting is quiet and peaceful and really feels like an escape from the rest of the busy world. Thank you so so much for your kind hospitality!

An outstanding South Wairarapa stay

This is a stunning rural location and the hospitality was exceptional. The house is gorgeous, clean and cozy with everything we needed. The bottle of wine waiting in the firdge was a nice touch. Top notch - side of the lake is a well-kept secret and long may it stay that way! Except - go there. It's worth it.
