The location is great and it is lovely to find a place that allows pets to stay. The fire was excellent and kept the cabin lovely and warm. Lovely pool but we didn't make use of it due to the weather.Unfortunately, this place was let down by the cleaning. It was OK, but needed a good vacuum and the bathroom bin had not been emptied. There were a few other smaller issues that were easily fixed.
Everything was as advertised.The Bach is small, but our family of 5 managed just fine, the kids loved the bunk room, and being away from us.Downside was the way the place is set up with furniture. It would be fantastic if the single bed in the main cabin was actually a sofa bed, as it's not really that comfortable to sit on in the evenings.The kitchen has a weird old dresser as a pantry, shelves would be better, and the huge dresser in the bedroom is just to big, a low boy would be an improvement.But also, I'm being quite picky, and would definitely stay there again
Close to Clareville Cafe for lunch, Masterton Saturday market, Wairarapa south coast adventures & Greytown shopping (including top Butcher). And home base citrus trees. Teenagers (& Adults) loved the pool
A relaxing vibe. It was hot so a lot of time was spent in the pool. The kids were easy to watch, and didnât want to go anywhere else. The dog loved it. The supermarket was close and the BBQ was used each night. The wisteria provided shade and the stars were glorious. 5/5 from us. Thanks for sharing your magical place - much appreciated
Upon arrival the property was tidy. The cabin was very cluttered and wasnât inviting. The cottage is very well equipped although very cluttered. The main bedroom was very cramped with a large dresser taking up the space where suitcases could have been placed. There was random food left in the fridge. The bonus was the fireplace. Fire starters were available but no kindling. It took a bit to get the fire started but it worked well. Easy walk into the township. Many great places to eat. The food we all had was incredible. We ate at The white swan twice.
Iâd imagine in summer the pool area would be great.
Iâd rate the property suitable for couples, more so than families.
Was lovely. Took a while to find Humphries road . Not sign posted off main road. Service station on corner would have helped with street. Its a beautiful little cabin. Thanku so much
Wonderful for a short summer stay. Our 6 year old loved the pool as did we on the 29 degree and very humid day - also appreciated the fans! We didnât realise there was no linen or towels provided but the host did inform us of this before we arrived so we were able to arrange some from friendsâŠvisiting from Melbourne and loved our short stay.
We had the best time ever. The pool was a godsend in the heat wave and the kids had a blast. We were sad to depart. The fresh plums were also divine! Definitely coming back.
We stayed for 3 months while our own property was being renovated. It's down a right of way with a big garden (with lemon and mandarin trees) and is quiet and safe for children and pets. It is very cosy on cooler days with its log burner. We didn't get to use the pool, but it was serviced regularly while we were there, and the water was warming up nicely as we were leaving. Communication with our host was excellent. We loved this cute little place and highly recommend it.
A great location. Tidy property. Would have been nice to have some kindling to get fire started easily. Was cosy once we had it going. Was a bit muddy - some pavers between the house and cabin would be good. Thanks
Loved this little cottage! Great feel inside - plenty of character, warm and snuggly. Appreciated there being a couple of board games too as we'd forgotten to bring any. Perfect space for the dog outside - back section, well fenced and lots of space. Loved seeing the productive trees and plants all around too.
Big thank you.
Fabulous and cute cottage tucked down a right of way in beautiful Greytown. The bed was soooo comfy and I enjoyed the little log burner on the cold nights. I didn't partake of the pool - a bit chilly in mid winter but I could imagine the outdoor being amazing in summer. Everything you need and more. I loved the rustic decor. 15 minutes walk into the Winter Festival. Perfect quiet spot. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area.
