About this property

Country Bliss Historic Greytown Cottage

Country Bliss Cottage is an original historic Greytown cottage, with origins dating back to the 1880s. Lovingly cared for, the cottage retains its authentic character and charm while offering the modern comforts today’s travellers appreciate.

Set within a private, sunny garden, the cottage is a peaceful retreat . Mature fruit trees and traditional cottage garden flowers create a relaxed, timeless atmosphere — perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the Wairarapa.

Inside, the décor is a thoughtful blend of vintage and contemporary, with quality furnishings throughout. In winter, the roaring log fire (with all firewood supplied) creates a wonderfully cosy escape, making Country Bliss an inviting place to stay in every season.

Although wonderfully quiet and private, the cottage is just an easy walk to Greytown’s cafés, restaurants and boutique shops, offering the best of both worlds.

This was my second stay here and we had a lovely time. The cottage is delightful and very close to the Woodside Rail Trail for an enjoyable walk. You can walk into town or to the supermarket within 15 minutes. The cottage is clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the cosy fire on cool nights. I highly recommend this place for a weekend away.
