About this property
Waihakeke-a rural getaway so close to town
Waihakeke Cottage, located on a small farm, is for those looking for stand alone modern accommodation away from town.
During these times of potential Covid-19 risk we will be doing extra cleaning., and we'll be asking anyone who is unwell to think about coming to stay at a later date.
Our cottage was built in late 2015, and while adjacent to the main house, is private with fantastic rural views over farmland and towards the Tararua Range and Eastern Hills. Clean, and modern with double glazing for warmth in Winter; cool in Summer.
The swimming pool is available for our guests(seasonal). We've got lambs and calves in Spring, sometimes pigs, ducks and chickens. And always our 2 friendly labradors.
A short 5 minute drive to fabulous shops and cafes in Greytown and Carterton, and 20 minutes to Martinborough. Go walking in the Tararuas, sample wines in Gladstone or Martinborough, bike on the rail trail in Greytown or on the country roads. Plenty to do or just relax taking in the views.
We offer complimentary tea/coffee(Nespresso machine), some fresh home baking and eggs from our chickens.
Special conditions:
Ask about buying a dozen eggs from our chickens to take home-$5 a dozen subject to the chickens laying!!
No smoking inside
Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

About the host
Hosted by NicoleHe6
Hi, We've been enjoying this beautiful spot between Carterton and Greytown for about 10 years. We've got 4 boys, and a farm of sheep and beef which keeps us busy. We've travelled quite a bit overseas and in New Zealand but love to return to our peaceful spot with rural views.
Why they chose this property
We built this cottage for family to visit and decided to open it up to other visitors for them to enjoy what we see every day-mountains, paddocks, our animals, and open spaces. Our place has is on a working farm but close to the town.
What makes this property unique
Rural views to the Tarauas and Eastern Hills, on a farm. At times visitors can help with animals or farm activities. The swimming pool is great to cool off after a hot Wairarapa day.
