About this property
The Glade - John Barron Retreat - Hot Tub & Sauna
The Glade invites you to slow down and settle into something simple, warm, and thoughtfully considered.
♨️ Sauna and Hot Tub 🔥 Fire pit area 💪 Gym Available 🍷 Minutes from Wineries 🌌 Wairarapa Dark Sky region
Step inside and enjoy the fresh Cape Cod-inspired interior, where soft light fills the space and every detail has been carefully finished. It’s light, bright, and quietly refined, a gentle contrast to the rustic timber cabin exterior.
Wake slowly in the queen bed, then ease into your morning at the small breakfast table with coffee in hand. Spend unhurried moments curled into the occasional chairs, taking in the view through the wide sliding doors as the landscape shifts with the day.
The kitchenette offers everything you need for a simple, easy stay. Perfect for preparing breakfast, a platter, or a relaxed bite to eat. With a toaster oven, coffee machine, kettle, and mini fridge, it’s designed for light meals rather than full cooking.
Slide open the barn door to a spacious, modern bathroom, where a generous shower offers a calm and refreshing start or end to your day.
your front porch becomes a natural extension of the space. Sit with a drink, spark up the BBQ, and take in the stillness around you.
