About this property
The Alchemist Retreat, a private Studio in Carterton
Welcome to the Alchemist Retreat, a sunny and spacious, uniquely modern, self-contained studio nestled privately in our back garden, with its own limestone meandering pathway entrance. The studio is a separate dwelling from the hosts house with its own access onto a large deck within the garden and mature trees.
The Alchemist Retreat is an ideal getaway for couples looking for style and panache, in addition to peace and tranquility. Located just a 3 minute walk from the Carterton railway station, you have easy access to the town centre and short drive to Greytown, Martinborough and the rest of the wonderful Wairarapa.
Enjoy the unlimited WiFi to stream your favourite shows to watch on your own device. Listen to music on the Bose speaker or the Bluetooth turntable with a small collection of nostalgic vinyl. For those traveler's who don't plan on spending vacation time cooking, choose from the many boutique restaurants, cafes and eateries in and about the local towns, otherwise the kitchenette has a multi-functional microwave oven for heating up your meal or delicacies you have just purchased.
Accessed by a lock code, the studio has WiFi, a stylish bathroom, super comfortable and cosy double bed with quality linen, a kitchenette equipped with an under bench fridge, toaster, kettle, conserves with teas and plunger coffee.
…Did I mention about wine! … the whole region has some of the countries best wineries to visit and purchase.
Sit back with a glass on the deck, watch the sun go down, then marvel at the magical night sky, listen to music and reflect on your day exploring the region.
