A great place to relax

This is a fantastic bolt hole where you can get away and relax, it's cosy and private. Being close to Greytown it is a good base for exploring the Wairarapa.Cooking is simple, on a BBQ, we loved it.Tom was always available if we needed him, otherwise we were left alone to enjoy the space.See you next year Tom.

Great stay in a beautiful location

Tom was so welcoming, he even let us hold one of his chickens! The house is beautiful and lived all the small touches like breakfast foods, butter and milk. We loved hanging out by the pool and chatting with Tom. Highly recommend this place for a weekend away!

Warm and comfortable relaxing place to stay

Fantastic place to stay. Thanks Tom for lighting the fire for us and making it toasty and warm to settle into. Lovely place to stay, comfortable bed and seating, great shower pressure, lovely outlook and private setting. Delightful to have breakfast out in the sun looking across the fields and watching the bird life. Nice and close for Wairarapa mini adventures and dinners. Thanks for a great place to relax and get away into the countryside.

Country sanctuary

Spent two nights as Tom’s guests in the Drovers cottage. Tom gave us a brief history of the place as we checked in. We had everything we needed and enjoyed waking up to bird calls and sheep in the pasture.

Short stay

The property was better in real life than in pictures. Beautiful little cottage with all the amenities and hospitality to go along with it. Loved every moment of our stay with Tom. A gorgeous host would highly recommend and we will be going back to stay there again when we go back to NZ. We miss our cow wakeup in the morning..

Best holiday in along time

This property is a real back to basics. We've been to lovely hotels and B&Bs but this stay gave us the true rest we were looking for. We were met by Tom, who is a true gentleman, he showed us around and had baked fresh bread for us with butter, milk and breakfast waiting. No oven or cooktop but the bbq was adequate. Chooks visited each day and the paddocks, with the cows in, were only metres from the French doors. Not for everyone but it rejuvenated our souls. We are going back to stay again. adequate

Cosy and comfortable

Lovely and warm with a great supply of fire wood. Fresh home made bread on arrival and great selection of teas. Tom and Penny are great hosts and the historic cottage is very comfortable and quiet. Loved waking up to magpies and seeing a wonderful night sky. Very handy to Greytown and Martinborough and there’s a lovely spot by the river at the end of the road.

Relaxing

What a delightful cottage in a peaceful setting. It was so cosy and welcoming with the fire roaring when we arrived. So quiet and dark at night, which is a must for me. Tom is the perfect host. I'll be back to learn more about the history of the old hotel. Thank you for the breakfast goodies.
