Very comfortable. Had everything we needed.The studio we were in had a log fire which was great on a cold windy night. The only downside was the chimney rattled loudly in the wind.

A cottage of one's own. A fire to light in winter evenings. Excellent breakfast supplies provided. Couches could be a bit more comfortable but we love visiting here in summer and winter. Spa treatments also amazing.

Spa is amazing, had a lovely treatment. The cottages are great, spacious for families and they take dogs! (we didn’t bring ours this time). The decor is a bit dated and the larger sofa in our cottage had died (springs broken) so should be replaced. Beds were super comfy, softer than you tend to find. It’d be nice if the daily cleaning crew could empty bins and maybe make the beds. Awesome to have breakfast stuff supplied, fresh eggs, apple juice, proper coffee and sourdough. Not sure if it’s more expensive in summer but we thought it was bargain compared to other Wairarapa options we could find. We’ll be back for sure!

Very relaxing stay, not many guests so it was very quiet. The continental breakfast with eggs was a pleasant surprise. Unit was warm and having a fire was a nice bonus. We’ll be back at some stage.
