1 Bedroom Cottage in Opaki, Masterton

Experience the romance of life a hundred years ago in our little pioneer cottage.
Just 8km from Masterton, the cottage sits overlooking our private lagoon and the workings of our sheep and beef farm. In summer the lagoon dries up but there are still the 360 degree views of the mountains, hills and Wairarapa plains.
Built entirely of recycled materials the cottage is now home to many precious heirlooms gifted by family and friends, beginning with its beautiful stain glass front door.
No television or microwave but you have the convenience of a gas hob and lanterns.
The cottage is very cosy and warmed in winter by a little pot belly. The flush loo and the bath under the stars are both one step off the deck.
The icebox will cool your wine for a drink on the verandah and if you don't wish to cook dinner on your night away then it's a short drive into town where there is a rich array of restaurants.
Upon deposit I will email you an information sheet with driving directions.
Two night stays are preferred.

Summary: Great character with a warm aesthetic. A lovely mix of amenity (hot water for the tub is sweet-as!) and rustic. The historic/heirloom elements are great. My compliments to your granddaughter on her pencil drawing of the cabin :-). Will be back.

Summary: This is our new fave - Shona, thanks so much for having us. We had a wonderful time: the house had everything you need to slow down and take a breather - no power points, an outside bath, a ripper wee pot-belly stove, and views for miles. Oh, and an old-school icebox, and flush loo! It's a beautiful little house, made with such care and creativity. It felt like a privilege to be there. We'll be back. Thanks

Summary: Lovely little cabin with outside loo and bath (no shower) and not a three pin plug in sight. Exactly what we wanted. Private, quiet, beautifully decorated with a great little wood burner for winter nights. Leave your phone and laptop at home and bring books. Loved it.
