High Country cottage rentals

This cottage is totally divine. Beautiful fittings, beds and views. So close to the wonderful shops and restaurants. I would have no hesitation in recommending it or coming back.

Thank you Helen and Andrew for meeting us and having a chat. Helen also showed us around the property and suggested a walking trail, which we did the following day and had a great view. We are 2 sisters who go for a short break for each other’s birthday. The cottage has 2 bedrooms and was definitely value for money. Well maintained, spotlessly clean and with a fresh bathroom, the cottage had everything we needed. The comfortable beds and soft, cosy sheets deserve an extra mention! Secluded and peaceful location was just what we wanted and we went gold panning in the river beside the property. The visitors’ book showed just how popular this cottage is!

Wairere Rest is a really special property and a perfect place for some time away. The cottage is larger than we expected and has everything you could possibly need. The gardens and property were stunning and there's so many great food and wine options in the area. Even a 5-star rating doesn't seem high enough for Wairere Rest and we hope to return at some point in the future.

Just as listed.We loved being so central

Lovely short stay in Harrietville while passing through. Nice and cool location among the trees, well-equipped, comfortable, clean and peaceful.

Excellent clean and today everything as expected communication was brilliant wish I had something to complain about but was so good

Left the car and walked everywhere . Beautiful atmosphere to sit on the veranda in the peace and quiet not looking onto anyone and yet so close to everything. Lots of windows to capture the essence of our location. Lovely to watch everyone walking or riding bikes to get around. Couldn’t recommend it anymore highly.

Our second year of staying at this beautiful relaxing property, with a third year now booked. Beautiful and extensive gardens, perfectly placed near the heart of bright, and a particularly well equipped kitchen to allow you to indulge your culinary skills. The only missing ingredient to this property is Wi-Fi.
