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!

Cute cottage, basic 'vintage' decor, spacious for one bedroom. Warm and cozy with the fire. No cooking facilities apart from microwave (and summer bbq) but fine for our two nights. Could be a few more basics, eg kitchen cloths, bowls etc. Shower just a dribble. Otherwise fine for a weekend getaway, quiet and clean.

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.

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.

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.
