About this property
Taraview Cottage - Fully self contained
Great central location when exploring the Wairarapa. Taraview is situated in a rural setting with fabulous view of the Tararua ranges 2kms from Greytown and a 10 minute drive to Martinborough Romantic place to stay for couples as it has a huge claw foot bath big enough for 2 and yet also great place to stay for a couple with kids and a dog with half an acre of private fully fenced land to run about on. Kept warm in the winter months with a log burner.
Dogs are welcome just bring something for them to sleep on and we ask you please do not leave them unattended at the cottage unless crated.

We loved our time at Taraview cottage over Easter. It was such a relaxing break with beautiful surroundings and lots of thoughtful touches from the hosts - thank you so much!
We had a great stay. The most dog friendly place yet. We will be back.

Lovely cottage. Looks old but isnt: thus well insulated, warm and plenty of power points. Comfortable beds. Lovely gardens and super fireplace with plenty of wood.
A great place to relax, the property had everything we needed. The cottage is well located in a great garden setting surrounded by fields (& associated livestock!). We enjoyed our mini break and would be happy to stay here again.
Lovely batch with great attention to detail. Super clean and the fenced property was great for our dogs. Super great communication with the host. Can highly recommend the place. Perfect place for a stay around Martinborough. Thanks heaps for having us. The fireplace and the dog treats were an extra bonus and greatly appreciated.
We stayed at this cottage 24 years ago after our Church Wedding in New Zealand. We returned to celebrate our 25th anniversary ( we had a civil Wedding a year earlier in the Philippines.) Our stay this time brought back many memories. We are planning to return in 5 years for our 30th anniversary!
We had a wonderful winter getaway, it was freezing outside, but we loved staying in by the fire with everything we needed to enjoy being inside for the weekend.
We had a wonderful stay at Taraview cottage! This was our second time staying here and we loved it just as much! Clean and tidy and cosey. Wonderful to have the fireplace when temperatures dipped. The beautiful garden is a lovely spot to escape the busyness of life. Our little dog really loved exploring also! Thank you for the little extras like the arrival chocolate bars and treats for our dog. The flower arrangements inside the house were just stunning! Very close and handy to Greytown and Fresh Choice for supplies. Also close to explore Martinborough. Jeannie is great to deal with also.
This was a wonderful place to disconnect from the spinning, racous world and connect with calming nature. The gardens are wonderful and great to walk amongst. Our host was aware that we might be a bit cold because of the temperature (the Kiwi summer had disappeared). The wood shed was found and a warm fire was built.
The cottage had a lovely characterful vibe but with all the comforts of a modern building. The garden was gorgeous and we were able to sit out under the fruit trees for meals. Loved the high ceiling in the lounge with mezzanine floor. Friendly helpful hosts, with extra welcoming touches when we arrived, such as home baked treats for the dog. Perfect for our family Christmas, thank you!
We absolutely loved thw property the gardenAs and the whole look of the place. Found it very welcoming and warm. Loved it and will hopefully stay again.
