About this property

Borders Retreat, Cosy Character Cottage Greytown

There are three bedrooms to choose from, the sumptuous mezzanine bedroom, the sunny garden bedroom with french doors out to the garden or the twin bedroom with two single beds. The downstairs bedrooms can be closed off from the rest of the house, leaving the mezzanine bedroom perfectly cosy in the winter with the logburner going.

The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, separate dining area and is just a five minute stroll from the gorgeous cafes, restaurants and designer clothes shops in the town and just around the corner from the supermarket. We are also just a ten minute walk from the new rail trail, which is a lovely walk/biking track for families. We are just a few minutes drive or 15 minute walk from the swimming pool and family play park and a five minute drive from the river.

Lovely cottage
Excellent property - well equipped cottage with a rustic look and feel. Very good breakfast provisions. Sandra is an excellent host - very quick to respond to emails and had the log fire burning and supplied very tasty homemade lemon cake for us on arrival. Greytown is a great location for exploring the Wairarapa region. Cannot fault our time here and would definitely stay at Borders Retreat again if in the area.

We've stayed here a couple of times now and its great. Host is a delight. All the little touches; chocolates, the fresh cake, fresh eggs and in winter dry firewood! Only place we will stay when visiting Greytown.
