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 electricity, 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.

Smoking allowed outside only.

Summary: Checked in quite late so got a bit lost (and stuck) but Shona came promptly when I asked for help.Got a few surprises like stepping on sheep manure when I arrived, and a large white tail spider hiding on the bed.But made the cottage nice & toasty with the fireplace and cooked some dinner on the stove on top which was amazing (although a bit dusty).Outdoor bath was nice, however bath was a bit rusty and hot water was slow but Shona let me check out a bit later.If a few improvements were made, I may consider coming back again.
