About this country house rental

This rustic little 1800's cottage is set on an 1800 acre sheep and beef station in the Hinakura Valley, 25 minutes drive from Martinborough.

With no cell phone reception and limited wifi, it is the perfect place to enjoy quality time with each other. Linen and towels are provided so all you need to bring is your food.

There is an unmarked lawn tennis court, great sandpit for the kids and outdoor games. Guests are welcome to enjoy a walk on the farm, where there are animals to feed especially around springtime. The river is nice and close complete with a lovely swimming hole and the rugged coast line is only a 20 min drive down the road. There are also horse treks 40 mins away. If the weather isn't great there are board games available and sky tv to watch.

There is also seasonal fruit available, and our water is sourced from a natural spring.

We also offer guided hunts for both wild pigs and deer. Please enquire for more details.

We also have Aotea Homestead which sleeps 11. Please see our other listing.

A simple farm cottage, but clean and tidy. Lovely towels:) Owners friendly and kind. Greeted on arrival by a cow! Lovely country view and sounds from the verandah.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
Really enjoyed the get away & chance to just rest & do nothing. Loved the country surroundings, sheep, & peace & quiet. The accomodation has everything your need. I mistakenly thought there was limited internet coverage which was not right. Must have read it in someone's erroneous comments online. We really wanted to be contactable for emergencies (real ones) if our kids at home needed to contact us. Given how remote the location is (25 minutes from cell / internet) that was a negative & threatened to prevent us from returning despite how much we liked the place. But on the last day I figured out that we could use my iPhone's Satelite coverage to send & receive standard txt messages. So on that basis we'll be able to return :-)

The cottage is cute and beautifully peaceful, but could do with a really good clean (including verandah area). Bedding was clean and towels were lovely.
