Pukeatua Cabin

Experience the ultimate off-grid getaway in our rustic solar-powered cabin. Nestled amongst native forest, swimming holes and walking tracks. The cabin is located 15-20 minutes drive from Waikanae and is over a stream so can only be accessed by foot, a five-minute walk across the swing bridge. Powered by solar panels, gas hot water, a wood fire, a small gas cooker and a Webber bbq for cooking. You’ll have the 22 acre regenerating ex forestry block all to yourself. @pukeatuacabin on ig for more.

The Den

Set in the bush birdsong will be your friend. Local birdlife includes Tūī, Kererū, Fantail, Woodpecker, Ruru and occasionally kiwi. Walk to bush tracks within minutes, a safe beach in 7 minutes or a short drive around the bays to cafes and more beaches. Take the ferry across to Mātiu/Somes Island, or into Queens Wharf for some city action. Access to Wellington city is a 20 minute drive, a bus, train or ferry ride away. Kitesurfing, mountain biking, windsurfing and surfing all on your doorstep.

Beach Cabin - Kowhai Landing

Summer or winter, sunny Kowhai Landing is the perfect couples retreat. Romantic, private, and oh-so-close to the beach - you'll leave this place rejuvenated and relaxed. A classic Kiwi cabin in a town that still feels like the beach places of old, this small but practical layout has a kitchenette and ensuite. In addition, there is a large private BBQ deck, hot outdoor shower, and bath. With no wifi or TV, this is a place to get away from it all. Powered Caravan site by appointment only.

Time out in our castle turret

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. This wee slice of paradise is about 10 minutes walk from our home on a 6 acre lifestyle block. We saved three ‘turrets’ from a local castle and have created a space away from the trappings of modern life (including electricity and cell coverage!) and our creek amongst our sheep, chickens and ducks. This space is ideal for two with a double bed, gas cooking as well as a pot belly stove and a seperate camping style bathroom.

Rustic Woodman's cottage

Basic and rustic with a twist of awesome, just 900m from Carterton central. Built in 2019 this cosy, insulated and double glazed cottage has a queen bed and a small veranda to relax on. Basic facilities include a composting toilet and solar lighting. There is no electricity or cooking facilities. Full bathroom available on request. Situated on 4.5 acres, park at the main house and walk 100m. Enjoy the views east, wander through the developing gardens or head out to explore.

A Cabin with a View, peace and comfort

The 12 acres private and homely lifestyle property is home to your cabin and has a stunning view. It is a mere 7 km from Martinborough village square. Your drive to the property will take you past vineyards, and on arrival you will be welcomed by views of lake Wairarapa and the Tararua Ranges. The house is sensibly laid out with decks on either side to maximize outdoor flow. It has a large lawn, a picnic area and native tree plantings which are home to many birds.

Millwood Studio

Enjoy our self-contained studio, set in a quiet garden, bordered by a gently flowing stream and native bush. Millwood Studio is set in the grounds of a Category One heritage property in the centre of leafy Ngaio. Close to neighbourhood shops and café. Three minutes walk to train station. Easy access to Wellington CBD by train, bus or car. 10 minute drive to Interislander and Bluebridge ferry terminals. Located on Te Araroa Trail.

'Funky Retro Caboose'

The little Caboose, 9 sqm, and kitchen/bathroom, 5 sqm, on our property are a much loved get-away surrounded by native vegetation. Idyllic, but also quite rustic: you have to cross the deck to the bathroom (amazing shower!) and kitchen, whatever the weather.🙂  I teach cello and you may hear this at times, as well as plenty of birds. A 5 min stroll to Queen Elisabeth Park and the beach. Private gate and on-street-parking.

The Hut

The hut is a beautifully crafted off the grid cabin located located on a sheep and beef farm, Daisybank, just minutes out of Martinborough . Open the doors right up on a nice day and enjoy the fresh air or cozy up with a blanket on the couch in front of the fire when the weather makes you want to bunker down. The outdoor bath is the icing on the cake to allow you to take in the views while relaxing in the tub
