Off the comfortable bedroom is alovely bathroom with a claw foot bath and separate shower.

Shy Studio is a cosy peaceful space at the rear of our 1890's settlers cottage. It has a separate entrance and is surrounded by gardens which allow for privacy and peace and quiet.
You are self contained in a lovely light airy room with a comfy bed, sitting and dining area with your own kitchenette

Nestled under the trees is our Garden Spa Bath House. Watch the night sky while sharing a lovely relaxing bath over a wine or two. Please pre-book for an additional $20

Secluded and quiet, both the cottage and studio can be booked as self-catering or with our continental or `DIY' full breakfast kit.

    A lovely comfortable, clean and very well equipped cottage. Set in a quiet garden and just a short walk to the shops and cafes. Very welcoming hosts. Just wished we we’re staying more than one night!

    It is a convenient lovely old cottage with ample room inside and all the amenities we needed including a log fire which was perfect on a couple of cold nights. Not too far to walk to the main street of Greytown and Greytown Hotel almost right next door for a tasty meal. The Host was pleasant and helpful. Would stay again.

    What a beautiful retreat for one or two people. We loved being only a couple of minutes away from the shops, but feeling tucked away in our own private setting. The cottage is small but spotless and well presented. We appreciated the extra touches such as the toiletries, the chocolates, the hot drink selection and the fluffy robes. Would definitely stay there again.

    We stayed for one night. The location is easy to find and getting access to the property was simple with clear instructions. The cottage is very cute and an ideal size for a couple. It was clean, well decorated and some lovely touches such as bath salts, and chocolates.The spa bath lovely, although it was a little dirty. We sat out in the quite garden and enjoyed the late evening sunshine.

    Fantastic location, we walked into town, easy access to all amenities. A definite home from home, quiet, relaxing, and the hot tub, bath tub and wood burner, were the icing on the cake!!

    The house was well appointed, clean and tidy and really nice to stay in. The fireplace makes it really cozy and the bathtub is excellent. It’s a great location, central and good for getting around. The owners garage is right in front of the house though so there were some comings and goings during the day.
