Cosy Cottage Getaway (with breakfast &EVcharge) enjoy the country 20min from CBD

Planning your next R&R weekend from the city, romantic escape to the countryside, creative retreat or capital work trip - the beautiful, warm, cosy Cottage Getaway has everything you need.

Welcome to our beautiful cottage - newly-built, well-heated and nestled in rural, tranquil Ohariu Valley, Wellington - 20 minutes drive from Wellington CBD and 10 minutes drive from train or bus station.

Complimentary continental breakfast, tea & coffee.

Complimentary EV fastcharging for Type 2.

Relax on the sofa with a magazine or stream to the TV with a cuppa from the breakfast station equipped with hot drinks, cold drinks and complimentary continental breakfast which includes bread, spreads, cereals and homemade GF/DF muesli. Nespresso coffee machine.

Sit on the porch and enjoy the fresh country air and noises, bird song and starry skies (with no city light).

Make use of the exercise equipment - mat, roller, blocks and elastic band.

Take a break from cooking, as there are no cooking facilities available, except easy heat and eat. Instead enjoy Wellington’s cuisine or nearby Johnsonville restaurants, or order in from the limited restaurants nearby that do rural delivery.

Snuggle into the comfy queen bed warmed by the electric blanket, quality cotton sheets, soft wool duvet and wake up to the native birds playing and eating in the trees. This space is best suited for an individual or couple, but a portacot or trundler bed is available on request.

Enjoy the convenience of the ensuite bathroom equipped with large shower space, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hairdryer and towels.

Come unwind from the hustle and bustle. We hope you will love this space as much as we do!

Please remember:

Leave your pets at home sorry as we already have a friendly labrador - who is well secured elsewhere and always supervised.

This is a country property with working farm properties nearby. From time-to-time you may hear nearby farming activities or animals, or smell farming smells. These will be at reasonable hours and not last long.

There is limited cellular signal depending on provider - Spark signal is fine. Complimentary WIFI works great for iMessage texts, calls with apps such as Messenger, FaceTime etc.

Come stay again to see the progress on our outside landscaping projects.
