EcoFarmstayNZ Retro-style cottage

What a beautiful spot to get away from city life, yet so close to the city! Private and tucked away in some rolling hills near a small stream. Great woodfired tub and all the wildlife right at your doorstep.

The Solla Sollew cottage was a beautiful escape from the city. The hot tub was so relaxing, and easy to use with the advice from the lovely Jackie. This place is truly a gem - with little thoughtful, handmade extras which really make this place special. It was great to hear about and see all the hard work the hosts put into the property to ensure it is eco-friendly. Thank you for the lovely time, this is a place I would definitely recommend!

This was our second time staying, and we enjoyed it just as much. Great private spot surrounded by bush and bird life. Awesome location for accessing the city and the Kapiti Coast. The outside bath was a pleasure to sink into and relax after a day of activities. Definitely recommend

This place was amazing! We had been quite busy travelling around and seeing the sights of NZ and really needed a little time to recharge and relax and this was the perfect place to do it! Such a pretty cottage with everything we needed. Loved sitting outside listening to the birds and enjoying the seclusion. Great place and the host was so helpful and considerate. Would heartily recommend.

Highly recommend this accommodation if you are seeking a private, secluded place to stay but within easy, short travel to the city (any of Wgtn, Lower Hutt or Porirua). The deck area is fantastic - a view of the forest, great couches and the hot tub. We will definitely book again.

Our stay was amazing! Jackie was so kind, the scenery was beautiful and overall me and my partner had a very lovely romantic and RELAXING stay.

An amazing location where you get the proper feeling of being out on a picturesque farmland overlooking the mountains while still being a short drive to the city for if you want the city feels again. Hosts were amazing, leaving us mostly to ourselves but being available if we needed and a great conversation which is exactly what I like in a stay. Don't let the eco side put you off either if you're hesitant about that side, I'm a full-blown city boy and there wasn't anything I couldn't get my head around and it's a great example of how things can be done with barely a noticeable difference in your day to day life. Highly recommend staying here for anyone looking to get away from the city but may also want to pop back in on occasion.

I really enjoyed my two night stay. The little cottage and large deck were perfect for a mid week getaway for some peace and quiet. Loved the fruit trees and the gaggle of geese that visited each afternoon.

A well thought out cute and quirky cottage with everything you need today unplug and relax. The hot tub is divine, and the big comfy outdoor couch is the perfect spot to enjoy a wine or a coffee and watch the birds. We loved it!!!

So glad to have had this last minute chance for a break. A great way to start the new year in peace and comfort. Very laid back. We enjoyed the hosts’ hospitality with delicious wine and jam and many other thoughtful details. Being able to check out late meant a relaxed last morning too. This will be a great place to stay for future work in Wellington too as it’s very convenient for both Porirua and the Hutt. Thanks very much!

This was amazing! Jackie is a great host, very considerate, and the cottage was filled with everything we could possibly need and more. verything was intuitive to use and we really appreciated how eco conscious the whole place was. It really was the perfect place to spend our anniversary :)

4th time staying here. I think that says it all. Love it.
