About this property

Shy Studio - Boutique accommodation in Greytown

Boutique accommodation in Greytown, the heart of the glorious Wairarapa and less than 5 minutes walk from Greytown's picturesque town centre

Shy Cottage is a stand alone 1890's settlers cottage, nestled at the back of our property, which allows for privacy and peace and quiet. It was moved onto the section in 2002 and was renovated and insulated so now is cosy, warm and romantic. There is a full kitchen with a dining area and lounge with a wood burner. Off the comfortable bedroom is a lovely 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.
During your stay at this bed & breakfast, you'll be within walking distance of Stonehenge Aotearoa.
  • Just a 2-minute drive from Stonehenge Aotearoa and a few minutes from Cobblestones Village Museum
This bed & breakfast offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Greytown bed & breakfast is smoke free.
