Ruamahanga Paradise
The little cottage has been renovated to a quality standard. Very quiet and peaceful, with 1 min walk to the river for swimming and fishing.Damian and Tracy are beautiful hosts, inviting us to help ourselves in the orchard, glasshouse, and even eggs from the free range chickens.Masterton is only a few minutes drive on a good road. We fully recommend Northfield Farm Cottage. It's so relaxing. Excellent value for money

On golden pond
Great spacious property in great location by pond. Sights and sounds of nature are wonderful.A couple of little things like plant incursions by back door prevent 5 stars on cleanliness.
Great place to stay in the Wairarapa. Lovely cottage in a rural setting only a short drive to Masterton. Our son loved the animals and we enjoyed utilising the river access.

Stunning setting
Beautiful cottage far away enough from the main house to feel private. Close to a lovely fishing river so trout for dinner. Very friendly and generous hosts who supplemented our supplies with wonderful fresh eggs. Strongly recommend for a lovely rural break.

Great stay
Although we didn’t spend a lot of time at the cottage it was very nice, we did check in late and we arrived to a very warm house which was great for me and my daughter.
Only thing to note is it’s recommend to bring some bottled water as the water is not treated.
Thanks

Wonderful warm cottage
This place had everything we needed for our whānau of 3 to enjoy a few nights away. Clean, cosy house, comfy beds. Well appointed kitchen and bathroom. Heat pump kept us warm. Good sized table for board games. Good sized TV and good wifi. Great river walk. My daughter loved the Guinea pigs. The only thing we needed to bring was a coffee plunger.
An immaculately clean cottage with everything we needed for a break away, including a comfortable bed. It was located in a quiet rural location with a pleasant outlook. Thank you!

Excellent quiet stay in the countryside
Nice place for a few days to spend time away from the city. Great location to sit outside reading a book or taking the short walk down to the river. My son loved visiting the guinepig hutch and Zeus the lovely dog who decided on joining us for walkies!

Great value cottage
The cottage is located down a long drive and past the owner’s house and is nice and quiet.
There is a great safe swimming hole in the river.. go through the gate to the right of the pond, across the paddock , through the gate with a padlock and down the walkway turning right at the bottom. A couple of minutes later you will arrive at the swimming hole. Lovely!
The only things missing were a coffee plunger, and a good curtain in the single room (which gets the morning sun). These are both on the owners to do list so will probably appear soon.
We would happily stay here again, it was lovely having a wine on the deck in the late afternoon sun, star gazing and spotting satellites. Such a good value option. Thank you.
