The heart of South Wairarapa — country peace, town delights, and coast adventures.
Rose Cottage sits in a quiet rural setting, surrounded by orchards and open space, yet just an easy drive from some of Wairarapa’s best-loved towns and attractions.
Martinborough – world-famous for its vineyards and relaxed wine-tasting culture (15–20 mins)
Greytown – boutique shopping, artisan food, and historic charm (15 mins)
Featherston – bookshops, cafés, and a gateway to the Remutaka Rail Trail (10 mins)
Lake Ferry & Cape Palliser – rugged coastline, fishing, and seal colonies (40–60 mins)
Back at the cottage, you’ll enjoy peaceful views, big skies, and glorious sunsets — the best of country living without being far from everything.
A car is recommended to make the most of the area, whether you’re planning a wine tour, browsing local markets, or heading to the coast for the day. Wellington is just over an hour away, making Rose Cottage a convenient escape that feels wonderfully removed from city life.
Once you leave Kahutara road and turn on to the gravel driveway, Rose Cottage is the first house up the gravel driveway.
