Spacious, Private Accommodation: Peaceful Rural Cottage in Mikimiki Valley offers a spacious private flat with one bedroom, one full bathroom with a huge shower and fully equipped kitchen. This one level home has a private entrance and country garden views from large picture windows. Close to Tararua Forest Park trails that lead to the Te Mara Blue Range and the Kiriwhakapapa loop, so the cottage would be an excellent way to start or end your next tramping adventure into the Tararua Ranges. Convenient Amenities: Guests enjoy free Starlink internet, heat pump, washing machine, and a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, oven, stovetop, and microwave. Additional amenities include an enclosed log burner fireplace for the colder months, a large feather couch to cuddle up on, a little dining area, and good soundproofing in the bedroom for a good nights sleep. Outdoor Spaces: The property has extensive gardens and grounds with a spring fed pond and river access for fishing or swimming that you are welcome to explore. Important note: Children are welcome but are 100% the responsibility of their parents and must be supervised at all times as there are plenty of water and other hazards on a working lifestyle block. Free on-site private parking is available for guests, and we can accomodate RV’s if needed. Often deer, pheasant, and quail may be seem on the property, plus 2 cows, hens and roosters, and Linda's friendly cat named Tara. Perfect Location: - Tucked into a picturesque valley at the base of the Tararua Ranges. - 5 minutes drive to the trailhead into Tararua Forest Park - 17 mins drive from Masterton - 70 mins drive from Palmerston North International Airport - 90 mins drive from Wellington Airport and Picton ferry.
Your host, Linda, lives next door in the main house and is available for any questions you may have. She is happily retired and loves being in her garden and taking care of the many daily chores on her lifestyle block. .
The cottage is tucked in at the base of the Tararua Ranges, 20km north of Masterton, 120km north of Wellington, and 90km south of Palmerston North - accessible via a quiet country gravel road that winds through a picturesque valley, providing stunning views of the ranges and surrounding countryside. The Wairarapa region hosts a number of exciting festivals and events each year including the annual Golden Shears competition, the Taste of Martinborough, Greytown Christmas Festival and the Wairarapa Balloon Festival. The nearest town of Masterton has groceries, shopping, entertainment and dining - all the amenities that you might need for a comfortable stay. We are happy to recommend one of the many local restaurants or wineries in the area, or simply check out the takeaway menus in the cottage welcome folder. The area is well known for its fantastic tramping, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, and is renowned for conservation with Pukaha Wildlife Sanctuary just 15 min north of us (famous for its resident white Kiwi and his adorable multi hued children - as well as a beautiful stand of giant redwood trees). Pukaha’s awesome cafe has home-made treats and great coffee.
