The cottage is cozy, If you are looking for 4 star this is not for you. If you want clean, comfortable bed. with a view of a few cows and chickens ( no rooster calls). This is the place. Tom was very helpful even gave us home made bread, you dont get that in a 4 star hotel.

Tom was so welcoming, he even let us hold one of his chickens! The house is beautiful and lived all the small touches like breakfast foods, butter and milk. We loved hanging out by the pool and chatting with Tom. Highly recommend this place for a weekend away!

A very nice place to stay in the country with cattle looking at you through the window.

Fantastic place to stay. Thanks Tom for lighting the fire for us and making it toasty and warm to settle into. Lovely place to stay, comfortable bed and seating, great shower pressure, lovely outlook and private setting. Delightful to have breakfast out in the sun looking across the fields and watching the bird life. Nice and close for Wairarapa mini adventures and dinners. Thanks for a great place to relax and get away into the countryside.

Spent two nights as Tom’s guests in the Drovers cottage. Tom gave us a brief history of the place as we checked in. We had everything we needed and enjoyed waking up to bird calls and sheep in the pasture.

The property was better in real life than in pictures. Beautiful little cottage with all the amenities and hospitality to go along with it. Loved every moment of our stay with Tom. A gorgeous host would highly recommend and we will be going back to stay there again when we go back to NZ. We miss our cow wakeup in the morning..
