About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Large spacious family friendly home with pool and spa

Set on a large plot with park like gardens all around, this spacious family friendly home really is a home away from home. In summer you'll spend all your time outside relaxing poolside, and in winter you can cosy up inside with the fire going and enjoy a nice warm spa.

The generous master bedroom features an ensuite and small changing area. The other 3 double bedrooms have direct sliding door access out to the deck which captures the morning sun and is a great spot to have your morning coffee.

A generous lounge and dining room with ornate high ceilings connects to a family sized kitchen. Directly off the kitchen is an outside entertaining area which looks out over the pool, spa and gardens. The pool is a solar heated salt water 12m x 20m pool, so plenty of space for all the family to enjoy splashing around in the pool during the summer months! Shallow end is waist deep on an average adult and the deep end is shoulder deep.

Fully appointed bathroom with separate bath as well as an additional toilet, mud room and laundry room. There is a log burning fireplace located centrally in the hallway as well as heat pumps in both the hallway and lounge.

Located in the desirable suburb of Lansdowne, with central Masterton, Queen Elizabeth Park and all other surrounding attractions nearby. Just down the end of the road, there is a dairy and children's playground.

Peaceful and luxurious stay

The property was a great size for 7 people and we absolutely loved the pool and BBQ area. The lounge was very comfortable and the location was fantastic for Harvest, just a short taxi ride away. The kitchen had everything we needed and we really appreciated the fresh fruit. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great place to stay

This is the second time we've stayed at this special place. We felt very at home in the house, and appreciate that there's lots of room to spread out in. But we especially love the pool and the spa pool and made the most of them. The outdoor table area was great for spending time and eating meals. And the hosts were great, providing good instructions and making us feel welcome in their house. I hope we will be able to visit again!

Masterton stay

The house is spacious with easy access and lovely outdoor pool, spa and dining. Kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were well supplied and comfortable. We had a great stay and enjoyed the closer driving proximity to Rathkeale College on one hand and the easy walk to Lansdowne cafes on the other. Thankyou to the owners for sharing their property with us. We had an awesome stay.

Spacious, comfortable house

The property is large and very well-equipped with some lovely outdoor space. Unfortunately, the weather was pretty shocking the week we were there but we did manage some dips in the hot tub and some hours sitting outside. The kitchen is large and user-friendly with everything you could possibly need. The living and separate dining areas are also spacious and the bedrooms are generous too. Some lovely original features. Chris was very quick and responsive with the few queries we had.

Lovely weekend away with friends

We had such a fab time at this location - had a ball in the pool all weekend and cooked some yummy meals in the very well-organised kitchen - so handy having all the equipment like mixing bowls, pots/pans, lots of cutlery etc that short term acommo places are very often lacking! Even had a stand mixer for when we went to make pizza dough, one of the girls in our group was so stoked 😅 Thank you Buzz and Chris for having us in your amazing home :)

No need to leave!

We were lucky enough to hit an amazing Wairarapa weekend and spent a lot of time staying in..... the kids ( and adults!) had loads of space to play football/cricket, ride bikes and playing for hours in the pool. Its not often that the kids would rather stay than go out! Everything you could need was available and the owners were very approachable. Fairly quiet neighbourhood with a local playground and dairy but not far from town either.
