Dark Sky Cottage

The cottage has been sympathetically renovated to retain character and charm, while also providing modern comforts. From the restored native timber floors to bespoke double glazing and fully renovated kitchen and bathroom, relaxation is key.

There is a fully equipped kitchen so you can whip up a masterpiece or plate up tasty treats. We happily provide generous seasonal breakfast fixings using local products.

The king sized bed in the master bedroom has luxury linen and an attached large sunroom with day bed for relaxing. To enhance your stay there is a bespoke cinema room, with streaming and dvd options where you can snuggle in with your favourite stars.

Take yourself outside to sit on the deck and enjoy the quiet of the countryside. Or immerse yourself in the outdoor clawfoot bathtub to star gaze at the wonders of the universe. To assist with your relaxation, we can offer no wi-fi, but the password is also available if you desire. There is no mobile coverage, so you can completely switch off if you’d like. There is a range of books, DVDS, and board games you can use to pass the time.

Guest access
Guests access is via your own driveway, off the main one, and the cottage is private and a distance from the main house. However, you might see us coming and going. Please feel free to say Kia Ora and ask if you have requirements or questions we might help with.

Other things to note
We are ten kilometres (a ten-minute drive) from Martinborough Square. Only a two-minute drive from the famous Martinborough Tree Church and award winning Blue Earth Estate.

Surrounded by a working farm, we are immersed in stunning natural beauty. Depending on the season the adjoining paddocks can be housing sheep, cows, or even prize bulls. Due to the beautiful rural location, you will also be lucky enough to spot native birds in abundance.
