WAIRERE REST | LUXE Couples High Country Retreat | Outdoor Bath + Amazing Garden

THE EXPERIENCE

Down a quiet country lane is Wairere Rest, a divine retreat, nestled in 4 acres of country gardens, designed by renowned gardener Edna Walling in 1925. The stylish interiors have been lovingly curated by your host with comfort & relaxation in mind.

Wander down stone paths lined with wildflowers, enjoy a picnic on the lawns under our 100 year old pin oak or indulge in an outdoor bath overlooking our farm, with just the cows, birds & deer to keep you company...... a truly memorable experience.

THE SPACE

Wairere Rest is a rare find, sheltered within the farm's unique heritage gardens. There are so many beautiful nooks and crannies to explore and rest around the gardens that its best to just scroll through the images and see what takes your fancy. Pick some produce or flowers to enjoy while you rest, or find a shady tree to finish your favourite book.

The cottage itself offers everything you could need to keep you comfortable and help you unwind. The modern furnishings blend beautifully with vintage pieces, reflecting a 'high country cattlemen's hut' vibe. The interiors include the hosts favourite things such as Robert Gordon ceramics, Dindi Natural skin products and various curiosities gathered from markets and antique stores around Australia.

Enjoy a drink or movie to the crackling of our indoor or outdoor fireplaces, lazy breakfasts in bed listening to birdsong, or perhaps slip on a robe and take an indulgent soak in our outdoor tub overlooking the farm. Guest Note: Tucked in next to the cottage you will find the beautiful Wairere Homestead, which is also set up as guest accommodation and is available for groups of up to 10 people (feel free to contact me directly if you are interested in booking this option in the future). Rest assured we do not book more than one group at a time at Wairere so you will have the entire property to yourselves for the duration of your stay.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.
