Stay in a charming 1930s Californian bungalow on the edge of Featherston. Full of character and comfortably appointed, this three-bedroom home offers a relaxed Wairarapa stay with a unique feature: a large secure garage ideal for classic cars, motorcycles and touring enthusiasts. Located an easy stroll to Featherston's cafés, Booktown precinct and train station, the property is also perfectly positioned for exploring Martinborough wineries, Cape Palliser, Castlepoint and the wider Wairarapa region. The fully fenced section provides privacy and space for families, while the garage and off-street parking make it an excellent base for motoring groups, riders and weekend adventurers. Whether you're here for a wine weekend, cycling holiday, classic car tour or simply to unwind the Harrison House offers a uniquely Featherston experience.

Harrison House was our family home for five years. During that time we've carefully updated this charming 1930s Californian bungalow, blending modern comforts with its original character. The garage was a true labour of love. As keen motorcyclists and classic car enthusiasts, creating a secure space to house, work on and enjoy our vehicles was always part of the dream, and we hope fellow travellers will appreciate it too.
