Neighborhood info

The Wairarapa is only 90 minutes from Wellington City and yet we are surrounded by farmland and rolling hills. Where we are in Gladstone there is a school and a pub, wineries and farms. 15 minutes drive to the small towns of Masterton and Carterton and around 20 minutes drive to Greytown and Martinborough. It is a small, friendly community. Lots of fabulous wine is produced on our doorstep, the scenery is beautiful - in winter we enjoy views of snow-covered summits and sparkling frost. In summer it is hot and dry.
