An excellent breakfast, muesli with fresh fruit followed by nicely cooked scrambled eggs on toast with mushrooms and crispy bacon, cooked by our host on the spot. She herself was very engaging and gave us very useful advice about local features....

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.
