If you need some seclusion then this is the spot for you. Located nearer to Castlepoint than Masterton miles up the Tinui Valley road, the cottage is on a large farm that dates back to the 1850's. The cottage has been very well restored, with a lot of personal touches and everything that you need to self-cater, relax, and unwind. A large living area with wood burner is perfect for the wet days and cold nights. A spacious lawn outside with space for a bonfire if the weather works. There is no cellphone reception in the area and the digital-detox is worth it. Lucinda is a great host, welcoming and warm, she met us as we arrived and later helped us light the bonfire. Thoroughly recommend this as a country bach stay. It's near to Castlepoint, around40 mins, where you can get supplies and wander the beach if you need a day trip away.
