We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Te Ao oTe Puekeko. The cottage is situated in beautiful, peaceful countryside close to the mountains. It is much more spacious than it looks in the photographs and provided us with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We enjoyed the wood burner on chilly evenings. It was lovely to look at the sheep, cow, rabbits and birds in the paddock next to the cottage and to be greeted by the chickens. Mount Holdsworth, with lovely forest walks is a short drive away and Masterton and Carterton are nearby. The Wairarapa is a beautiful place and there are many interesting places to explore. Te Ao o Te Puekeko is in an excellent position to enjoy local countryside, events and the Wairarapa. We were greeted by Michael on arrival and he was always happy to help. We would very much like to have another stay in this lovely cottage.
