Beautifully designed and furnished self contained place - it was a delight to find it, after following the directions through the rolling Wairarapa countryside. It feels longer than you think it should, as you approach via a private road, but the large white gravel winds by the river and just high enough up the hill to look across Martinborough and beyond.
We were lucky to have a beautiful day, and the views across the valley were stunning (and Sharon and Owen's garden even more so). The well built and pleasant details (high ceilings, lovely solid furniture, underfloor heating in the bathroom, high quality bedding, and home made and healthy breakfast) added to the clear dark skies (I doubt you'll see more stars anywhere).
There are plenty books and a good little CD player set up, very relaxing. It was nice sitting out in the dark talking with a wine and a whisky, looking at the stars. We all slept well.
Wonderful, wonderful stay. Sharon sent us on our way with a few limes from the glut of citrus on the tree, and directions to a farmers market in a vineyard, with some very skilled musicians.
Looking forward to staying again!
