We stayed for a girls weekend in the Wairarapa and chose to stay at Fareham house. The accommodation was very reasonably priced, while the large size house had multiple choices of bedrooms to choose from. Although looking at the house, we did have our reservations, but once inside we were transported back in time. The beautiful staircase leads up to cosy bedrooms with equally cosy beds. Simple kitchen and bathrooms, we ate locally and returned to spend an entertaining evening in the lounge surrounded by books, history and artworks.
