My dad and I stayed at Alison’s Laurel Cottage for 2 nights while we were in the Wairarapa for my sister’s graduation. It is such a beautiful, clean and well thought out cottage. Alison had thought of everything - the kitchen is very well equipped (including food to get you started), the bathroom has quality towels and plenty of them (as well as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand mirror and beautiful flowers from the garden). The beds have very good quality linen and were very comfortable. My dad had the bed in the bedroom and said he slept very well on it and I slept on the fold out couch which was also really comfortable.
Alison was warm and welcoming when she met us and helped us out with travel around the area. She was kind and generous but we also felt the place was very quiet and private despite being close to the main house.
Alison and her husband have created a beautiful purpose-built cottage that makes for perfect Wairarapa accommodation!
