Maureen and Jenny were terrific hosts; they responded quickly to my request to stay that on the same day that I made the booking; the rooms are fabulously roomy, and nicely decorated, and the hosts very hospitable. I felt privileged to be allowed to stay in this fabulous building. A light breakfast and tea and coffee were available, which I wasn't expecting for the price. This is a fabulous building, but needs some renovation, which Maureen and Jenny are planning to do as soon as all the permits etc come through. So not the epitome of luxury, but still a great place to stay. One of the original old homesteads in Featherston set on a huge section (literally acres of land) and and outdoor pool if you are keen. Great place to stay for cyclists, and might even suit people towing horses around the place. I'm looking at the possibility of doing a cycle trail (Rimutaka and the Wairarapa rail corridor) just because I know I could stay with Maureen. Try it, you'll enjoy it.
