Charming, peaceful country cottage - close to shops etc

Connollys Cottage is a charming, original, country cottage surrounded by nature but also close to the village shops. On 6.5 acre forest garden you will also have your own private garden. Great spot to relax, read and take some country walks or visit some of the sites in the Wairarapa. The night sky is perfect for star gazing on a clear night.

Lovely spot, would highly recommend
Tranquil wee spot on the fringes of town. It felt very rural and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting out in the lovely garden when the sun was out, and when it rained we enjoyed cozying down inside.

A perfect Christmas getaway
We had such a lovely time in this cute house. It had everything we needed for our stay and we had the best Christmas here - the kids’ room with the old fireplace was perfect for the Christmas stockings. The garden is ramshackle and perfect for the kids to explore, they loved it! They didn’t want to leave. Thanks for providing all we needed for our stay, we were truly able to unwind and relax.

We lòved the cute cottage. It is really nicely done. The bed linens are excellent quality and the beds are comfy. We sat out in the sun during the day and lit the fire in the evening when it got cool. The garden was gorgeous!

Great stay
Only gripe was, we had an issue with ants. They were all through one of the beds, and in spots all around the house. Have told host so hopefully they sort it. Otherwise perfect stay.

LOVELY COTTAGE
The description is 100% accurate. The cottage is surrounded by beautiful trees, very quite and private. It had everything we needed. Loved the fire, especially on the chilly evenings. Will definitely be back if we are in the area again.

Wairarapa revisited
Very attractive cottage with everything we needed. Lovely cuddly towels and crisp sheets. Cold weather so made the most of the large fire box and generous wood supply. Very quiet. Pleasant hosts located next door.
