About this property

Boutique accommodation in Greytown, the heart of the glorious Wairarapa and less than 5 minutes walk from Greytown's picturesque town centre

Shy Cottage is a stand alone 1890's settlers cottage, nestled at the back of our property, which allows for privacy and peace and quiet. It was moved onto the section in 2002 and was renovated and insulated so now is cosy, warm and romantic. There is a full kitchen with a dining area and lounge with a wood burner. Off the comfortable bedroom is a lovely bathroom with a claw foot bath and separate shower.

Shy Studio is a cosy peaceful space at the rear of our 1890's settlers cottage. It has a separate entrance and is surrounded by gardens which allow for privacy and peace and quiet.
You are self contained in a lovely light airy room with a comfy bed, sitting and dining area with your own kitchenette

Nestled under the trees is our Garden Spa Bath House. Watch the night sky while sharing a lovely relaxing bath over a wine or two. Please pre-book for an additional $20

Secluded and quiet, both the cottage and studio can be booked as self-catering or with our continental or `DIY' full breakfast kit.
During your stay at this bed & breakfast, you'll be within walking distance of Stonehenge Aotearoa.

Fantastic location, we walked into town, easy access to all amenities. A definite home from home, quiet, relaxing, and the hot tub, bath tub and wood burner, were the icing on the cake!!

Cute cottage!
The house was well appointed, clean and tidy and really nice to stay in. The fireplace makes it really cozy and the bathtub is excellent. It’s a great location, central and good for getting around. The owners garage is right in front of the house though so there were some comings and goings during the day.

Greytown Break
Property was delightful. Suitably historic and authentic. Only issue was that while we received confirmation of our booking we didn’t receive any details of address and check in procedures which meant that we had to disturb the hosts, who were most accommodating.

great little spot
this was a great little cottage that was really handy to the Greytown shops. The 'Top Pub' is literally a couple of doors down the road and had a great little menu for an easy tea. Lovely spot

Shy Cottage a treat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Shy Cottage - just perfect for our stay in Greytown. Lovely space especially with the fire to keep the rooms warm. It was a peaceful spot and so close to the town centre. Sandie was very helpful and great communication. We hope to stay again!

Lovely stay
The cottage was exceptionally clean and the renovations to make it more modern had been done really well. Loved the outdoor spa bath! Only downside was the duvet was too thick for a hot night and we couldn't find anything lighter. Other than that we loved it.
