Country Bliss Historic Greytown Cottage

Country Bliss Cottage is an original historic Greytown cottage, with origins dating back to the 1880s. Lovingly cared for, the cottage retains its authentic character and charm while offering the modern comforts today’s travellers appreciate.

Set within a private, sunny garden, the cottage is a peaceful retreat . Mature fruit trees and traditional cottage garden flowers create a relaxed, timeless atmosphere — perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the Wairarapa.

Inside, the décor is a thoughtful blend of vintage and contemporary, with quality furnishings throughout. In winter, the roaring log fire (with all firewood supplied) creates a wonderfully cosy escape, making Country Bliss an inviting place to stay in every season.

Although wonderfully quiet and private, the cottage is just an easy walk to Greytown’s cafés, restaurants and boutique shops, offering the best of both worlds.
Guest access
Guests have exclusive use of the entire property. You will have the large, private, mature garden to yourselves and are welcome to help yourselves to any produce from the garden during your stay.

Perfect getaway

We’ve stayed here before and will stay again, perfect for us and our parents to have a couple of family days away together, lovely outdoor area for meals and close to town yet really peaceful plus we can bring our dog which is our reason for booking properties as he’s always on the tour!
