About this property

MikiMiki Retreat. Peaceful rural cottage close to Tararua Ranges and Masterton.

  • Experience the best of the Wairarapa from our tranquil cottage retreat! A
    short 20 minute drive from Masterton ( the last 5 mins on a gravel road)
    will bring you to our piece of paradise, tucked up against the Tararua
    ranges at the end of the picturesque Mikimiki valley.

    With many attractions nearby, there is plenty to explore.

    Masterton Golden Shears, Castlepoint lighthouse, Pukaha Wildlife Sanctuary, Wairarapa Stonehenge, numerous wineries, deer hunting, tramping, fishing and more.

    Or just relax.
    Enjoy free Wi-Fi, a cozy fireplace, spring-fed water, and the sound of the
    stream behind the cottage.
    Ideal for couples, solo travelers, and business guests.
    Night sky perfect for stargazing.
    Explore the stream behind the cottage, wander down to the river and
    discover the swimming hole, or picnic beside the pond on the property.
    Hunters, bring your gear—deer are just up the road in the Tararua ranges!
    Enjoy easy access to fly fishing and golf courses, or just relax to the
    sound of birdsong.
    Kereru, fantails, tui, bellbird, swallows, kingfisher, and more. Often the
    call of moreporks can be heard on still nights.
    (Tastefully decorated, spacious fully contained 1 bedroom cottage.
    Fully equipped kitchen, dining and lounge, 1 bathroom, separate toilet and
    laundry. Bedroom sleeps 2. (Fold out couch in lounge sleeps additional 1 -2)

    100% cotton sheets for your comfort.
